Self Sabatoge or Usual Ups and Downs?

Posted by: delitaagain In: Updates

First, I had trouble doing all my dog walking and workouts. Then, I ran a lot while walking the dog one day and found out I was supposed to *run* a 5k for my workout the next day. It was really important to me to get a good time (for a change! lol) but I was soooo whipped from overdoing it the day before. I could barely walk, but walked extra, and forfeited the run. =/

Next day was supposed to be a rest day and I really struggled with wanting to *make up* what I had missed. Today I didn’t finish my workout because my equipment broke, but again was *whipped* after the dog walking.

Am I trying to do too much? Can I adapt to this doing more and increase my stamina and weight loss? That would be the plan! lol

Next, I went from staying on my food to having chocolate - a lot. And kept going the next day (today). And then forgot to eat dinner ( a real no-no) and got a chicken sandwich at Bojangles which means I ate wheat. Plus sweet tea.

My food plan is meat, eggs, nuts, green veggies and fruit. No sweets, no wheat, and, AT LEAST THREE MEALS A DAY. Could I eat chocolate and NOT count it as a sweet?? Could I count chocolate as a meal?? I think not.

Self sabatoge? Or usual ups and downs? I refuse to panic. But weigh in is less than 36 hours away and just eating wheat usually drives my weight up 3-5 pounds. Yikes. I really do want to get back into the swing of losing at least a pound (or more) a week, then make it to *one*derland 4 months from now. Hmmm.

How was your week?

I dont think you are self sabatoging your self. You are only human and I think it is normal to eat chocolate every now and then ;)

Ah, hveeck, thank you so much for your comforting words and for taking time out of your hectic days to encourage me! I sure would like to think that it is *normal* to go off every once in a while, even if the *off* stuff itself looks a little crazy. Today (after two days off) I’ve been able to get back on. I hope, in time to salvage my weigh-in tomorrow. Anyway, thanks. Your thoughts made my day! Delita
