I’ve missed blogging (and commenting) the past few days!  I had a big report due at work and was consumed by that - and then when the report was done I had to play catchup with the work that wasn’t getting done while we were working on the report.  Annnnnyway, after a few late night work sessions (last night ’til 2am), I’m mostly caught up and glad for the weekend.  Very glad!

I’ve also been “too busy to exercise.”  My knee feels well enough for the DDR (minus the jumps still) but I just truly have not had the time to devote to it.  Oh, I suppose I could have given up yet another hour of sleep, but after working about 18 hours straight, I just couldn’t do it.  Nevertheless, I broke through the stall and dropped down to 251-point-something which made me very happy!  I’M ALMOST THROUGH THE TWO-FIFTIES ALREADY!  WOOHOOOO!

I think I made a mistake at lunch today.  Got all cocky with the “Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-I-can-have-alfredo” attitude and overdid it.  What did I do?  I called Quizno’s and ordered my favorite favorite sandwich to be delivered.  Twenty minutes later I had in front of me… a steaming hot Chicken Carbonara sandwich, which has on it:  grilled chicken breast, cheese, bacon, and bacon-alfredo sauce (I ordered it with no mushrooms).  All of these items (except for the bread its on, obviously) are LOW CARB.  And really, really yummy.  I scraped the innards of the sandwich off and ate them on low-carb tortillas. 

Here’s the obligatory food porn:

YES, I can have this on Atkins.

But.

I’m counting calories too.  And CRAP, the calories for this yummo-fest were through the roof!!  I’ll be eating salad for dinner tonight, as payment for this indulgence.  Worst of all, though, was how yucky I felt after eating my lunch - I was well and truly stuffed - and I’m just not used to feeling like that anymore.   I should have eaten slower and stopped when I felt full instead of stuffing myself to over-full just because I could.

Hey, I’m learning from etherence and aliciag57, my Intuitive Eating friends!  =D

ANYWAY, I missed y’all, and I’m glad to be back!

(I was looking for a I-ate-too-much-at-lunch cartoon and
somehow came across this …
… and it made me snort!  So I had to post it!)

    LOL! Food p*rn! That sure does look yummy. We all gotta learn our lessons and pay our dues sometimes or we would never change our habits. I have had plenty of “those” times myself!

    Oh how I WISH that was a pic of me on my blog! OMG. The pics of me are in a couple of posts from a while back. My user name was inspired by Jillian of TBL when she screamed “GET! UP! NOW!” at this dude who was slackin’ on his workout. Those three words and her attitude behind it were how I knew I had to approach this diet/exercise/health thing.

    Congrats on the 251.something!! You rock!!
