Really having trouble post cruise…

Posted grneyedmustang on February 23rd, 2009 | Filed under General, South Beach Diet, exercise, weight loss

Dieting has been EXTREMELY DIFFICULT since I’ve been off that ship!!!!

Last week, I only worked out Sunday, Wednesday, and Saturday. Monday night, I had to take the supervisors at my job out to eat for dinner. We went to Carrabba’s to eat, and everything (except that darn bread) that I ate was on plan. Tuesday night, one of the support teams took my department out to eat at Fogo De Chao. Major trouble. If you’re not familiar with Fogo De Chao, google it. Major badness. I will say that I didn’t stuff myself until I was miserable, and before the “buffet” began I had a huge green salad and added chickpeas to it. Wednesday, I did make it to the gym, but I didn’t make it to spin class because I got off work late. Thursday, I had dinner and drinks with a friend. I was pretty good foodwise, but I had two martinis which I’m sure weren’t on plan. Friday, I got off work late AGAIN, after an extremely stressful day. This time I went home and had buffalo wings and fries - yikes! 8-O

I do realize that I have to find a better way to “cope” when life throws me unexpected curveballs, such as last week. I did okay with the food but I have to learn how to say no to that dayum bread basket and leave martinis alone!!! I also need to figure out what to do when I get thrown “off schedule” and can’t make it to the gym. I am very much a creature of habit/schedules and I hate for my schedule to be off kilter.

The last time I checked, the scale was at 237. Maybe that means that I’m still okay…I’d love to be back at 234 by month’s end, but that is 5 days away…so we’ll see.

I have got to make March a better month!

    Congrats on being back and passing that 235 mark. You’ve done really well since May. I don’t know why it is so difficult to get right back to it after getting away from it (the cruise thing). I know, even if I enjoy a cheat meal or whatever you wanna call it one night, it’s just so much easier the next day to keep doing things I don’t really want to. Now I’m getting worried… this makes me realize with my upcoming trip to see my parents in AR, that I could be putting myself out of whack and at risk for the next couple weeks! Going into it, the confidence is high!
