A few days in and still not thin! ;)
Well, yesterday was kind of a draw. I have a total hangover and got almost no sleep last night so forgive me in advance for this post being incoherant.
I woke up and got ready to go to the Science Center with my BFF and totally forgot to eat breakfast (I seriously hate eating in the morning, it doesn’t even occur to me unless I force myself). So that was bad. I keep telling myself I HAVE to eat breakfast and then when it comes down to it, the thought makes me gag.
When we got to the Science Center we were starving and didn’t feel like driving around the city and getting lost so we just ate at the cafeteria. There was tons of crap but I managed to zoom in on the one grilled chicken salad in the cooler. It was just the chicken and plain iceberg mix. Yuck. I love salad, but this one was prepackaged and nasty. And the dressings they offered were gross so I just ate it dry. It wasn’t good but I was full after eating half of it.
Back in town, we decide to hit up a bar. I’m not a big drinker, I have maybe a drink or two a week usually, but we just got TANKED last night. A ton of Long Islands and dancing to Michael Jackson (RIP) was extremely necessary after a day of being packed into a building like sardines with thousands of children. Obnoxious children with ridiculously bad manners whose parents did absolutely nothing to correct the behavior, but I digress. I KNOW drinking is bad and there’s a ton of cals in liqour, but if it’s any consolation I threw up the entire contents of my stomach last night. And woke up at five in the morning (after sleeping for like, 2 hours) with SEVERE charley horse/calf cramps that had me screaming like I was in a damn horror movie. I mean serious bloody murder. I’ve been up ever since. That’s what I get for bingeing on alcohol, but in the grand scheme of things I probably didn’t go over my calorie limit at the end of the day. Not healthy, but still.
The day before yesterday I was really good, I had a Lean Cuisine for lunch, a couple pieces of fruit throughout the day, and then a veggie/romaine salad with broiled fish for dinner.
Right now though, I am totally dying to get a vegetable tempura bowl at my fave Japanese place…it’s THE BEST hangover cure on the face of the planet, and totally delicious, but I’m resisting! This girl is on a deep-fried detox. I told myself if I had to cheat a little to just have a square of chocolate once in a while, but whatever I do STAY AWAY from anything fried. I swear, fried foods are a form of the devil. And I know once I stay away from them for a while, I barely ever crave them.
Well….I’m definitely not my peak self right now, so I’ll sign off here..thanks for the comments, a big reason I started this blog was to hear from others in my same boat so I really appreciate that. Talk to you guys later.
Hey there! Can really relate to your “fat-thin-fat again” story. Mine wasn’t that extreme (was never that dedicated) but really admire you for having that in you to begin with. Stick with it!
