Splurge Day

January 20th, 2008

Today is Sunday and I totally strayed from my JC food plan.  I had a JC breakfast, pancakes/sausage and a bottle of water.  Went to church, where my little Princess bumpkin sang in the choir, cute as can be.  Church was over at 12:15, by the time we finished socializing and getting Princess packed off with a friend for a play date and sleepover, it was 1:00 and DH wanted to go to brunch.  I wasn’t starving, so I thought that would be a great time to go to brunch, while I’m not starving and less likely to binge.  Brunch was delicious and I loaded up on salad and fruits, but still managed to have two servings of salmon, some sauteed scallops, a tiny bit of potatos au grautin and a scoop of bread pudding.  DH and I took advantage of the sunshine and the fact that Princess was gone for the day and went on a long walk, about 2 miles, which was really nice.  Came home and had a cat nap then went to see Cloverfield tonight.  I liked it, DH was unimpressed, said the wobbly camera was going to give him a seizure, which I thought was pretty funny : )  I had a pretzel and diet coke at the movie theatre, and am calling that dinner. 

So all in all, not a great day for JC food plan, but I feel like my splurges were pretty well controlled.  I’ve been on JC for nine weeks and this is only the second time that I’ve really gone off plan for a whole day.  In the nine weeks I have lost every week, so I hope to continue that trend.  In my mind I am justifying the food splurge by saying it was offset by the extra exercise.  But in reality, I should have stayed on plan PLUS gotten the exercise to help push myself to meeting my second mini-goal.  My first mini-goal was 10 lb by Christmas, and I made it.  My second was to lost 20 lb total by Feb. 2 (we have a formal event to attend) and I’m kind of off track for meeting that goal since Feb. 2 is now 13 days away and I’ve got six pounds to go.  I VOW TO HAVE A GOOD WEEK THIS WEEK… staying on my food plan, getting extra exercise and drinking at least four bottles of water per day.  Now that I have officially VOWED it, I have to do it, right?
