Well, today started out well, but this evening did not follow the pattern.  I went to work out, and I have a pulled or strained muscle.  I don’t know whether it happened with the first weight exercise tonight or if it happened yesterday or what, but my hamstring is giving me problems.  So, I did the ab part of the workout, and then I left.  I tried to elliptical, but it hurt, so I decided it would be better to give it a rest.  I’ll probably rest tomorrow, too.  I do arms tomorrow, so I’ll go do that, but I doubt I’ll run or elliptical.  Hopefully by Thursday I’ll be able to run again.  I really don’t want to get set back, and I want the calorie burn.

That wasn’t the worst part, though– I have really been eating well, and tonight I slipped back into the “just a bite of this” habit.  I was genuinely hungry, but still– I really feel like I could have avoided it.  I had three melba toasts (50 calories) and a few peanuts (100).  So, really, it’s not like a binge or anything, but I guess I’m feeling the “I have to achieve perfection” mentality since I made such a big deal of it yesterday.  After the peanuts, I did eat my spinach, which curbed the craving, so here I sit with not much further damage done I suppose.  I’m just still mad that I couldn’t work out.  Hopefully tomorrow will be better!
