I have been a careless, careless chicky!! Not about exercise...I've been doing pretty well with that. I've even progressed to some more difficult Tae Bo videos and have been using resistance bands.
What I HAVE been careless about is my eating. I think I've fallen off of the wagon a bit. I definately have not been following a healthy eating plan. Granted, I haven't done too bad during the week. But, I got hooked on the apple crips oatmeal (in the packets) and I know that it can't be that healthy. I've been eating a Lean Cuisine every week day for lunch. But, dinner has been bad. I've realized that even though I eat a large salad before dinner, my portion sizes have definately increased. I haven't been paying attention to that at all. And as for salad, I've been using TONS of croutons!!
Then the weekend comes. I either don't eat breakfast, or I go out for breakfast. I've been eating omelets and french fries and (gasp!) bacon sometimes. We've been going out for dinner and I've been eating a lot of bacon-cheeseburgers. It started innocently enough, just once in a great while, but it's become an every weekend thing. Wings, pizza, bacon cheeseburgers, french fries, etc. NOT GOOD.
So, I have put on 3-6 pounds. Granted, my clothes still fit the same, but I need to nip this in the bud before it becomes out of control.
I thought that since I didn't gain anything for MONTHS that maybe I could finally eat what I wanted to eat, even if it was just on the weekends. I was WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!!! Plus, it's been making me feel increasingly guilty.
I noticed to day that after drinking a lot of water and sticking to healthy eating, I'm more awake and I feel a lot better.
So, I just wanted to share this with you guys. I'm back!! Wish me luck!
