So DH and I went up to the Adirondacks with a friend and her husband on Saturday to a camp her family owns. She and her husband and I had started this round of "dieting" at the same time (my husband can eat pizza 3 times a day everyday and somehow manage to stay lean, hmph). They weren't exactly doing SB, but they were cutting down on the carbs and fats and eating out so we are a bit on the same page in terms of food choices. However they like to "cheat" on the weekends. So we go up to camp completely prepared to eat healthy. When they were snacking on chips I opted for celery, carrots, hummus and tzatziki. While they drank beer I had ONE vodka with seltzer and drank water the rest of the time. I brought chicken and veggies for kabobs to grill and everyone loved them. It was a success.
On the way home Sunday we stopped to get breakfast. It started with the coffee. No Splenda. I really really dislike Equal and Sweet n Low and cannot do black coffee so I opted for sugar... then I ordered 2 fried eggs. And two pancakes. With bananas and chocolate chips. And maple syrup. Okay one little slip up, I can recover. When we got home I made a strawberry smoothie. Good job, Katie, getting back on track. Then I had ice cream. Who put that in the freezer??? It's okay, dinner will be better. I cooked up the leftover chicken and veggies from the night before and put them on a big bed of kale and it was delicious. I followed it up with more ice cream. And a nsa fudgsicle, 3 blow pops, 2 sugar daddies and 2 small bags of sugar babies...
I still have strawberries and blueberries in my fridge so I don't want to waste those to do a P1... but I wanted to post this day just as a way to be accountable for my very bad decision day...
. Seriously, slip ups will happen - that's a given - but what's not a given is keeping the slip going for days, weeks, etc. I don't think you need to go back on Phase 1 - just be strict Phase 1.5 or 2 or whatever Phase you were on and you should be good in a couple of days.
