I know this might get moved to chicks in control, but I wanted more input from folks who don't usually binge, plus the ones who do.
So I had a planned "off" weekend. I do this on occassion. Then I reign it in and go back on plan.
Monday I binged a little bit. By no means did I pig out like I did on the weekend, but it was still not what I wanted to do.
Tuesday I was good. Strict, stayed on plan.
Yesterday I had another late afternoon binge. Probably didn't consume the calories of Monday, but still not good.
I've been running on the treadmill, about 3 miles every other day and doing a Jillian Michaels video in-between, with one rest day. I should be eating 1550 calories to lose. However, this week I feel like I am STARVING. And I don't get it. I'm wondering if I need to cool it on the exercise and that would make me feel less hungry, and get the binge monster at bay, or should I just up my calories by 100 or so, to compensate for the workout intensity? One thing I did that I thought would help was eliminating coffee. Right now I need to eat calories, not drink them. So I switched to plain green tea, no sweetner. Not that it kept me from being a little piggy.
I've been at this over a year, and rarely do I binge at all. So two days of falling off the wagon in three days time has put a giant red flag in my head that something is off (probably my brain )
Anyhow, thoughts guys? What do you all think?
