Day 31
I am still at 201.5. Last Sunday when I went to the theatre to see one nephew with his older brother I decided to get some food from the buffet but only got a chicken breast (baked) and some carrots. That was to be my “lean and green” meal for the day. Since my nephew has not been home for a year I thought I would take him out for a glass of wine after the play. One glass led to 4 and then to something to eat. We didn’t order unhealthy stuff but after all that wine, well, I didn’t need hummus, pita and stuffed grape leaves. I drank a lot of water as well and more when I got home.
Around 1 AM I woke up with an awful stomach ache and a panic attack. It was a totally miserable night for me with my stomach rebelling and my nerves rattled. The reason I eat a small meal daily is so I will be able to go on vacation with a girlfriend two weeks from now. I don’t want to be a drag and only eat powdered drinks and ruin the time for her. I had been going several days on shakes alone, however, and the return to food full bore was a big mistake. And I knew this could happen! Why do we do such things to ourselves? I guess it was better to learn this at home than in LA with my friend. so I am being consistent with having a small meal daily so I can do so on vacation.
The day after the food fiasco my weight shot up to 206. I’ve battled all week to get it down to 201.5 again. I weighed in the middle of the night (I know, bad idea) and it was 201 but this morning the “.5″ was back again. I have until Wednesday to post a loss for this week or that one day cost me an entire diet week. Dieting is not for the weak.
On the positive side I did finally buy a beach bike and have been riding that some. It hurts my back end so it will take time to get used to it. I’ve ridden about 4 miles each time. I’d like to get up to 10. All things in time. I am doing well with the walking and swimming too so I am Sure I will be down a couple of pounds by Wednesday!
