retribution

Posted by: getupnow In: General

Sheesh, am I paying for yesterdays foodfest or WHAT?! It continued after my post yesterday, munching right up until bedtime. It was like I was determined for the whole day to be a bust. So I went to bed with my stomach actually hurting. And I woke up today with my stomach feeling sort of just soured like and gross. Way to go, me.  :roll:

So my run this morning - four miles in 43:36. Then I walked a mile. So not bad, actually. After I realized that my time wasn’t too bad, I really wished (again) that I hadn’t had my little foodfest yesterday because I hate knowing that my good run today didn’t even make a dent in the damage I did yesterday.

Breakfast was the norm. Lunch was the norm, except I went back to my 1T of peanut butter instead of 2T. Will probably do that all week to save 100 or so calories a day since yesterday was so very, very bad. Dinner was peanut noodles since hubby is not home (he doesn’t like those! WTH?!). Had some salad. Just a simple lettuce, tomato and mushroom salad with light caesar. Had some pumpkin too. We bought a huge hunking pumpkin yesterday and my mom cooked the rest of it today. I am letting her make it and trying not to have a meltdown. She puts butter in it. But not that much, so it couldn’t be that bad. Anyway, I need to keep my calories low today. And I need to reflect upon yesterday and find a better way to deal with my urges to overeat like that. They are not often these days, but I don’t EVER need to take it to the extent that I did yesterday. Calories are at 1,171 but I had to estimate the pumpkin since I don’t know how much butter was in my one cup of it. On one hand, I feel like I should eat more since I plan on running tomorrow morning. On the other hand, I think my system is probably still overloaded from yesterday. So I think I will just suck it up and go to bed early, leaving my calories nice and low. Paying my dues. Servin’ my time.

Hey well yesterday’s foodfest seems to have awakened a new level of GUILT which is making you more focused and determined to make up for it, right? So in the end it’s all good? Right?

Hey, I’m the queen of guilt. Got that emotion all sewn up. =D

Good job on the five miles!!!!!!

I feel your pain, sister. I’ve been there so many times. And I will probably be there again. In fact, I can feel it coming. I’m trying to hold off, but it’sacoming.

But you had one day, you got back on track and moved on. That’s the key. You didn’t let it stop you or derail efforts. Good for you!!
