Starting Again

Oct 17, 2012

Not exactly starting again but I always seem to fall back when I see myself make a bit of progress.  Yesterday I weighed in and had documented an 8lb loss since my doctor's appointment on the 10/11/12.  In my silly head that gives me the thumbs up to go ahead and have a few extra snacks.  This morning just for giggles I stepped on the scale and it wasn't funny. Up 3lbs... I think that's what it was.  I know that it was probably just water retention from the chips (flax seed veggie tortilla and a few goldfish). I also allowed myself a couple of protein bars @ 230cal a piece. There are certain things that I just shouldn't allow myself to have in the house and those protein bars are one of them.  Nuts are another and I KNOW THIS!!! I didn't have any nuts yesterday or today I'm just making a statement.  I looked at the nut section at Trader Joes and thought for a second about getting a bag of sunflower seeds and then I just shook it right out of my head.  They are a stumbling block for me so I didn't buy them.  Today I started out with the last 2 protein bars and I had a hot chocolate protein drink at lunch.  I didn't have anything else until 3:30pm and I ate 2 rolo's and 2 lifesavers.  I didn't have my blender bottles for the shake so I blew today too.  Tomorrow I'm bringing back my blender bottle. I have to be good for the rest of this week... Saturday is my splurge day as Kim is making Thanksgiving dinner since I won't be able to eat next month. I'm going to eat on Saturday.  I'm making it my last meal... and it's going to be delicious!!!  Maybe I'll try and make popovers Saturday morning.  I have flour and milk and eggs. I think that's all I need.

I felt guilty for not including my slips in my blog earlier.  I have to own up to my downfalls just as much as I celebrate my progress.  As my mom used to tell me.... the only one I'm cheating is myself.  I remember that from the summer of 78?  I'm pretty sure it was 78 or 79.  Anyway... I just have to remember that sugar makes me want more sugar.  Protein doesn't make me want more protein.  Protein is my friend and sugar is NOT!!!
