Epic fail at food choices yesterday

I think yesterday was one of those "best laid plans of mice & men" kinda days. I started the day with a conscious choice to eat a bit more carbs in the am before seeing clients - - which led to a bit more gas that I was expecting, but whatever. So I went home thinking "do protein!". Ate some pork, which led to another friggen pita (whole wheat with good stats but REALLY didn't need more wheat carbs), which led to a Sweet Freedom cone, which led to some sugar-free cookies, which led to dumping and throwing up. Surprisingly I actually did 100+ g protein, but unsurprisingly I'm up a few pounds. Not just from yesterday, but from slightly less-than-accountable food diary logs. Really? Who do I think I'm fooling when I stop measuring/weighing/logging everything that goes in my mouth? Duh. So, back to basics and looking forward to our 13 mile run today.....

Well it sounds like you have a good sense of humor about your day yesterday and learned from your "fun". I think that this is the time in your (our) journey that is the crossroad of the transition to maintenance. It is more important now than ever to plan and log, but you have already figured that out!

Enjoy your run!!

At least you caught yourself right away and are making better choices now. Good for you!

Maybe there was something about the phase of the moon yesterday.  A friend of mine called me last night to talk her out of a THIRD (small) piece of cheesecake after she had already had shrimp Alfredo pasta for dinner, and I ended up having half a muffin (planned), three crunchy, 2-inch sourdough pretzels (I only intended to eat one) while I watched a ball game, pizza for dinner (limited crust, but with pepperoni and extra cheese so it was high fat), and three Thin Mints.  I see lots of Greek yogurt on today's menu, LOL.

It's great that you can recognize the failure from yesterday without being overly harsh with yourself but then also doing what you know you need to do to keep yourself successful.  I am sure today will be far more successful, especially if you are running!

I believe many of us can relate to those type of days. I'm having to decarb myself and plan my eats. I've been giving myself too much freedom and not enough planning. I just got back from the grocery store and have foods ready for the next 3-4 days.
