Weigh In: 274.8
The title sums it up. I woke up at the normal time but couldn't go to the gym this morning. I worked at 8am but because of Good Friday, I didn't get a chance to work out because the gym opened last this morning. So, I did 50 sit up and 50 push ups. Totally felt like I was blowing it off.
So, I was out of sync today. I snacked on some jelly beans today, which is out of character. Not a ton of them - but for some reason I grabbed some. I hardly ever do that anymore - I was just saying in the comments of my own blog last night that I don't get the urge to eat the crap we have laying aroudn at work - and here I go dipping into the jelly beans. Probably only about 20 of them (180 calories for 14), so it's not a killer. It's more the fact that I had them than the calories themselves.
Then we went to Max & Erma's for dinner. I had a Sante Fe salad which is one of the better options, but then I had 2 breadsticks at 210 calories each. And then I had 3 bites of Erin's spicy (fried) chicken sandwich. And a beer.
I do so well all day long usually, and then I end up having dinners that are too big. I'm not quite sure why - I geuss I could go into the whole "it's my culture, it's how I was brought up, it's just how I'm used to" eating too much thing - but the bottom line is, I need to change my mindset of dinner being a big feast. It's absolutely killing me. It's like I do SO well for 23.90 hours, and then in 10 minutes, I blow it.
So, it's all about the weekend. I'm at the exact same spot as I was this time last week. I need to figure out the whole dinner thing. I'm not sure what mentla block I have, but I have to break through. Why bother being perfect the rest of the day if I'm just going to blow it at night?

ReplyDeleteI do believe its "our culture", we have been raised and all our live made dinner a big meal. Its hard to change something we have been doing for so many years, but its defintely doable. I think going out to dinner is one of the hardest things as well, because the portion sizes are so large. Have you tried the whole ask for a carry out container and put half your meal in there before you even eat trick?
ReplyDeleteYou know this is your weakness, so now you can handle it with a plan of attack. And dont beat yourself up over the jelly beans, that was some will power only eating 20. Most people can eat a bag of those in one sitting.
you eat large dinners because you go out to eat; larger portions. I tend to eat smaller meals when at home.
