Well crud.....I have to admit I haven't exercised in a couple of days and I didn't eat so wonderful yesterday. It actually makes me feel really guilty too which is so weird because I don't enjoy exercising and I do love to eat. I wish I could have the mindset to love exercising and to only eat healthy, but unfortunately that's just not me. The thing is though I do like healthy kind of foods, like most veggies and fruits and Greek Yogurt and cheese and chicken and fish, etc., but then again, I also like all the things that are bad for you too, like cookies and chocolate and ice cream and cake, etc. However, I have cut back on the latter drastically, though maybe not as much as I should, but still drastically for me anyway.
For the exercising, I don't really have an excuse for Tuesday execept I was not in a good mood after I got home from work, and really that's probably when I should have gotten on the treadmill and work off some of that steam. lol But I didn't, thinking I would work out the next day. Of course that didn't happen because I went grocery shopping after work and didn't even get home till 7:30, then had to put away the groceries and eat a frozen pizza for dinner. (Well I did bake it first.) When all was said and done, it was almost 9 by the time I sat down, and then I had 3 Lofthouse Snickerdoodles and a glass of milk. (I know, I know......but I did say I didn't eat so great, and they are really good cookies.)
And so today, as soon as I get home from work (and I have nothing to do after work but go home), I am changing into my workout clothes and then going to the basement for an hour or more. I have eaten a little better today, had a smoothie this morning, a couple of jalapeno cheesesticks and Special K cracker chips and water for lunch, and probably just a salad for dinner, to make up for the past couple of days. (I promise I'll try to stay out of the Snickerdoodles later tonight.)
I'm not even going to weigh myself till Saturday morning (mostly because I don't want to be depressed now...lol), but hopefully it won't be as bad as I fear. So keep your fingers croseed.
Don't beat yourself up over a minor setback. I do think that working out could really work to your advantage when you're stressed or need to burn off some steam. Those are actually great times to work out because you have all that excess energy to get rid of. Just hang in there, you're doing great!
