Well, I have had two “bad” days in a row. The only bright spots are that I logged the excessiveness on the bodybugg site and that I didn’t go over 3000 calories a day. Still it is pretty bad since to maintain weight at my age I am supposed to eat around 2200-2500 calories a day. AARRGGHH!!!
I’m writing on the blog to help myself get back on track. What I am doing is falling into old habits. I do fine during the day when I am not at home and then I’m tired when I get home, so resort to junk. Not a good habit to let take over again.
How did I get the junk in the house, you ask. I went to the grocery store when I was hungry. Bad, bad idea! All those junk food aisles called my name and I answered. Fritos and ice cream (Ben and Jerry’s) won the contest for my soul. I just cannot believe I sold out so short, bypassing on the Lindt truffles, full-fat cheeses, and a Wendy’s #1 meal with baked potato. Shame on me!
Anyway, I’m back on track today. I will put the food log up no matter what I eat, but I’m hoping I can do a better job today.
Don’t worry – just get back up and keep going. I know you can! Getting home hungry is a terrible danger – I know the feeling. I eat twice, once whatever I can find (it does help to have healthy things on hand), the second time when the food I’ve been cooking is actually ready. Even if it’s healthy food, eating twice is no good!
