I was pretty sad when I weighed in at 186 this morning. That's exactly where I started on Day 1. So basically last week entirely undid my first week. What a bummer. I'm basically starting all over. But now that I'm focusing on healthier goals, hopefully I will be able to stay emotionally strong and see some lasting changes.
As hard as it was, I got up and went to the exercise class this morning. (I woke up at 2am and couldn't fall back asleep for 45 minutes, then my daughter woke up from a nightmare around 5:30 and didn't go back to sleep for a half hour or so.) And I just continued to make good choices throughout the day. For breakfast I had a play on an egg salad sandwich -- a slice of toast with 1 teaspoon of mayo, topped with a sliced hard-boiled egg. For lunch I had a wrap with chicken and avocado, and for my afternoon snack I had a bag of popcorn. For dinner I made squash spaghetti with bean "meatballs." It actually turned out really, really good. I finished up my night with an absolutely delicious and mostly healthy dessert of cinnamon honey apples and quick candied pecans. Really, most of the calories came from the apple and the pecans, so to me it doesn't count against my one sweet treat per week. I'm not 100% sure how to define what I mean by sweet treats, but I guess it would be things whose calories are mostly derived from non-nutritious sources (e.g. sugar, fat, flour).
Well, today was a success and it feels good to be back on track.
