I do have to say it makes for an excellent post-dinner desert. I'm going to give myself Christmas Eve and Christmas day to eat whatever I damn well please. Calorie counting be damned! It will be my holiday treat to myself... and then Monday I'll be in the gym working it all off and hating myself for it. lol Maybe.
I feel like I'm finally starting to learn that I don't have to guilt myself into oblivion every time I go slightly over my calorie goal, or can't make a workout. I feel like I've done pretty well in reigning myself back in and moving forward - not "starting over", mind you - just moving forward. It's just part of the lifestyle change. There will always be junk-food days, there will always be days where making it to the gym just won't be an option, but as long as I recognize the bumps for what they are (just bumps, not detours, not road closures) I will be emotionally/mentally healthier about my relationship with food and exercise. I'm really proud of that.
My stats for yesterday, 12/21:
- total calories: 1738 - I was starving around 9pm, but my friend Stacy and I made fresh popcorn (not microwave) with a little bit of butter and salt which I thought was an excellent healthy snack choice!
- no workout - was still at home with the sick kiddo and the hubby didn't make it home from work until pretty late. It's okay. This week has been a continual gym "bump".. next week will be better.
- 4 cigarettes
- went to bed just before 1am... eeesh. Long story.
- $0 spent (staying home has it's perks this week lol)
