Hello everyone!
Today was not nearly as good as yesterday. More on my feelings after I share what went down.
Breakfast:
Maple and Brown Sugar oatmeal (2 packets) 320 cals
Lunch:
1 cup of pinto beans with a little sea salt 120 cals
Dinner: (where it all went haywire)
1 bean burrito from Taco Bell 370 cals
4 crunchy tacos from Taco Bell 680 cals
2 pieces of fried chicken 470 cals
Dessert: (like I needed it?)
1/4 small jar of Nutella 500 cals
Total calories eaten- 2.460.
Dinner just went haywire. Honestly I do not know what was going through my head. Initially, yes, I was hungry. Taco Bell fixed that. The chicken and the Nutella? Not so much. I think this was done out of stress and distraction because I was also working on some homework and really wasn't considering what I was eating. When I finished was when I was like... Oh shit.
Also the only workout that got done yesterday was a 30 minute walk.
Now here's the part where I go into a spiraling pity party about how I am going to "start all over".
Just kidding!
Ok, so I messed up yesterday. Today is a new day, and already at the time of this posting I have made good choices, so I am off on the right foot.
As for starting over with Metamorphosis, I remembered something that Tracy posted online a while back when it came to missed days.
Miss less than a week- pick up where you left off.
Miss over a week- restart the level of meta.
Miss over a month- start over fresh.
So, the moral of the story is I had a slip up, today is a new day, and there is no reason why my workout and better eating should not happen today. The end.
Wow. That is a huge change from my usual thinking. It was actually very hard to type that, even though I KNOW it to be true. Felt good but uncomfortable to get it into words.
Well, anyway. Today should go much better and I hope to post about how well I did!
Don't beat yourself up, Roxy...we ALL have days like that. I had a sprint of 3 bad eating days and gained 9 pounds last week. UGH. I hate starting over, but we just have to stay positive and keep going! xxoo
ReplyDeleteYeah I have a really BAD all-or-nothing complex when it comes to weight loss (which is probably why I am still obese and keep failing) but this time around I am really working hard to forgive myself. Sounds like an easy thing that anyone would do, but for some people (perfectionists like me) it's like pulling teeth!
