So I’ve been doing well for the past week. I’ve been eating healthier. Watching how much I eat and not eating after 7pm. Some nights I don’t eat after 6pm. I’ve been trying to get my water in as well as some sort of exercise. I still haven’t started my dvd workout!! I’m not going to make an excuse… I just haven’t started. I’m finding it hard to do with being at home with Olivia all day. My goal for next week is to start the dvd at least 3 times. I was feeling good about myself. Trying to look pretty ( which is very hard for me) and dress up. Make-up and all! Then two days ago I woke up feeling ugly AGAIN!!!! I hated what I looked like, felt bloated, wanted to sleep all day and wished I had a pair of stretchy pants to wear. Why is it that things like this happen? Why is it when you feel like you can actually accomplish something, you get hit in the face, HARD!? So now I’m slowly trying to put myself together again. I give myself one cheat meal a week. It could be any meal and only one. I use to do a day of whatever I wanted, but that didn’t go well. I was eating everything in sight. So tonight I chose my cheat meal: Big Mac, Diet Coke, Side Salad, and some Onion rings. It was good. I almost felt guilty eating it. But I’m allowed. Food can’t be a love, hate relationship. I’ve been trying out low-fat recipes as well for my sweet tooth and let me tell you, thank God for the “Hungry Girl” cookbooks. She great recipes. Some ingredients you can only find in the States, but overall I’ve enjoyed the sweet tooth without feeling guilty. I will be posting a couple recipes in the next couple of days. Tomorrow, scones with mixed berries for breakfast. So just when it starts looking good….. I pick myself right up, learn from my mistakes and understand that my size 8 body isn’t coming back overnight.
Tip of the Week: Always have a salad or some sort of vegetable dish with your meal. I usually try to have a big salad or green beans when I have my dinner. That way my plate is mostly full of good stuff. Or if I’m having pasta I put asparagus or spinach with it. Then my plate looks fuller when in reality I’m only eating 1 cup of pasta.
