You know those days when you feel gloomy, tired and lazy? Those days when you dwell on what you haven't accomplished rather than what you have? Those days when you feel like eating everything in sight? Those days that you do EAT EVERYTHING IN SIGHT?! Well I've had TWO of THOSE days. TWO.
I watched Biggest Loser on Tuesday night and despite everything the contestants put into their week, none of them lost enough weight to reflect all of their hard work. How disappointing for each one of them.
I got on the scale Wednesday morning for my Weigh Day Wednesday only to see the same exact numbers (157.2) I saw the week before. Not an ounce was lost. Despite the 9.3 mile walk/run race on Sunday... despite the extra miles put in during the week... despite the fact that I was nearly perfect on my eating plan... I lost nothing. Zero. Zip. Nada. How disappointing...
Since yesterday morning I have been eating my way through the kitchen, the pantry, and even went through a drive through (GASP!!!!) for a fruit smoothy! I stayed away from the meat and dairy but WHEAT... I had my share (and your share, and your share, and YOUR share too!) The sugar is what I was really after and wow, I have certainly paid the price. I went to bed with an awful stomach ache but yet I got up and did it again. Now I feel sick, tired, lazy, drained, bloated, ugly, fat and so much more. How disappointing...
I am not on friendly terms with that scale unless I'm losing but I really need to stay strong and just roll - no pun intended! - with the ups and downs. They are unavoidable. And in this case... I needed to just be happy I didn't gain instead of being so disappointed that I didn't lose. But I was... disappointed... and it really bothered me... to the point of binge eating (such an ugly picture, isn't it?). Clearly I
... And just like that, an abrupt end came to my sniveling, whining post above. Something much more important and much more disappointing than my stupid numbers on the scale demanded my immediate attention. There is nothing like a slap of reality to put things back into perspective.
Whining has come to an end.
Just like you said to me (and thank you for that, I needed it) we all have days like these. I pretty much had 3 in a row this past weekend. But today is a new day, and let's get back on the wagon. :)
