This morning I was curious on my weight. The result was NOT good. Up 4 pounds from my weekend weigh in, and my weekend weigh in was up .5 pounds from last week. The past couple weeks, I haven’t been as diligent on portion sizes, and eating some crap food. I have, mostly been under my calories, but fueling with trash, you get garbage. Plus, I haven’t been drinking enough water. This isn’t good. Slowly the eating habits have been getting worse, and that is a slippery slope to be on. This slope ends here and I need to get going again, up this slope to a skinnier me.
This I guess leads to another excuse to add to my list. Because I’ve lost my way on the diet road I want to review again.
Ø Major Excuse #1 -I have no time to exercise. It seems I’ve gone the other way and getting more active but using that as the excuse to eat more bad food.
Ø Major Excuse #2 -I lost track of time. In other words Procrastinating. This ties into yesterday's excuse of NO time to exercise. But I had full intentions of exercising, but ended up not because I got engrossed in non essential tasks. Relatively been better with this, but it still happens occasionally.
Ø Major Excuse #3 – Lack of Motivation Baby appointments sooner than later are helping with this, but lack of progress (due to bad habits creeping in again,) are hindering things. Vicious cycle again.
Ø Major Excuse #4 – Food Weaknesses (I still haven’t opened my box of girl guide cookies.) I still haven’t opened them, but have bought Oreos instead. Not a good replacement. For a while the cookie monster was getting the best of me. Getting better, but bad habits are/were sneaking in again.
Ø Major Excuse #5 - No time to cook healthy meals Getting better, but the eating out or take out fast food sneaks in here and there.
Ø Major Excuse #6. Giving in to peer pressure for food Other than walking away from some Tim Horton’s doughnuts in the lunch room recently, I haven’t had major peer pressure. Or maybe I’m giving in without even thinking (but also logging). Eating too many treats lately, so I guess I do need to get a handle on this one.
Ø Major Excuse #7 – I’ve been bad today once I haven’t really been totally off the handlebars all day in a long time.
Ø New Major Excuse #8 I am being very active with life, so I don’t need to be as careful. WRONG this is when I need to be even more careful. Refuel yes, but refuel with whole foods, not crap, and I still need to measure. We now have a kitchen scale; therefore I need to use it a LOT more.
Today is a new day and I’m regaining focus hopefully. Dinner is a pasta dinner, so I will weigh my pasta before putting it on my plate. The sauce is a lean beef, marinara sauce, home made by my MIL. The cheese on top needs to be weighed as well, that is a sneaky calorie food.
