After a vacation filled with tons of great food that I indulged in, I decided that I must realize a balance in my eating. New week, new plan. I packed my food this week with leftovers. My lunches were packed in the same sized bowl daily, which was enough for me. I am an overeater, and I came to the conclusion that it is okay to be a little hungry. My body doesn't have to feel uncomfortably stuffed to be satisfied. And while I am still at the stage of thinking about the next meal, I am trying to control myself.
Tonight, I took the kids to Qdoba. I had my regular Naked Chicken Burrito Bowl with no sour cream or cheese, with salsa and a bit of quacamole. Hey, avocados are a necessity. I did steal the babies chips, but no overload. And then I took the kids to the local bakery for a cookie each. The above was my cookie. It was a mocha chocolate dip on one side cookie. It was yummy. And I don't regret it. Why? Because that regret is what makes me feel extremely awful and destroys the next time. And while I could have done without it, I didn't go overboard like usual.
I've been running or spinning all week. Even with hip pain. I've been working on my abs to strengthen my core. I also have been doing my pushups: 3 sets of 15. While it is brutal getting up at 4:50 am, I got up. I got them done. I will get up tomorrow at 6 a.m. and hope all sleep in. I want to do 60 minutes of spinning before all the kids wake up. It would be nice to sleep in on a Saturday, but my goals don't allow for that luxury.
I weighed in this morning at 205.5 lbs. About 3.5 lbs down from last week when I was at 209 from vacation. I have a goal of losing a total of 18 lbs by the October 30th 5K that I hope to run. I would be 21 lbs lighter than last year when I ran at 212 lbs. I am sure that running at 191 would make for a much faster runner.
Do you allow yourself a treat or are you a complete restricter?
