Day Thirty-Two- Still Pushing On, But Bad Habits Trying to Creep In

Have you noticed as you are going through your weight loss journey, bad habits try to creep back in. Man, was I feeling it today. Today seemed like the willpower to watch what I eat was very, very low. I wouldn't say that I had a bad day, but it was just a normal day with and air of funk in it.

I wasn't in a bad mood, I was in a pretty good mood, but I was just there. I think what it is, is that I couldn't sleep last night and I stayed up until 2 am, then I had to jump up to get the kids off to school & head to the gym. I went to the gym, did lower body, and man was that a good workout. I felt the burn when I was on the machines. Worked up a sweat!!! And I started making friends at the gym- so it makes it more enjoyable to go to the gym and have people to talk to.

I went to work and it was nice & quiet because we don't see any patients on Thursday, so I got my huge stack of insurance filing & insurance disputes done. I needed that quiet time!!! My husband met me at the office for lunch, and he took me to CiCi's Pizza Grand Opening. I tried to steer clear of the bad choices, going to the salad and soup section of the bar first, so I don't gorge on the bad choices.

But at the salad bar, it was only of iceburg lettuce (I try to stick with dark greens- I eat more of them), and some of the salads on the bar was already covered in dressing. So, I ended up picking through the salad that I loading up on and the soup tasted mainly like salt, so it was hard to finish it. I walked through the pizzas I got 4 slices, but I ended up eating 2 because two of them tasted like it was covered in grease. I then, got to a little greedy and got some dessert. Man, after I ate it, it put me in such a funk and I started kicking myself in the butt!!!!

I had a pretty decent dinner, got the kids off to bed, and lounged on the couch, surfing the web and texting. I don't know if I was having another lapse of judgment, or just being dumb, but my evening snack choice was real dumb!!!! WHAT WAS I THINKING?????? So tomorrow, I need to really try not to beat myself up about the bad choices I made today and get back to it and eating good.
