Oops

Last night hubby and I made french bread pizza with Turkey Pepperoni on top. I thought long and hard about if I should eat one or two halves. I wanted two even though I knew that I might destroy all of the wonderful progress I made. After eating one I felt comfortable. I could have stopped there but the second one was calling me.

Part of me was still feeling happy and high from loosing my 2.5 pounds and wanted to reward myself. I figured even if I do go up some I have totally proved to myself that I can DO this. If I don't panic and stick to my reasonable eating plan I will loose the weight. Just eat the damn pizza and enjoy it.

So, that's exactly what I did. I panicked a little when I got on the scale that night. I did some crunches to try to ease the anxiety. I went to bed and hoped for the best.

I did go up by 1/2 pound but considering I lost 2.5 before loosing .5 is definitely doable. I had my little splurge and I will start again with being on track today.

There is a working lunch meeting that involves food today. I probably won't be able to eat during because I have to take notes but I will fix myself a plate with limited portions to eat afterwards. I had my usual pbj and coffee for breakfast, will forgo the rest of my work snacks to compensate. If I eat "real" food at lunch I have no desire to eat dinner so that will be easy enough. That should pretty much do it. If I'm lucky I'll go back down to 114.5 or at the very least maintain.

I am meeting a friend for a drink at 7 tonight at a bar and even if he orders some food I won't be interested in eating anything that late and will stick to wine so no real temptation there. There won't be any food temptations until Thursday and Friday later on this week so I have plenty of time to undo the damage.

From now on no matter what I will restrict. I had my one day slip but I want to continue on the path I started in the new year. I WILL be strong.
