Rough Sunday…Fresh Monday :-)
Posted by Lois Anne on February 18th, 2008
I can’t believe I haven’t written anything since Wednesday! I sit down at the computer and I spend so much time reading other people’s blogs that I don’t have much time left to add to my own. I did update my stats on Thursday to show that I lost another pound (9 gone now!), but I didn’t write a post to mention it in.
We had a nice Valentine’s Day dinner out. I did really well points-wise… until Sunday. Sunday I went to visit my mom, and I didn’t even count my points. I didn’t go too crazy at dinner, but I knew when I left there that I shouldn’t eat anything but 0 point veggies the rest of the day. Sadly, that didn’t happen. When I got home I ate nothing that was good for me. I polished off my Valentines chocolate, had some Hershey nuggets, ate a few bites of the heart-shaped cheesecake I gave my hubby Valentine’s Day, and I still wanted more! I knew I had to stop, and the only way was to GET OUT OF THE KITCHEN. So I went upstairs to the computer to read more blogs. Once I got going I lost all track of time - and I forgot all about that binge I was in the middle of. If only I’d gotten out sooner. *sigh*
Today I started with a clean slate. My flexpoints start over on Mondays anyway, so I figured that was the sensible thing to do. There was a time when I would have beaten myself up about a bad day and tried to deduct the points I was over from this week’s flexpoints. But that never really worked out - I would always end up just starting fresh instead of continuing to punish myself. So this time I’m just starting fresh and skipping the whole punishing thing.
