Day 1 down…..again
10 11 2007What a roller coaster the past few weeks have been! After reading Steph’s (Where the Heck is Barbie) post yesterday, I realized that what I am going through is normal, and the best thing to do is to press on.
So I haven’t been honest. I put my blog up at 7pm and proceed to healthily eat myself into oblivion for the rest of the evening. My workouts are not counteracting the caloric intake, and therein lies my problem…..instagain. I read a ton of triathlon blogs on a daily basis, and they always joke that they can eat cakes, cookies, and other naughty treats because they deserve them! But man, it’s so hard to turn it all off when you don’t deserve them.
But yesterday, I had my first, honest to goodness, TRULY on PROGRAM day in more time than you could imagine! I was honest about my points, I didn’t dig into flex, and I had my husband forcefully grabbing food out of my hands during a late night craving. He made me brush my teeth and stood there while I did it. Granted, I begged him for help, but it was pretty darn funny in retrospect. If it weren’t for him, I don’t know if I would have made it??
With that, behold my wonderfully brilliant on program day. I lost a pound! (I know, one day doesnt’ do anything, but I need a bone here and the scale threw me one)
| Food | Points | Points Remaining (out of 22) |
|---|---|---|
| Coffeemate with coffee | 3 | 19 |
| Apple cinnamon oatmeal with light string cheese | 3 | 16 |
| Chicken breast, quinoa, and spaghetti squash | 7 | 9 |
| Banana (yes, I am doing this right! Go me!) | 2 | 7 |
| English muffin pizza…..1 Light English muffin, 2 Tbsp pizza sauce, 1/4 cup light cheese, 5 turkey pepperoni | 4 | 3 |
| 1 Popsicle (TJ’s Fruit Flo) | 2 | 1 |
Oh, and the big news? I have signed up for my first Half Ironman!!! Barb’s Race, in August. (I intend to eat cake in August)
YAY for staying OP all day, even if you did have a food watcher LOL. Sounds like you did great. Oh and just an FYI, the lime Fruit Floes are only 1 point :). I have not idea why all the others are 2 but the lime are only 1.
Swizzle– I would love to say I had lime, but I can’t handle the tartness (my tongue is shot for a week after a Lime Fruit Flo!) so I get the Caribbean ones. Mmmm…..
