UGH!

18Mar08

This is why I don’t keep snacks in the house.

Sometimes I’ll go to the grocery store and think “Yeah. You KNOW you can’t handle having that in the house, so don’t even put it in your cart.” Then there are times when I think “Okay. You can do this. Go ahead and buy it.” But I’m fooling myself. Unfortunately I am not able to bring certain snacks into my kitchen because I simply do not know how to only have one portion at a time.

I portioned out a serving of these low fat cheese crunchy thingies I got from Trader Joes… sat down and ate them… (credit moi)… then went back, got the rest of the bag and ate it all. ARGH!

I could give myself credit for sitting down while eating them, but I won’t even go there. I just felt like eating them. I CHOSE to eat them I guess. It wasn’t the RIGHT choice though, and I did feel bad about it… strengthening my giving in muscle and all that.

I told myself no eating after 8pm this week, but my evening took a little detour from what I thought it was gonna be. At the last minute L came over and instead of cooking and eating at around 7pm, I was talking to him and we were watching TV and what not, and by the time he left it was after 9. I almost didn’t eat, but I had made this chicken masala dish I wanted to try, so I ate late. I should have stopped there since it WAS so late, but I wanted to use my activity points for the cheese crunchy thingies. I had no intention on eating the entire rest of the bag. Once again, that out of control feeling took over and the next thing I knew the crunchies were gone.

I’m a little disappointed in myself, I was doing so well, but I made sure I didn’t beat myself up over it. It was only one meal, and I’m sure it won’t affect my weight or weight loss for this week very much. Unfortunately I made a conscious choice to eat unplanned food, but have decided not to let it derail me and will get right back on track.

I worked out this morning, and am now eagerly waiting for my P90X from QVC that the UPS website says is out for delivery.

I did IMAX 2 this morning and instead of using the step with the two risers I used just the step, no risers. Between my shoulder/arm and my tricky knee that was a little sore yesterday I thought I would play it on the safe side. The last time I tried IMAX 2 with the two risers I fell doing the straddle taps in one of the intervals. I didn’t want to risk it.
