Yesterday was superbowl sunday and I made a few exceptions.... I had 2 slices of bread(sooo good) with dinner and a big slice of chocolate silk pie for dessert. I dont feel bad or a bit of remorse because I had planned ahead for it. I walked on the
treadmill for 1 hour, lifted
weights for 17 min and had a small salad for lunch. After my big dinner and dessert I walked another 30 min on the
treadmill. Today is going to be awesome as well.
Treadmill, salad for lunch, homemade chicken soup for dinner and hopefully another 30 min
treadmill after. The scale says 339.8 as of this morning so I am down 28 lbs since starting, YAY!!! My motivation is high and I will only accept success, I will do this, there is no turning back........forward to a better life!
Thought for today: Making exceptions.....
I have been hampered in many previous diets because of my defeatest attitude. When I would slip up and eat things that i shouldn't, I would be depressed saying "I ruined my
diet", I would beat myself up mentally over it and think that I destroyed all the progress that I made and just continue eating unhealthy throwing my program out the door. Well now I know better, once and a while I will make exceptions, however it will be planned and I will compensate for it with eating lighter on other meals and adding a little exercise. There will be no feeling bad! My program is still there, the progress that I made is still there and I am happier knowing I can have some of the foods I love(that are not so healthy for me). Making exceptions does not have to be a bad thing, in fact it is a good thing. As someone else said in the forums "just because you dropped one egg on the floor doesnt mean the rest of the dozen is bad". You clean it up and keep going!
