My husband's parents came in town for a quick visit (they live in Texas) over the weekend, so we pretty much ate our way through New Orleans. We had dinner at Mid-City Pizza (obvious), lunch at Ba Chi Canteen (Vietnamese), and dinner at The Galley (seafood). I actually did NOT blow all my points while they were here, so I was pretty happy about that.
I went to T@rget Sunday evening to pick up a few groceries, and saw that they had Ben & Jerry's Peanut Butter World in stock. I've never tried it, but it sounded delicious. My weakness is anything peanut butter and chocolate, and well, this just sounded amazing:
Unfortunately, it tasted just as good as I'd hoped and I pretty much ate the whole thing. I had the points for it, so I counted it and moved on.
Yesterday had me in a funk after work, and I binged for the first time in several months--pita chips, 6 mini frosted sugar cookies, 2.5 servings of potato chips, and french onion dip. I'm 21 points in the hole for the week now, but I should be able to make up most of that in activity this week (too bad I didn't exercise yesterday or today). I was being pretty hard on myself about the whole thing, but I stopped and although I still regret it, I'm moving on from it. It happened, it's done, and I can't change that--but I can move forward.
Here's to improving the rest of the week!
Slip ups happen. I am glad you tracked everything. Also, you're going to make it up in AP. And yes, you will move forward! I might be preaching what I don't practice myself, but don't let the number on the scale matter so much. Count your progress in other ways if possible - like tracking despite the binge/funk. Sending you lots of warm thoughts...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the encouragement. I haven't actually managed to earn any APs yet, but I'm still tracking and OWNING this week's poor food decisions :)
