Weight: 215.6 lbs. (!)
Somehow I managed to lose weight despite my eating hedonism and testing of the limits lately. No one is more surprised by this than me! Yesterday at the metal detecting party I once again made some poor choices and ate too much, including breaded pork chops, a little mashed potatoes, some ambrosia salad, and desserts. I am still chargrined with myself that I allow previously banned items into my diet, and have not fully wrapped my head around what has changed for me that I am being more lenient with myself in this way. Those I have spoken to about it, heavy or thin, post surgery or not, all shake their heads knowingly and speak of Christmas temptations. I am hoping that it is as “simple” as this, because that implies that when the holiday is over, I will have less to contend with and a resumption of better self control. Or will I?
What an enigma that I managed to go down more than a pound given this. Plus, late last night, after returning from the party, I had handfuls of unsalted peanuts in the shell, mindful of their high calorie count, but assuming that I had blown the day anyway, so what the heck.
Go figure….
Today we are heading to the casino for our usual Monday foray, but must be good and stay only long enough to play our “free” money, and eat. I think we have a date with the buffet.
I worked out today, but not yesterday, and may add a 2nd routine in later as I am off and we don’t head out until this evening. Hopefully this will help counteract any damage I may do during dinner, and boost my energy and metabolism that much more.
Otherwise today is a low key day with typical errands, fussing and ya ya to do. I am glad for the pace to be slowing down a little, and also hope that this may reset my mentality, allow me to ponder the error of my ways, and slide back on track.
Until the end of the week when more parties, out of town guests and assorted gatherings take place….
Yikes! Tis the season…!
