I let my guard down....

Really? So what happened? One word life. For the last 4 days I’ve been temporary depressed. Why because I am missing my best friend Lesley like crazy . She is my support system and I am so mad at myself because I missed her phone call last night! :( I really wanted to talk to her.

 

Anyway this past weekend I did some grazing but I did choose healthier alternatives tho seriously I did! For example I love flaming hot Cheetos so I brought me flaming hot puff corn instead 42 pieces is 150 calories not bad right.

 

Then Sunday came a.k.a my trigger day I did better preparing this time I walked 4 miles Sunday morning and I worked out gain on my Wii fit I burn 565 calories total. Just in case I decided to drink a whole bottle of wine again. (Which I didn’t) However I did do a lot of grazing.

 

So why did I graze? I am an emotional eater and I deal with things differently than other people. Yesterday was a close friend birthday he would have been 25. He died 3 years ago due to an overdose. Sunday and Monday was really hard for me but I handle it okay. I didn’t go overbroad but I did let my guard down.

 

Okay I got that out of my system and I refuse to end this post on a negative note!

 

On the bright side yesterday was on 2 month bandiversary! So how do I feel amazing! I text my accountability buddy and I told him that I was upset that I gain 4 ounces since my last weigh in. He started laughing at me and told me it’s better than gaining 40 ounces. He is right tho and I know what I need to do differently but I am going to wait until next Thursday and discuss it with my nutritionist and my surgeon.

I got my guard back up and I am moving forward. I am have play date with my 17 month old nephew tonight. Hopefully it will stop raining so we can go play outside.

 

Thanks for reading.

Happy Bandiversary!

I also wanted to say how sorry i am for your loss. that is such a hard thing to deal with, and they say time makes it easier but i'm not so sure. the good news is it seems you were very self aware of the connections between your mood and your behaviors, and that's great.

have fun with the nephew!
