I had a great week. I was making good choices and passing up things like chocolate cake, chocolate chip cookies, and orange scones. So when I weighed in and gained over a pound, I was shocked. I so didn't expect that. I've been going over the week and I cannot figure out where I went wrong. If I had stayed the same, I would be less discouraged than I am now.
I thought about drowning my discouragement in a couple of chocolate frosted donuts, but that would require putting on make-up and leaving the house. I wasn't up to that, so as I ate my apple and vanilla yogurt, I came to the conclusion that now is the time to add exercise. Heavy sigh.
We decided to go out to dinner and I still wanted to drown my sorrows in something bad. A cheeseburger and fries was really appealing. As much as I wanted that, I knew that it wasn't only bad for me but it would send my blood sugar through the roof. We ended up deciding on seafood. I had hushpuppies, lightly breaded rockfish and a salad. Still not the best for me but certainly not the worst. And I came home feeling good that I compromised and didn't give in to a binge.
I will continue this new week making healthy choices, adding exercise and see what happens.
Have a great weekend!

Frustrating when we are surprised by the "scale", but yay for not giving in to your food cravings!! That's a great step in the right direction. :-)
Start slow with your exercise, it will be hard at first but it will get easier over time. I hope you have a great week!
