Friday I had some alcohol...and I'm talking more than one or two beers. I drank it over many hours but still...hmmm. And Saturday I had a beer. I ate a pretzel at the 5K. It was free and delicious but not part of the no white plan. I've cut out white flours, rice, and white potatoes. Yet I also ate white rice for dinner. My steamed veggies were good but everyone else had rice with their Chinese and I wanted some too.
I lost 2 pounds! Woo hoo! And yesterday I did my first 5k! (post on that coming soon)
That's the good.
Then there's the bad...
I ate white rice at dinner and a pretzel during the 5K. White rice and flour are not part of the weight loss plan! I should have just stuck with my banana for healthy carb energy. Not to mention, I ate plenty of carbs Friday and Saturday.
The ugly
I was hungry yet again when I got home...actually hungry though, not just greedy. I had no healthy options at home so I made an egg and turkey bacon sandwich...on potato bread! Which is full of artificial ingredients and packs 100 calories a slice. Not to mention I drank yet more beer (and way too many chips)....I know, I know, I said I was done. So definitely gonna improve during the week and I'm going to plan my meals for the weekend so that this doesn't happen again. All week I'm super healthy and I fall off the wagon on the weekend.
*The best part of this is that I didn't just continue eating. I ate more chips but then I cut myself off. The self-sabotage is finally becoming a thing of the past. At happy hour on Friday I had steamed veggies! And I loved it! So I know that I can choose healthier options with ease. And next happy hour I'll have water with lemon rather than a beer. It may seem extreme but alcohol has no health benefits so I'm not depriving myself. And I'm allergic to wheat so it makes me bloated and causes sinus headaches. I'm doing myself a favor here. I automatically try to choose healthier choices and sometimes I slip but I don't consider it the end of my journey and start all over. This is part of the journey. It's been a long ride but I've got the hang of it and I'm gonna keep going.
