Yesterday I didn't do as well with my eating as I'd planned. The beans I had for lunch had way too much salt, and last night I ate a whole rotisserie cooked chicken breast (no skin). I didn't have enough vegetables or water. This morning I weighed 2lbs higher than yesterday. I'm hoping most of that was water weight.
I have a couple of choices...I can beat myself up and then give up with making healthy choices, because I screwed up and what difference does it make anyway? I might as well eat what I want since I can't do this long-term.
Orrrrr....I can look at yesterday as a small stumble on this journey. I didn't fall, I didn't overeat, I didn't mess everything up. I can regroup and plan for days like yesterday.
So, what am I doing? Today's food isn't as salty, and I'll be sure to have lots of vegetables and drink lots of iced tea. (I don't make a strong iced tea. 3 teabags to 1 gallon of water makes for a very light and delicate drink with very little caffeine).
Keeping the journey in mind!

ReplyDeleteYou didn't eat enough food in the day to gain two pounds so It has to be water.
ReplyDeleteWe will, Sunny :)
ReplyDeleteVery true, Amy. I was thinking more about the fat content, but it's most likely water weight from too much salt. Drat the stuff! I love it, but it's not helping me :P
