Forgive Me!!!

Ok, first off, I'd like to wish anyone who is a mother a very Happy Mother's day.

Now down to business. I've been a very, very, very, bad girl! Today, I had a rather carb heavy breakfast consisting of corned beef hash, home fries, wheat toast, and scrambled eggs, topped of with a diet coke with lemon for irony.

Then, I proceeded to eat NOTHNG BUT JUNK FOOD FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY!!! I was at work, I had my usual skinny latte from Starbucks, but totally negated the "skinny" part with not one, but two packs of their shortbread cookies...that's only four cookies but it's two servings...and they are rather rich. Then I walked with my co-workers to this bakery...in Chinatown, and purchased a piece of raspberry cheesecake, which went in the refrigerator at work, because at mealtime, my friend Janine and I decide it would be a good idea to get a Baskin Robbins ice cream cake for the office for mother's day! And we each had a piece! Then for dessert...I finally at the cheesecake later on in the night.

So what am I? Insane....still dealing with my depression from my loss by eating emotionally...excuses all. The bottom line is my self control totally went out the window when I didn't plan and control every morsel that I put into my body. And I had every intention of doing so. Had a can of healthy choice soup handy in my locker, a jar of olives int he fridge...and some yogurt....even som strawberry pieces that I sliced up...and didn't eat any of it. I did drink a good amount of water.

So, time to reevaluate...and recommit. Starting Monday...not tomorrow because we're doing dinner and a movie for my mom....and the movies is just a trap for me! I can order my talapia at Ruby Tuesdays...and forgo the nachos that I love so much at the movies, but I'm going to want some popcorn with that great powder flavoring they have now! EEEK!

So, again, starting on Monday, I am putting myself on a strict recovery diet. for lack of a better word.

I pledge to:
1. Complete my required 3 cardio sessions and 2 strength training sessions as dictated by the 2008 self challenge.

2. Give up the pastries at Starbucks...hell I've even switch my Venti Skinny to a Grande.

3. Take my lunch everyday....AND ACTUALLY EAT IT AND NOT STILL ORDER OUT BECAUSE EVERYONE ELSE IS! unless its to ad a side salad.

4. Go for a walk on my mealtime.

5. Wake up at 9 sharp everyday and do my workout....running hopefully, if I can afford the gas to drive to the park.

6. Make some progress cleaing my room/house.

That's a good start. Now I'm going to email this to myself so that I can read this on my phone whenever I need to reassure myself.

Well, good luck ladies...and I hope you did better than I did this weekend.


Kia.
