Guilty!

Over the last few days I have cheated a couple times. Twice I've had a pizza, and half at that. They were mediums and at just under 200 calories a slice I downed 4 once and 5 another! The guilt of the situation has kept me from blogging so far.

Yesterday was my sisters birthday. A situation that could have been really bad was just kind of bad. For lunch they had a pot roast. I ate the roast, but skipped on the potatoes. I did have a very small piece of cakes, as well as one tablespoon of my favorite ice cream. (I tried so hard to resist, but oh it was good) Dinner things got really bad. I had two potato skins and a salad. Then I had four bites of Greggs Cake. I would be upset about that, but seriously who can resist Greggs cake.

All in all I consider yesterday as a big victory for me. Sure I cheated and ate things I shouldn't, but I was able to moderate my portions to be just a taste or two. I know I could have done better, but I think I'm satisfied with how things went. A few weeks ago I couldn't have even fathomed having that much self control. Also, despite falling a couple of times, I picked myself back up and hung in there.


The exercise front is a whole other story. I'm doing a couple of strength training exercises throughout the day, but cardio has been non-existent. First off, a friend is borrowing our xbox. That makes DDR a no go. Secondly, the sun sets to early for me to run at night and I've never felt safe running in the morning. I am also slightly discouraged.

Several of my friends have picked up running as a hobby. I am a very competitive person and know my fat butt will be playing chase up for a long time if I even try to compete. I have to focus on me and stop using other people to gauge my sucess in life, but that's always been a struggle for me.

March 8th is daylight savings time. I have promised myself no matter how awful the weather I will run every other day. Gwen and I will do more 5K's this year. Yay for being committed with early registration. This time I won't sprain my ankle and I won't finish in 40 minutes. That was unacceptable. I would like to aim for a time around 30 minutes :)

Even with all my bad cheating I'm down 13 pounds over all. Sure I didn't lose nearly as much this week, but let's be honest I didn't eat well at all. I hope to get to the grocery store so I can buy some whole wheat pizza crust. Also I checked my blood sugar and an hour after eating my sugar was 104. W00t! No where near being a diabetic.
