Frustrated at Myself
So I was doing pretty good. Even though I indulged on Saturday when I was out with my girls (had this chocolate cake w/ ice cream) and a little dessert when I went out with another friend, I have been working out, trying to use my activity points to get under 35. What happened today? I'm not quite sure. I had this small corn muffin and a small piece of poppyseed cake during class. I thought to myself, I can burn this off today between walking and going to the gym. Then I got home, was very hungry and had the rest of friends General Tso's chicken. I tried to take some of the breading off of the chicken but I didn't realize I had about a cup's worth and it was 15 points! Dang it. Why did I not check it before I ate it. Then I ordered some Chinese food for dinner from a place that specializes in brown rice. BUT I forgot to order it with brown rice. So now I have this quart of shrimp fried rice and sushi without brown rice. I need to eat, so I ate maybe 3/4 cup of the rice and the sushi. I've been pondering this for a while...should I try to burn off as many points as I could today? Go to the gym, workout for as long as possible, lift weights, do the walk away the pounds tape. But I know it wouldn't change all of this. It can't undo what I did. Let's just go with an over-estimation of everything. I was at 32 points this morning. 4 for the pastries, 15 for the General Tso's, 8 for the shrimp fried rice and 4 for the California rolls. That takes me to 63 points. That's almost twice as many as I'm allotted for the week. If I'm going to gain weight, I'm going to gain weight. And I can't burn off that many points in a night. I'm still going to do the walk away the pounds tape. But I'm not going to burn out my body trying to lose weight before my official weigh day that is pretty much impossible to do. I'm going to drink my water quota, do my tape and some crunches. And think about how to do better next week. That's what its all about. And at least I will have something to point to if I don't lose weight this week (as opposed to working out and seeing no change). Focusing better more and more each day. And putting the rest of this rice in the fridge and taking it to my BF so he can eat it next week.
