Over-indulging

Last WI: 216.8/At Home WI: 217.6

TUESDAY

As you can see by this morning's scale reading - I went overboard yesterday. I knew I was going to and I really did nothing to stop or prevent it. Let's start with Sunday - my last "good" day. After the gym, I didn't leave the house. Erik went into work for a bit and I read/napped. When he got home we watched the netflix movies we had and ordered Chinese in. I was "ok" in that I order chicken chow mien - which is good - but also had two egg rolls - which is bad. All in all though it was still a very good day and I came in under points. I was rewarded yesterday with a scale reading of 215.8 - lowest yet.

Then yesterday came. Every year my best friend Holly and I have a party on labor day. The last few years, it's also coincided with the first FSU game. So this year we planned for a 2:00 start with drinks, snacks, and some craps. We then started a poker tournament at 7:00 and the football game started at 8:00. I was doing ok until the football came kicked off. I had been drinking some, but mixed in some non-alcoholic drinks as well. I wanted to see the game. Then the game came on....and we did HORRIBLY. I mean bad. And Holly started delivering jagger-bombs to me and others - I think to help dull the pain of my team playing so badly.

Ultimately I had to ask Erik the final score this morning. I knew we lost cause I had no memory of being happy at the end of the night, but I didn't know how bad. Turns out we sort of rallied in the second half and brought the score within 6 but couldn't close it out. We lost 24 to 18. :-(

So - I did end up doing well in the poker tournament at least. But, I drank too much - munched on snacks too much - and feel like crap today for it. Why do I DO this to myself?

So I'm at work, trying to wrap up the day. It's been rough. The day has DRAGGED by and I totally came in late. Erik called a while ago too and said he wants to go to the gym with me again tonight. Which is actually really a good thing because I need to go and feeling like I do would likely come up with a justification for not going. Having him want to go commits me to going. I need to. I'm scheduled to do 3 miles today and I really need to keep up the schedule if I want to lose this week.

I desperately hope that the scale gets back under 216 tomorrow. I was so happy to see the 215's - I'd hate to have ruined it all. Now I know I didn't gain 2lbs in one day, but I need to recover quickly as Thursday's approachin.

Today I've had a huge publix sub for lunch. I had bought it yesterday on the way to the party with the idea that I would eat that instead of junk food, but it didn't work. So I missed breakfast today and had it for lunch. I was more than I should have had though - it was a whole sub and at publix those are huge. I'm counting it at 18pts which is a LOT. I also just had a peach to try to get some fruit in for the day. Shortly I'll be leaving to head home and meet Erik for the gym. Dinner tonight will be something very light and I will desperately try not to eat any of the APs I earn.

Just in a foul mood today. I hate FSU losing the first game of the season. Booo! Grrrr. Grump grump.
