Holiday Eating
I was just trusted to make cookies. I'm in the process of doing this "clean eating" and I was trusted alone with cookie dough. I ate two, and cooked the rest. I'm not proud, and I hate how easily it was for me to go, "okay, just these two". Seriously, I'm doing well otherwise though. I know I set today aside as a small cheat day. I'll still watch, but I know today will be the hardest for me of all the days this week. I didn't have to start so poorly all ready though, did I?
I thought of my trainer the other night as I grabbed two Maalox Max tablets. I've been doing well, and I had a cheat day, which I'm allowed, but boy it didn't feel good. She told me I'd feel like crap, and I did.
I'm going to switch from 3 days on/1 day off in January. I'll be pressing myself to 5 days clean/2 days off. (Wed: out to dinner, and Saturday will be my cheat day). I'm inching my way to 6/1, but because I just started, I'm afraid to jump in with both feet.
Today I know to avoid the au gratin potatoes and stick with the vegetables. I know to avoid certain foods all together. I know to bring my own drinks along so I have something I enjoy. I'm learning a big piece of this is planning ahead. It's only been a week, but I'm in the mindset to really give it my all. I'll probably need the Maalox tonight. :( I'm going to try to avoid the bad stuff. It's going to be hard.
