Yesterday was intense, it was the day before a Dietbet weigh in & I was feeling hormonal. I worked out in the morning & felt tired but strong. I ate clean during the day and then on my way home I decided to buy dinner (instead of cooking a light meal) from a new place that had a quinoa, veggies, tofu and Jamaican Jerk stir fry (i.e. unnecessary salt) AND then I had some coffee ice cream (cute single serving container of Hagen daz with the spoon in the lid). It was in my freezer as an end of the week treat, not to be eaten the night before a weigh in!
It was a little self-sabotage creeping in under the guise of hormonal flux. I weighed after dinner and after being only a pound from goal in the morning I was now triple+ that away.
The good news is that I had already walked about 15,000 steps & I went out to add another nice long walk up the hilly streets of my neighborhood and ended up with 21,000+ total steps for the day. I did an extra intense and long stationary bike session to end the night.
I got up & weighed in this morning and was just under goal, Yay! After submitting my photos to DB, I did an intense circuit training session to rev. up the day!
So a bit of latent self-sabotage ended in a shift and some better choices! And I’m reminding myself of one of the Eat, Drink & Be Skinny mantras, that: "It's not about being perfect, it's about being better." :-)
