It’s been a quiet day for me and for that I’m very thankful. I spent the day with my mom and true to form, whenever I go home I go to sleep…LOL. There’s nothing like the comfort of being with your mama .
As for how my day “measured up” to staying on track with my eating….well, not so good. Here’s the thing, I didn’t have a lot to eat. Each year I make a conscious decision not to eat like it’s the last supper, and this year was no different. The problem is that what I did eat was both high in calories and fat…yikes! I think it was the 7-up cake that was my downfall, but you know what, I don’t regret it and I enjoyed myself thoroughly! I am however glad that tomorrow is a clean slate and an opportunity to get back on track. What I know for sure is that one day is not going to kill me.
The good news is that I have been consciously eating within my caloric budget for the last 2 weeks and the scale is moving in the right direction :-). Each day it’s been nice to see MyFitnessPal tell me that I successfully tracked my eating for the day AND that I was under my calorie goal. Although my tracker was not able to say that today, I’m okay with it. Not only that but I’m proud of myself for not letting mom send me home with bags and bags of food. The only food I brought home was frozen chicken and a raw sweet potato, which I will cook next week and work them both into my eating plan. That one decision will make the world of difference when I go to weigh in this week and for that I am thankful!!
