Day 1 & 2 of Post Holiday Detox

Posted by: Natasha in Training & Meal Plans, Weight loss challenges

Why is it so hard. .  Or why do our minds make it so difficult to get back on track from the holiday eating splurges? Yesterday was day one and man was it hard. I swear I wanted to eat everything in site. Is it because my mind and body was craving more sugar and salt from the weekend? Geez! This is what yesterday looked like for me:

Tuesday Day 1:

  1. Meal 1: Protein Shake and banana
  2. Meal 2: Fish and cabbage
  3. Meal 3: 5 slices of cheese and 5 crackers (what?)
  4. Meal 4: Chicken and cabbage
  5. Meal 5: protein bar, orange, cheese, 2 slices of wheat bread (what is the deal here?)
  6. Exercise: 40 minutes of cardio (step) and 10 minutes abs

I am disappointed with meal 5. What was I thinking? Was I craving carbs? Help? This is funny that I am asking for help, but I should know what to do right? I guess I just need to do it.

Wednesday Day 2:

  1. Meal 1: shake with banana (my fav!!)
  2. Meal 2: turkey sausage, cabbage, and orange
  3. Meal 3: downhill from here, 300 cal in lays potatoes crisps, 200 cal pb&j sandwich– what the h.e.1.1.!!
  4. Meal 4: I am grossed out and what I ate that I am not hungry
  5. Meal 5: will be chicken, cabbage, and almonds
  6. Exercise 30 minute of Tae Bo Amped. Done !! After that workout I feel a little better and when I return from work later tonight with energy I will workout more on the elliptical for 25 more minutes.

I just feel gross, blotted, fat and frustrated with myself today from this past weekend mistakes. So, what is a resolution from this problem? I think instead of working out mon-Thursday and giving myself the weekend off (big mistake) I will work out Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, so that I will not blow away my hard work over the weekend. I am thinking if I get back to working out on the weekend my mind will be set to eat on plan and not slip up.

Am I think only one that go through this from time to time? Maintenance is not easy at times for me too. Sometimes I just want to eat everything and not work out at all, but if I do that I will be were I started which is back at 225lbs and I will not do that because I love the way I look now and I really love the way I look and feel at 150/155 which is 5-10 below my Nurtisystem goal weight of 160. So I need to get to working and stop this pity party now. !60’s here I come and 150’s shortly after that!

    K- I wrote this long thing and lost it.. WT-?

    Summary: What’s really depressing is getting a Nutrisystem email update and having to admit I’ve no longer kept 50 lbs off! You’d think that and looking at my miserable self would be motivation enough?? You’d think my wedding & 10 yr reunion would be the clencher??!! ~Why O Why Can’t I!~ If only exercise took a few minutes and didn’t make me sweat like brushing teeth doesn’t- I’d do it daily!! hahaha… My plan is to start back Cardio this Sat and consistently after that… Stay on top of me!!!!

    I recently discovered your blog and I think you are awesome, to see another african-american woman taking control of her destiny is really inspiring. I recently started weight watchers and I am coming along. It is really hard to adjust to my new lifestyle, because that is what it is. For me it cannot be a diet it must be a life style change. I will continue to read and be inspired by you.
