Monday Weigh-In

I swear I'm not copying Mallory, but I did really well this weekend until last night. Then I had a ton of processed cheese and chips and guacamole. My sodium was so high that I didn't even bother to track most of what I ate after it reach 3000. That's bad. I did drink a lot of water yesterday, but I was up 1.2 from Friday. So my offical weight today is 173. The whole time I was scarfing stuff down last night I kept thinking, "I'm going to be sooo mad at myself in the morning." Yet I kept shoveling it in. And sure enough, I was rather irritated at myself.

So, here's the thing: this coming Saturday I'm going to be seeing some family friends that I grew up with that I haven't see in several years (like 5 or 6) and I really wanted to feel good about myself. My motivation is similar to our high school reunion time. So, I have basically five days to try and mitigate the situation. Here's my plan for the next five days:

Drink 4 bottles of water everyday

track calories, keep it right between 1000 and 1100 - just for these five days, then I'll go back to my regular livestrong goal, which is 1290.

work out at least 4 of the 5 days

use my positive affirmations - I really think they help.

  1. I went back and attempted to guess what I ate yesterday. Using my best guessing, calories were about 2500, which isn't as high as I thought, but my sodium was 6000mg and my fat was 128g. That's really really bad - and eye opening.

  2. Ok, today went really well! I worked out, I've had 3 bottles of water, and my net calories are under 1000. Tomorrow morning I'm going to take the 10:30 chisel class at the gym. I'm a little scared, but it should be good.
