Day 15

Well, I wasn't going to blog today because I had a terrible day. I felt so guilty because I felt like I need to be the strong one of my friends and husband since I got them all into this program and here I felt like I was failing. But I decided to blog after all. Because no one is perfect and maybe I can help someone else who goes through this and has a rough day. I don't feel guilty anymore because for the past 14 days I have not cheated one time. I have drastically changed my eating, I have started to workout again and my clothes are starting to fit me. We aren't perfect and everyone is entitled to having a bad day! Today was definitely my bad day...

I was so irritable all day; like woke up grouchy. I didn’t feel good about myself, the Spark did nothing, I was annoyed at being at work..just like a terrible day. I was starving all day and seriously craving carbs. When I got home I just said forget it. I’m done, and I ate like 5-6 handfuls of tortilla chips and like 2 handfuls of Pub Mix (that stuff from Costco that’s all carbs). Afterward, I then I felt totally guilty..So for dinner I had a salad; so obviously I ate too much.

Everyone keeps telling me that I need to not focus on the weight. (It hasn't moved at all) that I really need to focus on the how I feel overall. But after a while, I really want to see that scale move! But then I had to remember, I've only been on this for 2 weeks. When you don't have much to lose, a HEALTHY diet should only be 1-2 lb a week and more importantly, I have felt so energized and getting into clothes that haven't fit me in a long time!  I think I've just done so many crazy diets where I've lost pounds in a day that I'm just used to seeing that.  So, I admit, yesterday I sort of fell off the wagon, but the important part is, that's okay.

Today was  a good reminder that we are all human and it's OKAY to have a bad day. You just have to pick yourself up and remember tomorrow is a new day and you have to try again!
