It's A New Week....and boy do I need it!

Well, last week was full of some high's and low's.

For the high's, of course, the greatest high was that I had such a great weigh in on Tuesday.  Actually, now that I think about it, that was the only high.  It was actually a pretty crappy week.

For the low's, well to immediately follow up my awesome weigh in on Tuesday, I ended up getting stuck in a meeting for like three hours on Thursday and they served lunch (Jimmy John's).  Well, I caved and ate almost 3/4 of a sandwich and 1/2 of a cookie.  Which, of course, I should not be eating.  It was a ham sandwich, so not only was it full of sodium and carbs and FAT!, but it's an absolute waste of precious calories.

    So, that was Thursday.  Diet = FAIL!

    Friday, we had a candidate in from out of town and the VP who was supposed to take him to lunch bailed on me, so I got stuck taking the guy to lunch with another VP.  We go to this fancy restaurant and of course, I can't drink my shake and I'm STARVING, so I order a chicken sandwich.  I had every intention of just eating the chicken, but it didn't work out that way and I ate the chicken and the fries.

    But that's not the end of it.

    Friday night, I eat a whole piece of pizza.  Not a little piece either, one of those pizza delivery pieces.  It was big.  And, I indulged in my biggest sin....Cabernet.  I drank a lot of it.  There's not denying it.  Obviously, if I lie on here, I'm just lying to myself.

    So, basically, Friday diet = FAIL ROUND TWO!!!!!

    I weighed in on Saturday.  I wasn't going to, considering how horrible I had done for the previous two days, but I want to keep myself honest.  And guess what?  207.8!  So that means that in four days I gained 1.2 pounds.  Damn it!  But really, what did I expect?

    So, obviously, I need to do something about this.  Since Saturday, I've been eating clean and following my diet.  I do not plan on letting that happen again! 

    Tomorrow is my next weigh in and I'm hoping for a better number on the scale.  Although, I am a little worried because I started my . today, so of course that means bloating, water retention, etc.  But at least this time I'll  know if there is a gain, that it's not because I ate like crap.

    3. If it makes you feel any better, I've gained 8 pounds in 8 days. Not sure how that happened. Some of it may be muscle gain, since I'm sore, but there's no lying. I've been a pig lately. I hope this next week is much better for you. I love reading your blog and wish you the best.

      Had to repost due to mispelling...
