Weigh In Update: As I said in yesterday's post, I was up 3 pounds due to Friday's binge. Saturday proved to be an interesting day, but i sort of had a plan that should limit the damage.
Keep in mind that there are 2 goals here. 1) Health 2) Weight Loss. Today, being the day it was, had to be a day about weight loss over health. Since it was Joey's birthday, there would be limited options and strange timing on the way the whole food thing would go down. So, knowing what I knew about the day, I turned to timing over quality for the day. Let me explain:
Morning: So after last night, I was really not in the mood for food in the morning, and I also did not really feel hungry at all. Stomach was not loving me in the morning since I have not really eaten like that in awhile, so I woke up with the kids at around 7am and did not end up eating anything until 1pm and that was just a peanut butter sandwich on lite wheat bread.
Early Afternoon: So my in-laws came over for Joey's birthday. Since my birthday was last week, they came with some stuff for me too! It was pretty great - they brought me a bag of things I banned prior to my birthday- a frozen pizza, a red bull, a donut and some Reeses (not banned, but defiitely avoided!) All the packaged good could wait for another day but the donut - that had to be done immediately, so the 2nd thing I ate today was a chocolate frosted donut at 2pm. I think I had a small Reese's bunny too at some point.
Late Afternoon: Pizza was not only "on the menu" for today, but it s WAS the menu. We ordered from Cousin's in Norwood. They are ok in person but their delivery is always AWESOME. The pizza comes extremely hot and fresh. We love their toppings. We ordered plain, meatballs w/ricotta and bbq chicken. I had one of each. This was basically lunch and dinner and I knew that going in, so it was basically the plan. I saved up all my belly for this meal. As expected, the two toppings were great. The plain was meh. I mean, it was fine, but it was just ok, as usual. BUT even delivered and as my 3rd slice, it was still very warm and that's a major victory.
Evening: Birthday cake was also on the menu so I of course had a little bit of cake. Was it 2 small slices or 1 big slice? Semantics. :-) But it was delicious.
Drinks for the day: I had 2 beers, a couple glasses of scotch and a few glasses of water. Mixed it up a bit. I actually planned to have a Red Bull and Vodka - considering that is "legal" since it's Red Bull as part of an alcohol drink, not as it's own breakfast entity, but as the day went on, I just never really got around to it. This is good because I think it shows my lack of "need" for the Red Bull. I think I have broken the habit.. .. . . . again. . . . . .. The real tell will be whether I can have it once in awhile without going back to every day.
Wrap-Up: So after all is said and done, my entire food situation today was made of "meh" choices BUT I did all of my eating between 1pm and 7pm. So for those who are into the "intermittent fasting" this was a day in that life. With Sunday being my day to sleep in, I also anticipated that the next meal would be lunch on Sunday, and I was right . So thanks to no breakfast and a late weigh-in, I am officially back to where I was Friday morning before all the Friday failure took place. I just need to try to watch myself today, Super Bowl Sunday, which should be easy because we obviously not having our usual big shindig.
