Catch-Up

Wednesday night I went to a Chinese buffet but I ordered Hibachi. So basically it was lots and lots of veggies with some chicken grilled and topped with terayaki sauce. Not the healthiest choice, but not the worst, right? Make better bad choices.

Thursday, according to the calendar was supposed to be a type of "detox" day again and Friday was supposed to be a treat day. Well for some reason, be it hormones, or whatever, I was starved yesterday. I had a green smoothie for breakfast, then tried to eat some celery and carrots. I couldn't. I was so hungry. I decided to make yesterday my treat day. Can't stick to the diet if I'm not happy and if it's not realistic. I went to Red Robin with some co-workers and had the Whiskey River BBQ Chicken Wrap. Normally I skip the fries. But yesterday..man I sinned. I even had the fries. I was SO sick afterwards. My body was NOT happy with me. Here are the stats for the wrap:

Calories 771 Sodium 2087 mg
Total Fat 32 g Potassium 0 mg
Saturated 20 g Total Carbs 67 g
Polyunsaturated 0 g Dietary Fiber 4 g
Monounsaturated 0 g Sugars 9 g
Trans 0 g Protein 49 g

Which isn't the best, isn't the worst, again. For dinner, my husband made burgers. How could I say no to burgers? I was starved again. No fries this time:) And I still stuck to water all day, but didn't drink near enough.

This morning I got on the scale and I was 1.5 pounds heavier! So today I'm flushing everything out with water. I had some cottage cheese and knaeckebrot for breakfast and some celery and peanut butter for a snack.

My biggest failure this week has not been my diet slip ups. It's been my utter lack of exercise. I haven't worked out since Saturday. So I shouldn't expect any miracles. Next week is my last official week of the 21 day belly blast challenge. Although I haven't completely stuck to it, I've been using it as a guideline. And my pants are still loose:)

Wish me luck in refueling my desire to lose weight and starting up with exercise again! No pain, no gain!
