Okay, so this has been a bad weekend for me in the whole 'want to lose weight' arena.
My son who is one of my best friends has been gone since Wednesday.
My lover has also been gone since Wednesday.
I have felt alone, and let my depression lead me down the doughnut path.
I had been doing pretty well, until my five year old woke me up this morning with chocolate around her mouth and a big huge kiss.
I swear if she hadn't moved away so quickly I may have grabbed her up in my arms and licked her face clean!!!
What I did instead was crawl out of bed, make a big pot of delicious coffee with chicory, (Thanks My Sweet Prince, you were right, I DO love it!) and drank my first cup with two cigarettes and two Boston creme filled chocolate covered doughnuts!
I have to admit, it was almost an orgasmic experience!
BUT, and here is the BIG but....
I will not let this slip lead to more slips by beating myself up over it.
I decided to skip lunch today, I mean, I had already consumed more than enough calories, even though they weren't the right ones!
And tonight I will have a GREAT salad instead of the pork chops the kids will be having for dinner.
It will be fresh baby spinach leaves, green onions (I wish I had bought myself a sweet purple onion, I love them in salads), cherry tomatoes, purple grapes (to satisfy my sweet tooth), bell peppers, cucumbers, and avocado. I will top it off with a half a serving of a GREAT salad dressing I found. It tastes wonderful, but it has 120 calories and 7 grams of fat per serving. I am grateful that a half a serving is all I really need, if I toss the dressing well into the salad, I never miss the other half serving. (It is Briannas Home Style Blush Wine Vinaigrette if anyone is interested.)
So, I will just get back on track. And I really need to get that scale and a tape measure so I can start tracking my progress. I will make SURE I do that THIS WEEK!
Oh, I want to add, one thing I DID do was to buy myself a hula hoop. It has been so much fun, even though I suck at it. I have been working hard trying to get good at it again, and while I am having a fun time playing with my daughters, I am MOVING MY BODY!!!
That's all.

Sugar is so addictive...it definitely sends those feel-good brain chemicals soaring! But don't punish yourself by not eating! The best thing you can do after a sugar fest is stabilize your blood sugar with some protein. Pork chops along with the salad would have been fine!
