Started off really good today. I walked my 4 miles and really pushed myself, so i really feel like I got a good workout. I started off eating really well too, but then at dinner time I let my gaurd down. I was planning on going to our RS retreat, so I was saving up my calories so I could enjoy the dinner that they prepared, but I couldn't go because Kate was acting like she had an ear infection and Tanner is having a hard time being left, so I ended up not going. My brother in law ordered pizza, and I had 1 1/2 peices of that (which I'm sure is like 600 calories and probably is loaded with some of those 5 no-no ingredients). And then, I had a couple peices of that pumpkin chocolate bread that i fought off so hard yesterday (dang-it!). I should have stopped there, but then I ate a couple handfuls of chocolate chips too. There went 2 of my 3 treats. At least I hadn't had any this week.
I have to say, I feel so yuck. Probably mostly b/c I know I could have done better, but I actually feel a difference in the way I feel after eating those foods. After my first peice of pizza, I almost had a tummy ache. I should have taken that as a sign to stop and find something else to eat, but when it's convenient and right there, it is hard not to. I felt the same after eating all that sugar. Is it really worth it? I'll have to see how I feel as I get further into this program.

Mary, I really like reading about your progress. It's cool that you're doing this and when I'm not nursing like a nazi I plan on doing something like this. Don't be too hard on yourself about your eating, there's always tomorrow. Sometimes people get so down b/c they screwed up once and then get discouraged and quit. I speak from experience:), but you really did actually VERY good (not by your standards I guess, but look at the whole week) Good job!
Thanks Ashley! I agree with you and I'm not beating myself up over it. I'll start again fresh tomorrow!
I try to watch what I eat through the week. (I am not as good as you are about it!) But then I give myself one "free day" a week. I have found that it really helps to know that one day a week I can eat whatever.
