EVALUATION:
Ummmm, tooooooo mucccchhhhh fooooooood! The beginning of the week was fine. It all came off the rails on Friday. And once I screw up, I throw the towel in. I know better. I have done better. It's embarrassing to put this out there. You already know my history with this damn Chex mix. It is the most addicting thing ever and that's why I only make it during the holidays or when I'm taking it to a potluck. I can't have it in the house. (I won't even tell you I added popcorn and M&;Ms to this batch ... "camo corn" for a 4H banquet with a camoflage theme ... could I be more creative? It was truly amazingly awesome and horrible all at the same time.)
I think in my head this week I was saying ... I added workouts, so I get to eat more. Man, I love to eat. The truth is "scheduling" snacks made my workdays easier. I felt like I was always eating. And therefore always full.

This writing it down, seeing it and knowing you all are reading it
is really eye opening. Let's see what next week brings.

I wouldn't say the week is a total loss. Honestly, my friend, I don't think you're eating ENOUGH. The Chex mix is a killer. I'd eat it too...and Doritos...my greatest love...can't resist them.
Also, it's hard to go out to eat and not indulge in the yumminess of fries and ice cream...isn't it??? Since I'm not a dessert person, I could do without the ice cream, but love the fries and the cocktails.
You always tell us to think about the GOOD in things...look at the week as a whole. One bad day does not equal a bad week. So, you had a few to many yummy treats...you exercised a lot, you built in snacks so you weren't starving, and you were honest with yourself in keeping a log of what you ate. Don't be so hard on yourself.
Honestly...look at your intake of food. Is it enough to sustain you? It seems like you should eat MORE. I've found that to be true for me sometimes. (but not more Chex mix or Doritos, or ice cream...that stuff is just FUN!)
Thanks for sharing the fact that you're real like the rest of us!!!
You're right. It wasn't all bad. But it was way off. And compared to what I ate when I was seriously losing, this was a LOT of food. You'd be horrified to know how much of that sugary, buttery Chex Mix with M&Ms I ate. I ate three mixing bowls full ... at least. It's so freaking good. Peggy said something today that makes sense to me. Changing your body is 80% what you eat, and 20% how much your exercise. I totally believe that. Now to get on it.
