I realize that I have been missing from this blog for the last four days, and believe me, I have good reason for this. You might remember that I mentioned I was taking my son on his first camping trip, which is exactly where I have been. It was wonderful, and for the most part, I stayed strong and stuck to the diet...for the most part.
Obviously, I have no idea what my weights were for the days we were in the woods. I was not going to haul my scale with me. The idea was to get away from the everyday, and that we did. I do know that I burned a lot more calories than I would on a normal day while we were out there. For example, we hiked, we fished, we took the peddle boats out several times....all of this is more activity than I would get in a normal day, even a weekend day, here at home. I guess that is why I fudged a bit... Just a little, but the guilt is killing me, so I need to be accountable and lay it all out on the line here.
I roasted marshmallows. Yes, I know they are processed sugar, but I need something.... I needed to participate in a camping tradition and so I took one serving (which was 9 medium marshmallows) and roasted them. They came to a total of 110 calories. I know that I burned more than that earlier in the day - which was my justification, but I still have that little voice in the back of my head that is saying: Shame on you!!
I had a second little cheat this afternoon (Sunday the 17th). We had not planned on staying long enough to need to eat lunch in the park, however, my son wanted to do more boating and fishing, so we stayed. I had 2 uncooked chicken patties left that were not cooked the other night - they were back-ups, just in case. A chicken patty was good, what was not good is I had made the patties by mixing the meat with sharp cheddar cheese. Of course my ones I made for me didn't have the cheese, but I had already eaten them by the time lunch rolled around today. I had no choice. It was later (around 2 pm) and I was so hungry that I was feeling sick and shaky. I ate the patty. I still had broccoli, the Melba toast, and an orange, but I know the patty was more than 3.5 oz, and the cheese - it was not a lot of cheese, but I could taste it, so it was enough.
I know that this will effect what weight I see when I get on the scale in the morning. I am actually kind of worried about it. When I left on this trip, I had planned on returning home to at least 206, but I think that won't happen now. I'm hoping for 207, but I think that may even be a dream. I guess we shall see in the morning. One thing I have to remind myself is that I am in control of my results. If I screw up (i.e.; marshmallows and cheese stuffed patties) then I am not going to get the results that I want. Damn it!
So I have my next appointment set up, it is this coming Wednesday, and seeing as my lady time seems to be wanting to make an early appearance, it is going to allow for me to ask about taking the injections during menstruation - still need that answer. Guess the appointment is good timing. I'm sure this is the last thing anyone cares to read about, but if this blog ever found it's way into the life of someone looking for answers, I want the information to be available.
Back to work tomorrow. Ugh, but that is also the return to a more set routine and I can get back in the no cheat mode, which will be good. I am only 5 days away from being at the 1/2 way point. I was thinking that was a little closer than it is, since I have finished 2 weeks, but I have to keep in mind that this is a 42 day program, not 30. So hopefully tomorrow will be a good day, lacking in the stress department and I will have no hunger going into the week. That would be great.
