Why??

Yesterday i had a great weigh in for the week, i'd had a great week food wise and exercise wise! So why did i not get my butt off of the couch and do some exercise before i went to work?? Why didn't i take my planned dinner and instead had a cheddar cheese bagel?? Why??? Oh and did i mention popcorn and wine last night??

Why did i do this, honestly don't know but i do know that today i've kicked my own butt and prepared a planned brekkie and i'm also going to do a speed walk although how speedy i'll be today i honestly don't know. But the main thing is that my not so great choices only lasted a day and i'm back working on me again :)

I think part of the problem is that when i have a nice loss i feel as though i "deserve" to relax! I'm going to have to work on that.  That is why i don't weigh myself daily because try as i might that scale sets the mood for my day.

Oh and i received a really nice award from Julie the versatile blogger award! Thank you Julie


Hope you are having a great day!!

I'm with you on that "I deserve" it feeling. I need to change that to an "I deserve a pedicure or new shoes or a break from laundry" instead of it being food related.

Congrats on your Versatile Blogger award. You definitely are versatile... I love your blog and your food picture journal blog. :)

I'm so there...I do something good and I feel like I deserve and I reward myself with food. We need to figure out a way to reward ourselves for those times when we deserve it with something non food related!

Congrats on the award - it looks great on you.

Congrats on the reward and the weigh in. I also like to reward myself with food. I am thinking about rewarding myself with something else like a new pair of shoes or a cute pair of socks. Like your post today.

You're right, the good thing is that you're back on track so fast! That's what you have to do....and next time for a reward, think mani/pedi!

I set a list of mini-goals for myself with non-food rewards at each one. As I save money from not eating out all the time, I'm putting the money aside for my rewards. They grow in expense as I lose more. My first was a new fitness game for the Wii and my next is some good exercise shoes - like Reeboks instead of the payless stuff I usually get. Further down the line I'll get an iPod and the C25K program to go with it. Each reward helps me go forward on my journey.

Congrats on the award.

some times we fall down, but as long as we pick ourselves right back up we are going to be just fine!

I do the same thing. I weigh in and then I feel like I can be a little more leniant. Which is ok, I guess- as long as I don't go too far! But I'm sure you'll be wonderful!

I think it is a reward thing. We still want to think of food as a reward, and when you are doing good - you want to reward yourself. As long as you just do this once in a while, it's no big deal. It's just food :D

Slip ups happen - it's a part of this journey. Don't beat yourself up over it. Just move on. Right now. You'll be fine.

Carrie said...

Suzi, I can so relate to this. You are always right there the next day though to get back on track. This is the most important thing. Great job!

Joy said...

Every milestone I do the same thing..So frustrating. However, I think I'm getting better at this. I just blasted past a milestone and did not even realize it. No break in my routine at all. So there is hope! Hugs!

Im with Syl and have found I learn more in a way when I STUMBLE (fitness and life) than when Im merely trudging along doing what Im 'sposed to.
