Easter
Easter was horrible for me.
My neighbor and I decided to have a cook-out. This would help forgo the traditional ham dinner with all the fixins. It was my job to make macaroni salad, deviled eggs, garden salad, grilled chicken, and hot dogs.
Saturday I made the macaroni salad. I took a little taste to make sure it was good. It was. Then while the kiddies dyed eggs Saturday night I made the deviled eggs. BAD MISTAKE! After they were stuffed, I ate the rest of the stuffing. Then when the kiddies finally went to bed I had to play Bunny. Of course that led to a bite here and there. Chocolate is a weak point for me. After all that I felt so guilty.
When I went to bed I decided to weigh myself. OMG 208! That was a 4lb weight gain. I was so angry. I thought that if I couldn't eat a little off plan and not gain that much, then I was wasting my time and money on NS. I was so discouraged.
Around 4:00am I woke up having an IBS attack. I had not had one since I started NS in February. When the attack was done I was drained. I felt exhausted and lighter! So I again got on the scale. It said 203! That made me feel so much better. That was what I was shooting for during my weekly weigh-in.
After getting up and going through baskets with the kiddies, I had a few more pieces of candy. My youngest daughter caught me. So then I felt like I needed to go into my bedroom and pig out on the extra candy I have hidden under my bed. Why can't I control it?
Now, I just had to get through the rest of Easter and the cookout. I didn't. When it was time to eat I got in line with all good intentions. I got the grilled chicken and garden salad with FF dressing. Then I got 1 rib, macaroni salad, 1 choco chip cookie and 1 brownie. After that I got pork loin, baked beans, more macaroni salad, 1 choco chip cookie and another brownie. I felt miserable. I had ate so much.
After all the festivities were over, I made my neighbor go for our daily walk. We did our usual 1 1/2 hour. I felt a little better about myself for trying to counter act the harm I had done, but new that I had sabotaged my weekly efforts.
Well, weigh-in was this morning. Somehow I managed to weigh in at 202.2! WooHoo, down another 2.8lbs. and a total 30.8 since starting in February!
