Well friends I have not been doing so good on the diet and exercise thing. I have been down and out due to being sick. Still have no idea what exactly was wrong with me. Yes my lypmh node was swollen, but I had no other sign of infection. The dizzies still come and go but they have gotten much better. I have felt weak and tired for two weeks strait. Physical tasks that my new work out driven body found easy were now daunting. But two nights ago I was able to get back on the treadmill for 45 minutes so I think I am bouncing back.
The trouble with not feeling good is that I do not want to diet. I dug into the comfort foods like a kid in a ball pit. I would start each day with calories in mind, but as the day progressed I gave into temptations. I have been hitting a lot of drive thru's, having popcorn in the evenings and rocking candy and cake at work. I am really kind of shocked how easy it was to slip back into bad habits. And how easy it has been to rationalize each bad choice.
So today is Easter, I have gained back two pounds. I wanted to be under 220 by this point in time but I am still hanging out in the 230's. With two family get togethers today it is pointless to declare that I am getting back with it, I know I am going to fail.
But come Monday, it will be alright, come Monday I'll be eating food right, I spent 14 crazy days in a food drunk haze and I just want to get back on my diet. (Jimmy Buffett would be so proud.)

I kind of see where he is coming from.
(this upsets my husband greatly as he is very serious about his Jimmy Buffett) |
Have a happy Easter/Passover/Rock out on candy and food day! See you next post where I hope to report that I am doing wonderfully and have dropped 50 pounds in a week! :)
Two weeks do not a diet failure make. Especially when you need the pampering that goes with illness. Hang in there, I can tell a difference in the way you look and think, so keep positive and you'll see positive results in your negative weight gain goal.
