Day 417

So it's the day after Tabata and I'm taking the day off from working out.  I'm visiting friends I occasionally hang out with.  I figure it's not a bad thing to take time off.  At the same time I'm conscious of possible sabotage.  I say that because yesterday I hit a soft goal weight wise and I'm afraid my brain can't take the possibility that I can achieve the ultimate goal.  Possibly this sounds like I'm making excuses but this has happened before.  I guess though since I'm aware of it I may be able to lessen the impact and maybe keep it from becoming an issue.
Wow a bit out there but still a valid concern.  I think that that is something we need to address quite often when body issues come into play.  It's easy to look at the scale and make note of the pounds going away but then look in the mirror and still see the imperfections.  The eyes can see the brain may be blowing smoke, yet the brain is trying to convince the heart to keep going, because the brain knows how it can end.  
All you need is time and honest effort.

Breakfast: Frittata with the broccoli, lentils, and bok choy along with a fruit bar from the baked goods extravaganza of yesterday.  20oz of cold water.

1st snack: Yes I'm still eating baked goods.  4 root beer float cookies.  I swear these taste just like a root beer float.

Lunch: Low carb tortilla with salmon, tahini, hummus, tomato, and lettuce.  A piece of cheese cake.

2nd snack: More baked goods: 2-lemon bars (so good) and 2-pretzel carmel brownies

Dinner: Visiting friends and they made rice with chicken and sausage with veggies.  Had a big serving and then a very small serving of rice with more chicken and sausage with veggies.  Also a small helping of salad made with cilantro, watermelon, and cucumber.  It was quite good.

So went a bit off the rails today but it still makes life worth living so I'm accepting the quilt and moving on.  The only way to live is to live and learn.  I keep telling myself that this body wasn't made in a day so don't expect it to become the body you want in a day.  Silly maybe but the truth never hurts.  At least not too much.
