D.66-217.5 – I skipped my Saturday run and quite proud of myself for doing so. I had a ton of work to catch up on and lots of studying to do for school, so I sacrificed something I love to do and gave my priority to my career and education.  However, I also ate badly at a family party and I now regret it. I suspect eating late also made things worse for this morning’s weigh-in. 😦   (Down 14.2 pounds)

I am sad to report that I ended up skipping my run yesterday. I had so much to do for both school and work that I really needed that extra time to catch up on my reading and on a new website were working on for the company I work for. I told myself I would at least hit the treadmill the first change I got, but hour after hour rolled on by and it was impossible for me to break away. In the evening there was a family gathering, so I needed to get in as much as I could.

Fitness

No exercise whatsoever today. 😦

Breakfast

Made myself some scam led eggs.  As before, I know I need to start varying my breakfasts soon, but I won’t explore this until in about a week and a half.

Lunch

With so much work that I had to do, I ended up eating a late lunch.  By that point I was contemplating skipping it altogether given that there was a family get-together later in the evening. However, I decided to just eat something light so as not to arrive super hungry in the evening and indulge in everything under the sun.  

Dinner

Now we come to the family party. I will make a quick list of everything I had as best I can remember:

• Snacked on some Doritos and cheese puffs (I shouldn’t have but it was less than my usual)
• 1 piece of fried chicken breast
• Small serving of pasta and rice
• Two small servings of a milk-based jello my mom makes
• 2 cupcakes
• 1.5 glasses of wine
• 2-3 servings of liquor 43

I definitely fell into a few traps yesterday, but believe me this was far better than my usual self at these types of events. I’ve always tended to just continue eating until I could not longer fit anything else.  As you can see, my biggest weakness is dessert and I will need to focus on this for future family gatherings.
