A Couple of Pitfalls...

One of the reason I chose to weigh myself on Fridays was because I knew that the weekends tend to be pitfalls for diets. So the last thing I wanted to do was weigh myself on a Monday. 


Anyway the last two days I've completely tanked my diet. Ironically enough it's the only two days I've exercised in quite some time! 


On Saturday I walked 5 miles. Yes 5. B's Mom and I walked downtown from my house and then walked back to my house. Then we went to Costco. Enter Pitfall number 1: 





Costco samples to be exact. There were SO many and they were so hard to turn down and to be honest I didn't try to turn them down. But even that I didn't necessarily consider a pitfall, I figured the workout fixed that although the point of working out was to lose weight NOT to eat Costco samples. 


That very same day I had pitfall number 2

I think if I had to pick a favorite candy ever this might be it. So when I saw them on display at 7-11 I couldn't help but grab one. And let me tell you it was delicious. The calories aren't so far off from some of my NutriSystem desserts {which I skipped in favor of this} but the fat? yea. That's the main difference. 

Then there was Sunday. It was a disaster. For one I woke up later than usual {Thanks DST} so my breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner schedule was all messed up. And I couldn't stop picking at some melted chocolate {pitfall number 3} I had to clean out of the fridge. And then B had me run to the store and get dessert for his Dad and him. And that was Pitfall number 4, 5, 6. 

 

It was delicious. It was SO delicious that I may have had more than my fair share. My fair share would have been nothing. I had 3x that. I obviously my NutriSystem Dessert today. But I don't think that or my 20 minutes of Pilates has anything on that yummy full of calories and fat delicious crumb cake. 

Lessons Learned

• Just because you have a pitfall doesn't mean you have to have pitfall after pitfall after pitfall after pitfall...well you get the point
• Moderation is Key
• It's okay to have a pitfall or pitfalls. The best thing you can do is start the next day fresh, drink your water and work out harder/more! 

Tomorrow or at this point Today's another day! Plans include 20-30 minutes of Pilates and 35+ minutes of walking! And right now I'm going to do some crunches before bed. That will get rid of the crumb cake calories right? ;) 


I'll let you know how it goes!
