4/23, Slip up! lol

Well the title is a tiny bit misleading. I did have a big slip up though, and I am pretty disappointed about it. I should start off by saying I have done pretty good with eating today. I had some light pringles and strawberries for snacks when I got up. I had a very nice workout today, I even beat my previous record for most calories burned in an hour! (my old record had been 823, today I shattered it with 840!). I am pretty excited about this, I really had to put all my effort into breaking my old record, and its going to be hard to break that record again for a while.

The slip up came when I got back from the gym. I was freaking starving and whats waiting on me when I get home?! A nice big helping of Chinese food (happens to be my favorite food). I should have known this was coming because my Dad always brings home Chinese food on Thursday nights. Sigh. If I had remembered I might have been able to prepare better and avoid temptation. Well I put all the food on my plate (a nice big serving of Chinese) and I go what am I doing!? And I tapped right then and there, the craving went away pretty thoroughly (though it was super intense) And I was able to put the Chinese food back in the fridge and put something healthier in the oven. I told myself that I was going to get one last whiff of the Chinese food and feel the craving again so I could tap it out better (big mistake lol). And once I got a second whiff of that Chinese food there was no going back. Luckily, much of it had already been eaten so I was able to save more calories then my control at the time would have allowed. I came sooooo close to fending it off, pretty frustrating, but I am going to focus on the positives on the day (like my great workout) And just not eat almost anything for the rest of the night.

I have been doing really well, EFT has not failed me yet, but I do have to put myself in a position to use it correctly to avoid situations like this in the future. The meal was likely about 1300 calories plus the other food I ate earlier we are looking at about 1800-1900 calories. Which is ok with my big workout I guess, but I am going to go very lightly on food for the rest of the night.

Later ;)
