| Day one or day six which should it be? |
Day four wasn't so perfect. I can say I accomplished all of my goals except for one. The empty calories one. I do have to say that I have a good reason for not accomplishing it though. Honestly I do. DS, my neice, my MIL, my SIL, and I were all at the pool swimming around and EXERCISING. I planned ahead and packed a nice big bowl of GRAPES. I went for a bathroom break and when I got back the grapes were open on the table looking scrumptious. I grabbed a couple and popped them in my mouth. EWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! I gagged. They tasted EXACTLY like the continous spray sunblock sitting right there next to them on the table. Yes, my two year old wanted to make sure that my taste buds were UV protected. BLECK! Swimming makes me crazy hungry and without even THINKING first I started munching on some tea biscuits that were stashed in the diaper bag. Now these are a type of cookie. Not your regular ooey, gooey, double stuff, fudgey hunks of chocolate type of cookies. FIVE of them are only three points. I ate THREE of them before I realized what I was doing!! So yeah I had empty calories. Three cookies worth of empty calories. I also went a little over my calorie allotment as far as SP is concerned, but since I'm actually following WW I did stay in line with that program so I feel ok about that.
Now for Day 5
I did great. I took my one day off from exercise and enjoyed it. I was a little surprised that I wasn't sore from all the water exercises I had done the day before in the pool. I did A LOT of water exercises. I was even jogging in the pool. Then I had another moment. DH and I went to Publix to do some grocery shopping and don't you know that as soon as we walk in the door they have a nice big table set up with TONS of carrot cake samples out. DH grabs one and so do I. :( Ok, we are talking about one teeny, tiny, delicious bite. Again I wasn't even thinking. I don't know if my brain went on vacation for the weekend or what. The worst part of this little situation is that by the time we finished shopping and were checking out, I HAD realized what I'd done. No excuses now right? I still grabbed one more sample on my way out. :( WTH is wrong with me??So now I have to ask myself. Do I start over? Six days into my bootcamp? Do I go back to day one? I was considering adding one more week to my bootcamp in recognition of that whole thing that "it takes 21 days to break a habit and develop a new one". Now if I do that essentially I will be starting over right?? I have to admit it's been really hard. I miss my "treats". I CAN DO THIS. I WILL DO THIS. I'm really dissappointed in myself but I'm not giving up. Just a little blue right now. I'll get over it though.
Anyways I'm taking a poll. Should I have to start "bootcamp" over and go back to day one or should I just dust myself off and keep on keepin' on? |

| My opinion; keep on. You realized your mistakes, admitted to them and took responsibility for them. Everyone has setbacks. Your brain is just use to doing something and it does take time to break old habits. If you start all over from day, again - my opinion, it will be like you're not even acknowledging the hard work, effort, and successes you did have during your first week. These setbacks will only help you be more conscious of what you do pick up to snack on. You're doing great! |
