I was doing so dang good, not one single moment of cheating......till Saturday night, which is our family pizza night. I didn't plan ahead, and I totally fell off! I sat here for over an hour debating on whether or not to order Dominoes or make something healthy. In the end, I did make something healthy, so I shouldn't feel too bad, but I did have bread which I'm not supposed to have at this stage, even though it was whole grain, and on top of that, I polished off 1.5 peices of the kids' tombstone, totally a no-no. I think that falling off the wagon just encourages binging for me, because after that, I just wasn't satisfied, I needed dessert even though I wasn't hungry, so I had a "legal" dessert -- but I had two servings. I guess it could have been worse. The upside is that even though I fell off, I struggled really hard about whether to do so or not. In the past, I would have just ordered Dominoes without hesitation, pigged out, and claimed that I'd get back on the next day (and then probably not)! So, maybe I'm gaining some ground afterall! I did get back on today, and hopefully the lesson learned is to plan ahead. I will be ready with a healthy no crust pizza recipe in hand when next Saturday rolls around! I am disappointed in myself, but I do think that I have changed my ways. I'm ready, excited even, for week 2!! My elliptical machine should be here by Tuesday at the latest, so I'm super excited about that, that is going to help sooooo much!
