some frutrations and concerns
Posted: Tue Jan 27, 2009 9:12 pm
OK, this may sound lame to some people, but we only get about two snow days a year around here, and a surprise day off is just too fun not to celebrate. So, snow days are S days as far as I'm concerned, although I will rethink that if we ever get more than a couple of them.
I think I am doing OK at No S, but I am pretty worried about weekends. Claiming an S day like today doesn't seem as much of a problem--I just allow myself a sweet and that's that. But on weekends, it seems I just go a bit crazy. Maybe its the psychology of disciplining myself by saying "not till Saturday" that kind of makes me go crazy on Saturday. Or maybe its the two "no rules" days in a row that causes the problems. I don't know.
I am also concerned about N days because, although I do not break the rules as written, I don't always make the healthiest choices. I know I should be eating more vegetables and less fat with every meal and that I sometimes overload my plate. Any advice? Do I just keep doing what I am doing and see what happens?
I haven't weighed because I am waiting for Feb 1 to weigh, but I am afraid I am not losing. Of course all of this discouragement may stem from the fact that an injury has kept me from my workouts for a couple of weeks now. Sigh. It's hard to stay upbeat when I am sedentary, and my darned achilles throbs so badly it keeps me off my feet.
So that's where I am today.
