The one where I hang my head in shame...

Friday - I was on top of the world - coming off of a 2lb loss, and feeling great for completing week two of #5kin100days!  Saturday I spent with my wonderful husband at RIPEfest which was a bit smaller than I thought it would be (not as many food vendors as I had pictured in my head, I guess), but it was fun to get to a different part of the city that we normally would not have ventured to.

Sunday was a home game, so basically I spent the day eating, drinking, eating some more, drinking and than eating some more to close out the night. Got a great nights sleep, and Monday came in with a small whisper, as I was not cranky or dehydrated, but quite ready to take on the day.  Until I left the office for lunch. It was rainy - and instead of my scheduled #5kin100days workout, I opted to binge... 

A visual for your reference:

So basically, my LUNCH alone was almost 100 calories OVER my DAILY Allotment!!!  What the... ?!  

I had some thoughts on this, and I think I have rationalized what went wrong and what I need to work on...:

• The Monday after a homegame, I am going to have to make a much better effort to get my butt out of the office and into my workout.  By letting the rain ruin my scheduled workout (yes, I realize, I made the conscience choice NOT to workout in the rain... but for now, I'm going to act like Milli Vanilli and  blame it on the rain) I set out on a landslide of BAD BAD choices for the day.  I can work on this again next Monday, as yes, my friends, the Brownies are home again.
• It seems like the week after I get my period, I go into a slump - I am not motivated, and just don't "feel" like doing anything.  This is that week.  While I felt great after my lunchtime workout today, I cannot say the same for when I started....  I was sluggish and really not looking forward to the workout today.  I am going to have to try to read up on this, wonder if there is something to my theory, and it is not just me experiencing this.
• Better food prepping and planning.  Like now - I have leftover cupcakes, candy bars (singular, as I just ate half a milky way while typing away), and cookies in my house that need to get the heck out.  In my brain, I cannot waste them, I have to eat them - which in turn is ruining any other efforts I am making at eating right.  Quick solution is a no-brainer - don't buy it or bring it in, and you won't have to worry - but that is easier said than done.

I have come to a conclusion that while I am more active than I have ever been (atleast for the past 4 weeks),  my eating can and will undue all of the work I put in physically.  I need to get a better handle on my eating in order to start seeing true results.  Exercise and eating go hand in hand, and I need to work both ends to make something start happening in the middle.  

Good thing we get new chances everyday... I won't be able to delete yesterdays binge, but I can do better today!
