My little setback...

Yesterday, I had a great breakfast and an awesome lunch!  My little set back came in after lunch.  This is what happens when I don't come prepared. If I need a snack and do not have a healthy one on me, I grab for whatever I can find.  Yesterday I found a bag of granola and coconut milk.  Sure, these are healthy things to eat, but only if you eat ONE portion. I probably finished the whole bag of granola with coconut, even though I was full after a serving!

Dinner felt like an even bigger disaster!  I went to the Indian street in Jersey City and checked a new joint that opened up, called Chore Baazar.  The theme of this place was good, but the food and chai was not that great.  I did have a craving for biryani and ordered that from Lucky's Biryani stall.  First of all, the biryani did not taste that good, second of all, they were out of the mirch ka salan, third of all, I asked for hot oil and they gave me mint chutney.  I don't know if it was just Lucky's being like or if the whole joint is like this.  I may give Chore Bazaar one more shot, just to check out another stall and see how the food is.  The service was good and so were the portions.

So, I did eat the biryani for dinner.  The overload of granola and biryani has made me feel very sluggish and bloated this morning and I do feel like doing a lot of clean eating today, such as a salad for lunch.  This morning's breakfast was oatmeal with raisins and almonds.  I plan on eating right through out the rest of the day.  Even though I had a set back yesterday, it's exactly that, just a temporary set back.  This really did not effect my weight, just my mood and energy.  I also did not work out yesterday, which did not help me either.

Ugh, I do feel out of it today :-(

Last Night's Dinner...uh-oh

Last night my friend Nina and I checked out the hilarious act of comedian Ahmed Ahmed. Before that, we decided to have a small pizza dinner and cucumber salad. This was not the uh-oh moment. The uh-oh moment came during the dessert. Not only did I buy the wonderful mud pie and oreo cookie desserts but I also had quite a bit! This is the first time I've strayed from the Cinch! Diet. I think if I had just a little bit of the dessert then I would be fine, but I had a lot...and you know what? Since I over did it, this really didn't agree with me! The dull ache and bloat that I feel made me think that I just had too much. Now, this one setback will not undo all the hard work I've done.  Next time, I will tell myself to stop when I'm done!  Now, I still had a WONDERFUL night with Nina! I would do it all again, with a little less dessert :-p

Oh Boy....

Hey Guys, So, I'm going to be really honest with my posting here. After lunch time, it all went down hill for me Now, I'm usually not perfect, I mean some days I do go over about 3 points here and there, but because I workout atleast 4 days a week, this usually doesn't have an impact on my weight. Also, don't forget, we do get an extra 35 WW pts. per day. Now, for today, I did not do too great. For starters, today was free cone day at Ben and Jerry's. I thought I would be healthy and get the frozen yogurt....after I checked online I found out this was 4 points alone. On top of that, later on after that, I had a few BIG tablespoons of dark chocolate PB, this was really bad...in total, I know I must have had over 10 WW pts right there. Then there was dinner...dinner was Thai...lets just not go there... So, yes, I did very bad today....BUT tomorrow is another day. One failure will not ruin all my hardwork, and you guys should remember this when you think you have 'messed up'. Everyone had their bad days...be it from stress from work, emotional eating bc something happened, or things just out of your control. The important thing to remember is, you cannot let a set back throw you off for the rest of the week. Try not to dwell on what went wrong and start working on making things right. We are all human...and this happens. Like I said, tomorrow is another day, another opportunity to better ourselves! As they say...you live and learn :-) How did your day go?
