Day 5-Ok
Day 5- It was very dreary out and the cold Canadian Winds have arrived and it was 20 degrees colder today than it was yesterday. Tonight going into the 30's. BRRR! Gotta find my gloves so I can take the dogs out later. I was down to 164.5 lbs this AM and BMI was 31.18. Woo Hoo! I am very concerned about going up tomorrow due to dinner tonight. We will see. I am not going to sweat it as my goal is to do really well tomorrow to offset my "oops" today.
My throat still hurts but better than yesterday. At least I don't have a "gaggy" feeling every time I swallow. My water today was great! Even better than yesterday!
My food today: Oatmeal, coffee, peanut butter and jelly sandwich, herbal tea, lots of water!, diet Coke, 4 slices of Digiorno rising crust pizza (that was the killer!) The pizza was 930 calories! And I was uncomfortably, over full. I should have stopped at 3 pieces. Maybe I should have eaten a banana or apple first and kept it at 2 pieces. So I feel guilty for eating the pizza. and the little voice was yelling at me after the second piece and I didn't listen.
I did over an hour of Wii Walk It Out last night. I have done 1/2 hr of Wii Walk It out so far today. I hit the "pause" button and will do a little bit more after dinner settles a bit. Today's sticky note said: water, 30+ minutes of exercise, 10k steps, DOG FOOD! I remembered everything but the last one!
Why is it so hard for me to imagine myself "normal?" I guess I am so used to seeing myself as fat and frumpy and feeling that way, that I have forgotten what "normal" felt like. And to be honest with myself, I don't think I felt normal when I was normal. Something to think about I guess.
Oh well. Off to Walk It Out!!

Pizza is my downfall too! Then it would be cold pizza for breakfast the next day! So glad you are feeling better. Great steps!
I like our idea of eating a piece of fruit before eating the pizza... You ate more than you should have right so you know that now.. You remember how you felt and start fresh tomorrow. Keep up the good job you are doing... knowing your downfalls and seeing them is a step in the right direction.
I agree what is feeling normal?
