weird day

Today was kind of a weird day as far as my eating and exercising goes. I am always able to do more exercise in the am than the afternoon. Yesterday I did 120 steps on the treadmill. This morning I couldn't get passed 92. Today was my day to take care of my mom. They always have junk food over there and since I've started my new eating style I haven't really been tempted. Today though, they had chocolate old fashioned donuts sitting out. I passed them up in the morning, even closed the lid and pushed them to the back of the counter where they weren't so visible. But around lunch time I couldn't resist and had one. I was glad that I had only one, because I've been known to scarf down a whole box within a couple of hours. For lunch I had a whole wheat english muffin with cream cheese, so all in all it wasn't that bad. For dinner I had planned to have a baked potato and hamburger patty.. I bought all the fixins for the potato. I was getting really hungry waiting for the potatoes to cook so I had a snack of a skinny cow popsicle. I was still really hungry so I had some crackers and cheese (which I ended dipping into the sour cream. Finally the potatoes were done and I hafixed all the toppings and stuff and about half way through i was full but still wanted to eat. I ended up finishing the potato. My stomach was full, but I still wanted to eat. I ate 3 marshmallows then after that I was satisfied. A little later I started feeling uncomfortably full. I guess I ate too fast so my brain didn't catch up with my stomach or something. I felt bad for overeating so I pushed myself on the treadmill. I was able to do 105 steps, which is good because previously in the evenings I haven't been able to do more than 70. Sometimes as few as 30. I have been feeling all day like I am slipping. I am so afraid that I will  just give in and throw away all my progress. On the upside. My son made me a hamburger and I truned it down. I really wanted a 2nd and a 3rd skinny cow pop but I stopped at one. I also only had 3 marshmallows that could have easily turned into half a bag or more.

Dont let your day get to you, you are really doing well.
You have more than doubled your steps on the treadmill and are doing fantastic soon you will be losing count and will have to use a timer or stopwatch. You are doing great.
