Whoops, after hitting the dreaded plateau and decided that I would "increase my calorie count slightly" I ended up falling off the wagon badly. I guess I met up with my hopes of increasing my calorie count but failed to take account of the ever important proviso of "slightly".
My weekend was somewhat of a perpetual pig-out... pad thai, tacos, sour cream, guacamole, wine.... I could go on but I won't, you get the general drift.
I think the thing that I'm most disappointed about and wary of is how easy it is to fall into those patterns of overeating. There was more than one occasion when I was physically stuffed but still ate more food because I love the taste.
It puts things back into perspective that this is going to be a life-long battle for me to overcome my food addiction. I need to consciously thing about and be aware of every single piece of food that I put into my mouth.
In better news, I'm back on plan today. It won't surprise me if I have a gain this week, but that's ok, I have no-one to blame but myself. I've also had a work-out program written up for me at my gym which is exciting. It has lots of weights and a variety of cardio, so hopefully that will give me more motivation to fit some more exercise in.
