Sometimes I feel as if I'm working off today what I ate yesterday. It's like this. As I tally the caloric intake of the days food consumption, I realize the math doesn't add up. My helliptical tells me I've burned off 540 calories. Great! My food packages tell me I've eaten roughly 2,000 to 30,000 calories...sooo, if I workout for the next 3 mornings...plus what I did this morning, I should be able to work off what I ate...4 days ago!
My workouts don't feel backwards compatible. I want to eat all the Pizza I want in a day and get up the next morning and flail for 30 minutes and have burned off the weight from the day before... and today! Is that so unreasonable? (I just realized I capitalized the word Pizza. I think that is out of some subconscious respect I have for that food group!)
I know my wife will be reading this later so I won't go into too much detail, but (I love you honey) I think that self control is going to have to come into the mix at some point here if I'm going to get my scale to stop backing away from me when I come near it to weigh myself. It means well. It just got out of its cast, from the last time I weighed myself.
I need to let yesterday be yesterday, and not feel bad about what I ate. But, to lose the pounds, I also need to eat the right foods today, to make it so I don't have to worry tomorrow. This way my workouts will help me with today's ability to feel good about my health.
249 pounds. But I don't feel as if I've earned it. Drinking water for 4 days straight cleans a man out...but it is progress. I'll feel good about it when I hit 245. Its a small milestone, but I'll know it's not just a weight swing.
-I would gladly work out Tuesday for a hamburger today-
