More Confessions

Currently, inside my belly, are the following items:

• 1 sandwich
• 1/2 canister of Pringles
• 1 dill pickle
• 3 cookies
  

I guess, in all honesty, I just lost control this afternoon. I was feeling a bit down, and I decided to stuff my emotions with food.

(And to top it all off, I broke my Lenten sacrifice by eating and reading a magazine at the same time.)

The way I see it... I have two choices:

Option #1: Chalk this up as a lesson learned. Put it in the past and close the door on it. And approach my next meal with a healthy diet attitude instead.

Option #2: Allow this minor setback to derail my diet for the entire evening. Polish off a few glasses of red wine and eat the French fries hubby purchased for dinner. Resolve to start with a clean slate tomorrow.

Under normal circumstances, I would choose Option #1. But I am experiencing unusual mood swings today. (Ladies: You understand what I mean, right?)

On top of it all, I had to skip my strength training workout. Somehow... somewhere... I must've really worked my upper body. Every time I laugh, my ribcage hurts. My back is aching and my shoulders are sore. I don't think I'm physically capable of hoisting weights today.

And, whenever I skip workouts, I always lose a little bit of willpower for the rest of the day.

I may just toss in the towel today and start again tomorrow. Not the smartest idea, I know, but the only option I can face right now.
