Back on track

Yes, I had Chipotle last night. And popcorn with my movie (Argo...not bad).  Started my fast @ 11pm and fasted until after 7:00pm tonight, so about 18 hours.  I do feel much better and am mentally back on track.  I need to ask myself each time I'm tempted to go off track, will this take me  closer to or further from my goal?  I work too hard to go the opposite direction.  That being said, an occasional  "treat" is different than an all-out binge.  I do think you should treat yourself, but that key word: occasional.
I'm an all-or-nothing kinda gal, so for me it's easier to avoid it all together.  Intermittent Fasting  helps me balance. I still need less "all" and more "nothing" to stay on track. Others may do better will "a little something" every day. I can't do that.

So yes, my first bite was my dinner at 7pm.  Chicken breast, steamed veggies, and French loaf w/butter. Had a (pre-planned)snack tonight of Oikos vanilla greek yogurt w/berries and slivered almonds.  If I am going to eat a post-dinner snack, it should contain a decent amount of protein. And it is sweet so I'm completely satisfied, and because of my long fast, am well under my caloric goal for today. I didn't work out either because I'm trying to get over this wretched cold.  

I'm also keeping in mind this week that I am throwing a party Saturday night and there will be lots of food and drinks...and cake. I'm really hoping to not all-out engorge myself, but I do plan on having a great time and do not want to be obsessing over food the whole time.  And I teach Combat the next morning, so I don't wanna feel like total shit when I teach.

Anywho, off to bed (even though I napped untl 2pm!). Nighty-night!
