Ut Oh, Chinese Food!

Okay, okay.

Remember how I said that we were going to Outback Steakhouse? 

Well we didn’t exactly go to Outback.

Instead we went and got a crap ton of Chinese food and then dessert. 

I don’t regret it. It was my cheat and our special day and ….yep – worth it.

What I do regret is this morning, well – lunch time. 

Dustin was having left overs from last night and I was getting my salad, apple, and rice cake together. 

I didn’t even feel like I was missing out on the Chinese Food. It wasn’t until I was cleaning up the stuff and was about to throw away the rest of the pork fried rice that temptation hit me.

Me being me, I ate the rest of it.

Guilt…?

Oh yes.

I tried to log it on my food diary, but food like that is always iffy on the exact nutritional info. 

I did log some, though. Therefore I am accountable and did not just shrug it off.

Progress? Absolutely.

I am pleased with myself and am going to eat just a wee bit lighter tonight.

I’ll also do some extra exercise, which shouldn’t be much of an issue.

I want to binge watch the new season of Orange is the New Black, anyway 😉 . 

Which means my butt should be on the elliptical for hours.

I feel overall pretty good, though. 

I feel amazing knowing that I feel like my mind is back on track and that I am pretty close to reaching my 100lbs goal. 

There is only one thing that I have to complain about today and that is my foot!

I’m sure that I have mentioned this before, but I have had a handful of foot surgeries.

Even after them all I still have issues from time to time. Usually in a different area other than the original problem area.

Not this time, though. I don’t know if it is from walking around too much at Six Flags and then exercising on top of that, but whatever it is I am in pain! The whole bottom of my foot (base of the second toe) is all sore. It is almost always somewhat puffy so I can’t even judge it by if it is swollen or not haha. It hurts to even curl my toes at this point. Dustin made me a makeshift ice pack holder (a.k.a my headband and a thin towel used to keep the ice pack in place) last night since it was beyond manageable.

It feels a tad bit better today, but still very sore. 

I’m not going to take it easy today, though. I mean, I might not go as hard today and instead opt for a few extra hours instead.

 I’d much rather have to exercise for an extra 2 hours then do less time, but have my foot feel worse. 

Tv will help, anyway. 

Okay I think I have ranted enough.

I’ll update you later 😉

Nightly Update

It’s such a good thing that I had already planned on today being a cheat day because a cheat day is exactly what happened. 

We had a lovely time at his mother’s house catching up with his mom and step-father. It was definitely nice to be visiting! I hadn’t seen them since January :0. 

Oh, also! Before I forget I wanted to update you guys on my latest diet change. Dustin and I talked and we have decided to go back to a  non-vegetarian diet. We think that a lot of the medical issues that Dustin has been having recently are due to our diet changes. We may revisit a vegetarian diet in the future; however, we are making the switch back for now. 

It’s funny, though. I didn’t really miss out too too much. I didn’t miss meat. Occasionally I would crave specific things, but that is what happens with everything – such as cake 😉 . We did; however, have take out food, which was probably a bad idea. It had been so long that we were both a bit destroyed. 

I am having some major sinus issues tonight. I honestly feel like my head is going to explode :/. I took some medicine and it has helped, but the pressure is not gone completely. There were a few more things that I was hoping to accomplish that I think I am just going to have to push off until tomorrow – I’m having a horrible time. 

With that being said, I am going to have to be on my best diet/exercise behavior for the rest of this week. I went through my food logs and tried to add in most of the stuff that I had cheated on today so that I can do some extra exercise each day to cover one specific thing. I hope that doing this will keep me accountable for all of the crap that I ate and also allow me to still have a decent loss this week. 

I am going to head back into bed now – I was there, but got back up so that I could update you all :p 

Until tomorrow!
