Tax day, weigh day
My Saturday meltdown was continued on Monday as I picked up taxes, ran them home to go over them, then ran them up to hubby at work so he could sign the paperwork so we could e-file and ran them back to the accountant. My first two meals were A-OK... but by the time I had the various checks written and mailed, I went to the store and it was there that I just caved to the stress of the day. Bought two king sized candy bars and one snack size bag of Cheetos along with the usual healthier fare. Needless to say, the bad stuff was gone in a flash as soon as I got home.
I managed to squeeze in enough online time to update my weigh-in page, my ticker and my traineo button, but didn't have time to write a post, sorry!
Later, I just felt crappy and tired, I think partly because of all the temperature change about lately, but also because it was quite windy out and I think the pollen must've been flying around, because I suddenly had sneezing going on and allergies and itchy nose kicking in. And instead of fixing dinner, we ordered pizza. Not our usual healthier take and bake, but a full blown pepperoni pizza with breadsticks. And I ate a half cup serving of ice cream after as well.
To be frank, I felt sick from acid reflux later in the night. All that fat and carbs! The breadsticks didn't even taste that good to me!
Anyway, the taxes are done. The stress is gone!
My eating today hasn't been stellar either, as I had leftover pizza for breakfast and a healthier TV dinner for lunch. Planning to get a little exercise in and just try to get right back on track with the eating/drinking. The fridge has been refilled with veggies.
As for my Monday weigh-in... it was an improvement over last week at 222.8 pounds. Naturally today's after pizza weigh-in was pretty awful! So back on track before the two meltdowns become a train wreck!
I've noticed that nowadays when I indulge in my old favourites I get that acid reflux too! Too many carbs I reckon.

If I ate bad food, it puts me out of sync for the whole week. Or it is just my imagination?

Hi there Cynthia!
I have to apologize - as funny as this sounds, I didn't actually realize that you were blogging on your own site! I don't know how that slipped my attention, but I've subscribed now so that should be fixed up.
On your "cave" - I think that if there is any day that "deserves" a dietary exception, April 15th is IT. an indulgence on tax day? Who can blame ya?

Andrew, I must admit, I feel better when I overindulge less. Though it's funny, I ate pizza the next morning and had no issues. So it's eating at night that seems to cause the acid problems.
Jessica, as for getting out of sync for the whole week, that doesn't always happen but this week, good golly! I'm on track today though and hope to maintain that stability over the weekend.
Metroknow, I must admit, this years taxes were stressful. I plan to do better this coming year with my paperwork and will start earlier. I used to be one of those persons at the PO right before midnight... so I supposed I've improved somewhat.
We all have setbacks and those days when we give in but its great that you are back on track. Good luck!

I only wish I'd gotten back on track a little sooner! This next weigh-in may not be pretty.
I also got myself in a little workout hole... if I want to complete my President's Challenge star for the week, no rest days until next week!
