So, remember yesterday when I was wondering what my weekend beverages might have done to my Wed. weigh in? Well, THAT is now the least of my worries. Yesterday was our little lunch group's day to dine. We chose a wonderful deli/market whose salads are wonderful, and too numerous to mention. I had my lunch planned, ready to go, when BAM!!!! out of nowhere a little voice told me "Get all the salads with mayo in them!!" I listened, I ordered, I sat at our table an looked at my trio of salads....chicken salad (wonderful, and the only one I had actually planned for), garlic pasta salad w/big shells of pasta (not the whole wheat variety, either), and a crunchy cabbage salad w/ramen noodles. I did nix the accompanying roll. :) Not at all a pretty sight. I was eating and thinking, "mayonnaise, mayonnaise,mayonnaise, how will I work this off in time?" Never fear, another few rounds on the bike or 'mill and I'm back in the game. Didn't happen. 'Nuff said. My "Dayo of Mayo" didn't end there, I'm afraid. Last night we were invited to a friend's for an open house to meet some of her family. Yep, you guessed it, a pasta salad was there along with various appetizers. Take another guess...what did I do? Avoid??? Hell no, I dove right into the mayo salad, the mayo dip, and then topped it all off with BEER!!!
I'm off to golf right now, so am hopeful I might wear off at least one beer. I am dreading weigh in Wed. but I'll jump on the scales, and post the results through my tears. I know it is my own damned fault, but geez, what ever possesses a person to so completely screw up like this?? Even as I was doing it, I was cursing myself.....shovel, shovel, shovel.
I have a hard time avoiding the mayo too. A least I keep the light stuff in the house to use when I just "have" to have it. And I work around it on the ohter things I eat so I "can" have it.
ReplyDeleteIt really may not be as bad as you think V! You have been busting the cardio, and the golf course. And even if it is up a bit, you can fix it, right? Pease tell me you can, because I am still paying for my Mother's Day indulgence!! :-)
ReplyDeleteWhen you figure out why one can be so motivated to lose yet dives head first into foods that are not the greatest for us (for example the dayo of mayo), PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let me know.
ReplyDeleteBut all joking aside, accept it and move on. This journey is about accepting when we do something that is not so healthy for us and move on and a better choice the next day! You can do it!
I just posted this morning about my scale woes from the adult beverages. My weigh in is tomorrow too so I'll be thinking about you!! :)
ReplyDeleteHey V, have you seen this lady's blog? She loves golf too!
ReplyDeleteDon't beat yourself up. It was one bad day and they are going to happen occasionally. I say that because I need to forgive myself for my Mexican food indulgence last night. I'll see you on the cardio circuit this week (virtually, that is) - it sounds like we both need it. :)
ReplyDeletePerhaps a wee (healthy) snack before you eat might help avoid the super tasty mayo salads (yum). You have done a great job with your cardio workouts so you may just have been extra hungry (and lucky). Will be crossing everything for you for your weigh in tomorrow.
ReplyDeletePS: I live right near St. Andrews, BTW!
If you figure out the WHY of what we sometimes do, you will become a very wealthy woman. :)
