Guest guest Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 Anyone else having a hard time recovering from Easter--with food I mean? I started off okay most of Monday, but it was all downhill from there. It seems like each night this week I found a reason to eat something I shouldn't have. Not a good reason, but a reason. Ugh. On the upside, I didn't eat any Easter candy. All that junk food that the Easter bunny brought (a.k.a. my MIL) went right to my son. But at least I exercised this week. Hopefully next week will be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 Hi , I'm having some trouble, too. We didn't have any candy around - but I did bake chocolate chip cookies for the Easter Bunny (my daughter's favorite) and although I was good all week without eating them, I did eat 4 last night in a fit of stress. I recently re-discovered sorbet and that is working nicely as a substitute for the ice cream I'd like to eat every night. For some reason, I can stop at just a few spoonfuls of the sorbet, whereas with ice cream, I'm not sure I'd be able to stop until it was gone. That is m y biggest vice, I think. I actually don't crave chocolate, cake or cookies as much. I do love Pizza thugh, but don't always consider it junk food if I'm having it as a meal. Hang in there, you'll get better you're always so on track!!!

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 > Anyone else having a hard time recovering from > Easter--with food I mean? hi paul! i hear ya! but i struggle with food all of the time, not just after easter....LOL yesterday i ate one tiny little caramilk bunny chocolate and felt guilty all night long ::sigh:: hang in there! at the least, you have recognized that you are off of your eating plan... that is the first step in getting your act back together again. start by making a substitute for this nightly treat... something that you like but is lower in cals/fat and keep substituting until you have made it down to having something that is completely healthy, or to having nothing at all. i find that i have to wean myself off of the junk... if i go cold turkey then i feel deprived. ah well, like you said, tomorrow is another day to get back on track. congrats on your workouts this week! good going! :*carolyn.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 , I know what you mean. I've been munching on a bag of snack size Butterfingers all week. I've resolved not to buy another one when this one is empty. On the other hand, I've been dedicated to my exercise this week. I have had to though because it is my job...LOL. I taught Pilates on Monday, audited a Bands and Balls class on Tuesday, taught Senior Aerobics on Wednesday, actually got to use my gym on Thursday for a chest and back weight workout and 30 minutes on the treadmill, then audited two aqua aerobics classes today. Tomorrow I have school again, so I'll walk the stairs like I do every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday. After that I'm cleaning our old house so I can turn in the keys and maybe get a workout in when I get home to the new house, but probably not. I'll finish the cleaning on Sunday and definitely get into my gym with my husband then so I can get him started on his routine. He had to go to the doctor today to get his blood pressure checked again to see how the medication is working. He received another lecture about his exercise habits, so he is finally asking me to help him with a program. Hopefully, he will stick with it, but who knows because he hasn't stuck with it in the past when I've given him a program. At least I'll get him to make sure the dvd is hooked up right so I can do videos next week...LOL. I can set up a gym, but I can't figure out how to properly wire up electronics!
