Enjoyed Easter treats - now recovering!

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone, had a hectic weekend with many celebrations centred

around food (what else is new?). Stayed on track for the most part,

but my free day (Sat) I definitely went overboard, beyond what I had

planned. But I've picked myself up, dusted myself off and I'm right

back on track. It IS possible! lol

Here was my insane free day:

Breakfast pretty healthy with eggs/cottage cheese/fruit/ww

pancakes. Took dd to a birthday party, had a slice of homemade

decadent chocolate cake (couldnt resist, her father is a chief chef

at a downtown gourmet restaurant). I actually felt ill from eating

this, so lunch was a big salad with grilled chicken. Afternoon

snack on track with c.cheese and some kashi. Dinner started out ok,

ham/steamed cauliflower & asparagus, small serving of scalloped

potatoes (passed on croissants, alcohol). We celebrated 2

birthdays, so had homemade german chocolate cake & icecream. Then I

broke down and had easter chocolates....I ended the evening with

some cottage cheese.

OK, this is a crazy amount of food, sugar, junk and I havent eaten

like this since Christmas. I negotiated with my dh Sat night so

that I could go for a fasted run the next morning to do HIIT. The

kids did the easter egg hunt in our living room Sun morning and I

had a cup of coffee. While my dh made breakfast, I did a HIIT run

at our local park. I havent done this before and it was INCREDIBLE.

There are crazy hills in the park and I just ran up and down for 20

mins. My face stayed red until noon that day!! lol

I had a healthy breakfast, snack, lunch (sushi, so some white rice,

oh well), missed afternoon snack due to 'timing'. I had another

Easter dinner with my family, but stayed on track for the most

part. Skipped alcohol, gravy, dressing, ham. Stuck to steamed veg

(some starchy, but reasonable servings), turkey. I made two pies

that morning (pumpkin & apple) for my family. I had a sliver of

pumpkin, tasted the inside of my apple, and a sliver of plain

cheesecake (brother's specialty). Not really a perfect day, but I

felt really in control!! Passed on tarts, date squares, ice cream.

Ended evening with a serving of cottage cheese.

I feel freaking great today! After my sugar high on Saturday, I felt

pretty rough on Sunday morning. But the run felt great, and I was so

on track Sunday with my eating becuase of this. I am surrounded by

chocolate bunnies, peeps, cream eggs, jelly beans, etc etc and none

of it is tempting me.

BFL feels good. Off to do my UBW over lunch.

Happy belated Easter everyone!
