The boy has been an inpatient at CHOP for the last seven days.
If you want to know the details of his admission, you can visit his
CaringBridge page. It’s been a sucky week. And I like to eat my feelings. Prior
to his admission, I was working out three days a week, and working on getting
my eating habits back on track by eating cleaner and healthier. Here’s how well
that’s going…
Day One: I’m going to stick to my clean eating goals. The
salads here are good. I’ll eat salad everyday!
Day Two: I really can’t eat salads twice a day everyday, so I’ll
get a rice bowl. With brown rice and no sauce. Oh, and extra veggies! Look at
me sticking to the plan.
Day Three: I’m really tired. That biscotti looks good at the
coffee bar. I’ll just get one piece to have with my coffee. I’ll have salad and
a rice bowl for lunch and dinner so it’s totally okay.
Day Four: Did I see that they have sweet potato fries now?
Sweet potatoes are healthy, right? I think I’ll get a side of sweet potato
fries with my salad today.
Day Five: OMG it’s been a long day. He’s finally asleep. I
need chocolate. The gift shop is open until midnight. Oooo, and sweet tea. Yes,
sweet tea and chocolate at 10pm is exactly what I need.
Day Six: If I eat another effing salad from this effing
salad bar I’m going to lose my effing mind. Yes, put the sauce on my rice bowl.
Hold on, I need to grab some fries.
Day Seven: Give me that muffin the size of my head with my
coffee this morning. Lunch? I’ll have the tacos with fries and a Coke. Dinner?
Potato chips and Tastykakes seem like an excellent dinner tonight. Hold on, let
me grab those donuts for the morning in case I can’t get down here for coffee.
I should grab a sweet tea too.
So with that I bid adieu to the weight loss progress I’ve
made recently. I haven’t been to the gym in over a week, I’m not getting my
steps in, and I just ate Tastykakes for dinner. Why couldn’t I be one of those
people who doesn’t want to eat when they are stressed? Sigh…
Now where did I put those donuts?
as your trainer i say it ain't over till you say it's over. even elite bodybuilders do HUGE cheat days. just keep up that protein and maybe do one sugar festival treat a day. it will make you feel better too, more able to cope with all that crazy stress. it's so hard when you're mentally in the shitter but if you can just get that protein in and keep tabs on the sugar it will help keep you sane. lots of love and feel free to punch me in the mouth. xoxox
ReplyDeleteThanks Elise! I'm trying for a little more balance today, and hopefully I will get back on track when we get home, which we are hoping will be tomorrow!
