It's been over a week since I've posted anything. It's been a not-so-good few days but I'm back on track now. I promised you all I would blog about the good, the bad, and the ugly that I go through on my journey, and let me tell you, there was a lot of bad and ugly...
Last Thursday I left for my high school reunion in Nebraska, however, long story short, I had a detour in my trip that landed me in Austin with some good friends for the night while waiting to try to fly out on Friday. I was offered a sandwich for lunch and I happily accepted it, instead of saying "well, actually, I don't eat bread." I really did enjoy the sandwich, so I kinda pushed it out of my mind... BAD Jenny!
In the airport the next day it only got worse. I got there just before lunch and was walking through the terminal looking at all the choices. Although there were several things I could have eaten that were completely on track for me, I instead chose the big slice of pepperoni pizza. BAD Jenny!
I got to my home town and was picked up by my friend, only to head straight out for dinner and drinks... I bet you can guess that it wasn't a very "primal" meal... Yummy tacos, rice and beans, and lots of beer... BAD JENNY!
The next day I did try and redeem myself by ordering a bacon egg and cheese biscuit at McDonnalds and did not eat the biscuit... At lunch I had a burger without a bun, but then had my arm twisted into having a mint oreo shake... BAD Jenny!
That night only got worse... My reunion mixer... we had roast beef sandwiches, fries and pasta salad that were paid for with our $30 ticket... this to me didn't sound like it was worth $30 so when they expected us to pay for good drinks, or drink keg beer for free... guess which I chose? I'll give you a hint... I woke up the next morning with a hangover and money in my pocket. BAD Jenny!
That next morning was not so good... in fact the whole day was bad. I was so sick I didn't eat all day for fear of throwing it up. Serves me right!
You would have thought I learned my lesson, but on the way back home, at DIA all my stomach was hungry for was some cheese bread from Pizza Hut... Yep, I ate it all, and I regretted it later. BAD Jenny!
I finally got home and told myself to get back on track, but I was still so tired and had nothing in my house to eat since I'd been gone for 5 days, that I laid on the couch all day and ate the only thing I had in my freezer (which I still can't believe I missed when I cleaned it out), Some Pilsbury Biscuits. Yummy, but so not good. BAD Jenny!
After that, I slowly got back on track which leads me to last nights 3 mile walk with my dog and this mornings awesome breakfast of bacon, eggs, and veggies, and a great walk and work out this morning! GOOD JENNY!!
I guess what I'm saying is that yes, I messed up, but I'm not letting it completely derail my efforts. I'm back on the horse and ready to ride! Today is going to be a GREAT day!
GOOD JENNY!!
