Surprise! Aunt Flo sneaks up on me.

Deer in headlights.

Hey ya'll!  The past 3 days I've been pre-occupied and having very bad eating days.  Lets have a look shall we?  I've been CRAVING tomatoes (i know, weird) and anything mexican. So, I've been stuffing myself (grazing) all day with crunchy little carbs loaded with salsa.  Made myself sick a few times (not swooshing or dumping, just stoopid overeating) Then in a culmination of the stoopidity, yesterday I was alone in the house and ended up chewing up and spitting out 1. a handful of caramel popcorn 2. a package of cheese crackers 3. and finally.....1/2 a cup of chocolate chips.  Spit it all down the garbolator and washed my mouth out really good.  I know it sounds bad, I hate admitting that I do it but IT IS WHAT IT IS.  NOW I know why I did it.  Stay with me, its not over.  Took family to gym and felt like SHIT ( prolly because most of those things had dairy in them and you just cant wash every bit of it out of your mouth, no matter how diligently you try) Came home and took a nap. Woke up thinking of food (crunchycarbs anyone?) Then BOOM!, started my period. HA! I thought I was going crazy but NOPE, I'm sane...its just my stoopid body. So, this morning I had 1/2 a grapefruit and am drinking my water. I feel better. I'm back to planning my eating. Like today att 11 I'll have a nice salad with some protein which will hold me over till about 3.  I'll have 1/2 a Detour bar (always in my purse) and concentrate on water until dinner tonight.  A lunchpack of tuna with a few wheat crackers. Maybe a fruit for snack before bed. Ahhhhhhhhhhh, thats better. No working out today, I deserve a day off.

Just to clarify: I dont do the whole "chew and spit" on a daily basis. In fact I've prolly only done it 5 times since the surgery (i bet it was always just before Aunt Flo too!) I dont feel like its becoming a habit or that its detrimental to my physical health, its just embarrassing when I admit it. Nuff said.

I stuck to my plan (pretty much) and just LOOK at those totals! Awesome. I burned about 350 calories walking today so add that to my cal total. Went shopping while the family was at the gym, I tell you what, 150 bucks just doesnt buy much these days. The shitty thing about trying to feed everyone healthy food is that it costs a fortune. I really hate having only one income.  Anyway I have to hit the hay, my eyeballs are burning. Tata.
