Okay, I said that I would post honestly so here it goes. Last night after I created my FB page to post my blog to I ate so many chocolate chips. I mean handfuls of chocolate chips. That didn't seem like enough so I topped it off with Natures Path Organic Cereal!!! Within an hour or so I was so high on sugar and caffeine (since I don't normally consume much of it unless its natural sugar such as coconut palm sugar, pure maple syrup, honey or madjool dates) that I thought I was having a bloody heart attack. My heart was pounding, my arm was tingling and I felt so sick. Not to mention that while I laid awake on this sugar rush my newborn slept the night away (SHE SLEPT 8 HRS) which I didn't get to benefit from!!!! Shit!

I'm not going to punish myself by working out extra hard or eating next to nothing those are old habits. I have learned that we have good days and bad and today is a new day. Along with my goal of walking this week I will be keeping a food journal until Sunday. Apparently writing your food intake down brings your success rate up substantially! I will post my journal online for you to see on Sunday. I don't plan to be perfect so see what you think on Sunday!

  1. If only we could bottle the feeling after a binge... we would never do it again! Good on ya for chalking it up to a bad day and starting fresh today... punishing ourselves is never going to work!

  2. Exactly and another reason to pay attention to how you feel eating certain foods. Clearly my body did not appreciate this binge!!!
