Obstacle of the week- a big time cold. Tough to be active when you feel like crap. I did eat my Jenny Craig food and stayed in bed a couple days. After a weekend that could have created a frustrating weigh in session I made a good recovery by sticking with the plan. I did delay the "weigh" day by one day so as not to infect my weight loss counselor. It worked out OK for a Holiday week mixed with a huge cold I still managed to lose exactly one pound for a grand total of 11.8 pounds in 5 weeks. Right on track. This week I am hoping for a 2-3 pound week. Well. I always hope for that. It seems it goes big week little week. Not so many challenges this wee so I am hopeful. So once I have some energy, I am back to work, the yoga studio and back on my bike. Not feeling like partying this weekend but you never know when that feeling will kick in. Meal on my own tonight is stuffed mushroom and raw tuna (Poki') YUMMY
So the stupid thing of the week. Misread a label. Instead of eating a 120 calorie yogurt I enjoyed the hell out of a 230 calorie Greek style yogurt. It was so damn good then I read the label again and almost barfed. Not really. Jack was kind enough to buy yogurt for me and what he saw was the fat calories. I ate the first one yesterday just finished the second. I even text him that it was the best yummy yogurt I have ever had , and that is, because it was full of fat! AHHH!!! Those calories should not count as I did not mean to eat them I should get some sort of "do-over" This is frustrating. I do not think an error of the yogurt kind will end me but it does piss me off! I could have had real ice cream for those calories!
I was watching TV because I am sick and there was a commercial for a pregnancy test that said " your body knows you're pregnant before you do!" They are trying to say that me and my body are 2 different entities and that body is hip to things before I am. My body knows things before my brain does? Evolution should work on this. They may have a point. My body knew about the extra yogurt calories before I did. The extra calories were stored long before my brain reread the label and freaked out. This is kind of tripping me out. Why can't we, me and my body become one, maybe a little communication?
So if "we" are two separate entities I will use this analogy. I feel a bit like a renter. I am a tenant in this big old broken down log cabin and I want to move or renovate into a sleek modern contemporary condo. A tall challenge. So I went from being 2 entities into different architecture metaphors. NyQuil is a potent drug.
This is getting weird I am going to go back to bed now right after I feed the dogs the rest of the best yogurt I have ever had.
This is a slow process and I hate it.
