The week was a bust. I have to be honest. I don't know what go into me. I felt the need to feast and feast some more. I could blame it on the multiple treats at work for "Nurses Week" . I was well behaved on Mooday and then it all went down hill from there. Tooosday there was a big breakfast and then our Cinco De Mayo lunch party. I tried to be better on Wednesday. But couldn't resist the leftovers. Thursday the liaisons showered us with bagels and delicious breakfast sandwiches. Friday I had the day off. Greg and I headed to LBI for a little R&R. And I just failed my plan. But it was all very delicious.
This morning I stepped on the scale, yep a day early, and I was back up to 130.4 lbs. Ughhhhhh partaking in those parties was not a wise choice. One would think that I would have made a mends. Tomorrow is "Mother's Day" and I will be heading to Willow Grove to pick up my mom and off to the ball game we will go. Have you ever tried being "good" at a stadium? Impossible. The scent of deliciousness invades your nostrils the moment you exit the car. Needless to say I will partake.
Okay......It's time for a doooooo over
Monday will soon arrive and I need a fool proof plan. Remember that failure to plan is a plan to fail. I guess I planned to fail this past week. So, tomorrow is a new day. And I am planning, planning planning.
Recently a co-worker gave me a book to read. "The 17 Day Diet". I plan to read a few chapters today and use some of the concepts. I did glance through it. And there is a chapter for PMS. And a few recipes that look promising. Looks like it follows very similar guidelines to a few other diets I have tried. I am liking what I have seen so far. Not a protein shake to be had. There are 4 phases to their plan. The four A's. Accelerate, Activate, Achieve and Arrive. The Accelerate phase is quite similar to what I planned on doing the past week and a half (minus the pizza and other things). Perhaps I will shake things up this week and implement the four A's. Just need to read and prepare.
