Thanksgiving Bloat

My plan to watch what I ate while I was in Texas failed miserably.

I ended up weighing in a pound heavier the Wednesday that we left for Arlington and my gluttonous ways continued through our 5 days away. Since we were back in Texas, of course we had to eat Tex-Mex and BBQ, as well as gorge on Thanksgiving dinner and pretty much everything else that was in my parents' house! I also consumed an obscene amount of wine during the course of the holiday, but it was all very fun and festive.

I paid the price for my bad ways by gaining 2.6 lbs when I weighed in last Wednesday. What is annoying is that I weighed myself on Tuesday morning and I had only gained 1.2 lbs, so somehow I managed to gain 1.4 lbs overnight before my weigh in. It makes no sense at all and this increase in weight just made me feel even more bloated and gross.

Despite eating veggie soup and fruit for the first two days that I returned to Vegas, I've gone back to pigging out. After a booze and food binge, I always find it hard to get back on the healthy wagon. I'm not sure if my body craves sugar and fat even more because it got used to having that on a daily basis, or whether my stomach grew. Either way, it makes being healthy even harder than it normally is.

I want to eat better because I've felt blah and yucky all week. I feel doughy and like my boobs and arms have grown huge. I only exercised once all week and my butt was a jiggly - in a major way.

Even if it kills me, tomorrow HAS to be a fresh start.
