Day 208-209 Oh No He Di'n't, Oh Wait, He Did.... Dang IT!
So the best laid plans and all you know. I kinda decided to go against the plan for Super Bowl Sunday, take the chains completely off, and just do what I have always done for Super Bowl Sunday, to the tune of 6 peices of pizza, a few twice baked mini potatoes, and three, count'em folks, three cupcakes. Wanna know what I learned from all that? I don't eat like that anymore. Not only was it not fulfilling, it made me physically ill. It not only didn't make me want to go back to eating like a pig on crap food, it took me exactly the other way. I have had a brand new appreciation for the way I eat now and the way it makes me feel so much better. It was really, honestly and truly a joy to get back to my calorie counting today. I kid you not. I had this pain in my gut last night, it was just not cool. I felt tired and sluggish when I woke up this morning. The only saving grace was the endorphin high I got from this mornings jog. It was awesome-er than usual today. I also had a great walk at lunch. I got hard headed about the fact that the sun was out today and I was determined to walk outside at the park. Well I did it, and about lost all my extremities to frost bite..... and would do it all again baby! it was great! I got 2 1/4 miles jogging and 2 1/4 miles walking in today. And I have been lower than usual for my calorie count. Out of a negative, comes a positive. A brand new appreciation for all the things I have come to take for granted in this great journey!

Pure and utter proof that you are a changed man - never going back!!!
ReplyDeleteI bet it went in as a negative and came out as a positive-good poops are hard to come by! On a serious note, that is some serious food, I would have chucked all over, after thoroughly enjoying it, of course. Hey, back on the horse-great run, good job!!

I can't wait until I feel the same way. While I had a week long binge and didn't feel all that great during or after, it's still a hard habit to break.
ReplyDeleteI am inspired by your zest for walking and now jogging.
That's awesome. See we are not missing out on anything when it comes to eating like that. Great run today whoo hooo
ReplyDeleteIt's a great learning experience but here's a little tip from me....make sure you don't continue to push it with the food. You can EASILY re-train your body to eat junk food, so be very wary about eating trash in the next few days! I hope you're doing well Shane! Congrats on getting back on track today!
ReplyDeleteDropping by to say HI and root you on. I see your comments everywhere in the Blogland, and had to swing by. I see you have come a long way, good for you! You are an inspiration to many, and to us just starting out (again). ;)
