So yesterday I weighed in at 157.9! Started at 167.2 so nearly 10 pounds lost.
And then I binged. I ate a lot of junk. We all get the urge from time to time, and I gave in.
But I tracked it! I recorded everything I ate. The goldfish, the candy, the protein bars. All of it.
At the end of the day, I ate 2,990 calories. (For reference, I try to eat between 1,550 and 1,750 depending on exercise). So basically double my daily intake.
But it’s really not the end of the world. I was still alive, so I was still burning calories. At the end of the day, I have a surplus of ~1,100 calories.
Big deal! Who cares? I can burn that off in two days!
It’s a roadbump, not a brick wall. But I never would have known that if I didn’t track. It would have been this monster pit of shame and self-loathing.
That’s why you track your calories.
Here’s aiming for the big 10 next week.
