Don't Make a Mountain Out Of a Molehill

I was doing pretty good this week, not perfect but a step up from where I was before. Last night I took a tumble though. I think my hormones are still getting used to my new birth control and one tiny argument with my mother around 10pm just set me off. Yes, I am an emotional eater and my BFF, whom I normally vent to, was unavailable to talk at the time. One thing I must say, I'm very proud of myself for not turning to "junk" food. I did eat outside of my daily allotted amounts, but it was all natural food despite the two small bites of a cookie--which wasn't even appealing to me. I took that as a sign of stepping forward and away from the sugar addiction.

Today is simply upper body training. Yesterday was Tae Bo and my hamstring still gets quite sore when I sit with my leg fully extended in front of me (if sitting on the floor or bed) and if I sit indian-style too long. I'm not sure if rest will help or if that will cause it to get too stiff. My foot is also quite sore still and I don't want to push it too much, although my chiropractor told me that he wouldn't tell me to stop doing Tae Bo to let it heal because every time I put pressure on it or walk it's getting retorn and only time will help it heal. Plus, when doing Tae Bo it never hurts because I have great shoes on with my insoles and my wrap.

Recap of the day:

Training went well. I pushed myself further and lifted heavier. Lord knows when I wake up tomorrow morning I'll be feeling it. Meals went pretty well. I'm trying to incorporate more veggies into my meals/day but ever since doing a 12 week show plan, despite my not doing a show, that was encouraged by my former trainer, I've been a little scared of veggies. I was living on broccoli/green beans/peppers/fish or chix for 12 weeks. That was a little over a year ago and I still cannot look at broccoli the same way.

Anyways, my macros were higher than I would have liked for the day but still in fat loss mode. And of course I couldn't get through the day without an awful food temptation, right? My father decided to whip up his cheesecake with strawberry preserves/jelly on top! Last time he made this I'd sneak out into the kitchen when everyone had gone to bed and eat a few spoonfuls of it. Unfortunately this continued every night until it was gone. Although I do know I didn't eat it all--my family has quite the sugar addiction. It seemed that every day that I continued to eat "just a few bites" I wanted more and more. I think a few curse words flew out of my mouth when I opened the fridge and saw it lol but I did leave it alone.

I just have to remember, "If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always gotten."
