6 days (Halloween)

Boo!
It's Halloween and I totally blew it.  I blew it even before I started into the Halloween candy.  I just plain blew it. 

My morning weigh in was good.  My numbers so far are:

                -7 Days   -6 Days
Weight      162.8      162.6
BF%            36.6       36.2
W%             46.6       46.5
Bflbs            59.6      58.8
TBW           75.6       75.6

I had a good breakfast, and okay lunch and then got a little too relaxed at dinner.
Breakfast- 2 eggs scrambled
Lunch- Asian salad
Dinner- Asian Salad, coleslaw and 2 Italian sausages loaded with sodium

As if the high sodium sausages were not bad enough, after supper we opened the Halloween candy.  First, I opened a Laffy Taffy, took a small bite of the already bite-sized candy and passed the rest to my husband, afterall, "I just wanted a taste".  I went on to do this with each flavor of the Laffy Taffy.  Next was a Reese Peanut Butter Cup.  Then I had another one.  Then I needed to remember what Starburst taste like.  Next was a Snickers and then a whole Laffy Taffy.  Now, the 'old' Jana probably would have eaten 5x that amount and not felt at all guilty about it.  So with that perspective, this was a victory.  However, if I am being real with myself, this was a failure.  I wanted to be strong enough to not desire these foods, and I was not.

My mood after eating all that sugar was not 'happy'.  I'm not sure if it's the guilt or what it is, but I just feel bitchy and disappointed in myself.  It's 10:30 pm now and Halloween is over.  The next obstacle will be Christmas.  It will always be something and I will have to dig deep and find a greater resolve.  Tonight I will do my penance on my recumbent bike and hopefully burn off some of the excess energy before it gets stored as fat.  As always, tomorrow is a new day.  It's an opportunity to do better. 

Good night, eat right
