after three weeks of eating like crap and two weeks of skipping out on the gym i'm back on plan. i ate so bad at disney its not even funny. big huge pretzels, pizza, fries, 300 calorie frozen lemonades, CANDY, you name it - i probably ate it. whatever, its over and done with and i'd like to try and put it behind me! i'm actually feeling pretty optimistic with the school year starting. i'll have a lot of structure and hard work so sitting around picking on whatever i see won't be an option. yeah, kids birthdays and faculty meetings filled with bagels and coffee cakes will be a problem but those aren't really my weaknesses so i should be okay (i hope!).

i'm thinking about getting a croc pot and making meals ahead of time. i dunno though...microwaving is so much easier - ha! pros/cons?

i've eaten everything in sight for the past two days...
i don't know why i get into moods like this - 4 days good, 2-3 days binge, healthy, binge. its one big shitty cycle, over and over and over again.
WHY CAN'T I JUST HAVE A NORMAL FUCKING RELATIONSHIP WITH FOOD?
i feel like crap. :(

activity:
3 mile walk/jog (i was the only one at the track - its too hot!)

i thought i was okay with last weeks mysterious two pound gain but i guess not because the next day i went a little nutso. after a bad week "off" i'm trying to get back into the swing of things...

PS - kashi's new cherry dark chocolate bars are awesome!

I'm annoyed that I gained this week considering I did everything a-ok.
Stayed within points - check
Exercise - check
Water - check
The weird thing is that I FEEL smaller. I feel like my clothes have been fitting better and when I look in the mirror I think I look tighter. Maybe I ate something salty? Maybe my body is trying to tell me something? Maybe I need to eat more? Maybe its because my period *should* be here in a few days? Who knows? At least I feel pretty good. :)

i don't know why but the past three or four fridays (the day before i weigh in) have been little binge days. its weird, i start out with some dry cereal which i don't buy for myself and is 4 points per cup. i tell myself "just one", then its "two is okay", and finally "the last one". the end result is 12 points of cereal and me feeling STARVED! i'm thinking i wait till the end of the week because then i know that i have XX flex points left to blow. i'm not over my flex points for the week but it isn't exactly a healthy behavior and i'd like to end it. i could kick myself. the cereal does NOTHING for me so why do i keep the cycle going?

hmph.
