So, I proceeded to eat like it was my job and feel like absolute crap today! I ate a huge steak (and I don't eat red meat very often anyway), a stuffed mushroom, some asiago cheese bread, but I did manage to shovel down some salad with balsalmic vinegar and a healthy serving of asparagus. To make sure I completely cancelled all the benefits of my veggies, I had 2 glasses of wine with dinner and a couple vodka tonics with a slice of strawberry cheesecake for dessert!
I'm now using this thread as my confessional and must confess that I felt guilty while I was stuffing my face and mad at myself for doing that being that I woke up so sick today, I don't even have enough strength left to get my Workout A, #2 in today.  Damn holidays!!!
I am going to force myself to at least get out and go for a brisk walk tonight--maybe bust into a jog if I'm feeling it (but I doubt it).
I know a cheat meal won't kill anyone, but it's just a sad lesson in your body's response to over-feeding it. I'm glad that my body is tuned to punish me, but MAN! When I think back to how I used to eat, it's a wonder I was ever able to leave my house! |
I hear ya on this one, Lori!!! DH and sit and talk about it sometimes - the CRAP we used to eat was just ridiculous! And although I haven't done it recently, I know what you mean about the response to over-eating! Feeling sick for a day or two just cuz you ate something that you are no longer used to!! BTW - that sounds like an AWESOME meal!
