Saturday, Jul 19 2008 - Friday's Dog Show
View MOUGHI's food & exercise for this day
Fridays dog show was a lot of fun. I got to stay all the way to the end of the night and watch Animal Planet the Best of Breed Competition. I may even be on TV since I was in the second row behind this cute Scottish terrier who could bark on cue.Max, the terrier, would bark for the dogs his owner liked and make a lot of noise for the TV crew when they wanted him too. So, he will probably make it on TV. He was a sweet animal who got tired and rested his head on my hands at one point in the night. It reminded me so much of Gambit. I learned a lot about certain breeds and got to watch many professional handlers vs. the avg. joe handler. You can tell the difference between the pros and the little guys.
I did well through out the day food wise since I bought my own food. It wasn't until late that night that I blew it. I think the stress of the past few days and not sleepy well caught up to me because I ate a real binge of about 500-600 calories over the course of a few hours since I couldn't get to sleep that night. I consider a binge an over eating excursion that goes beyond 300 calories or more in one sitting or over a small period of time. I haven't done this in over a good year. I have had 300 calorie dings, but not 600 calories binges in a long, long time. Today, I logged in everything and kept an eye out on my food totals so as not to be just horrible today. It's too bad I couldn't make it to the gym today to help out with some of those extra calories, but tomorrow I will get in some walking at the dog show even tough we are taking the scooter. It is a good thing that I logged my over eating because it helped me watch what I ate today and helped me make my food choices today. It also helped me make my exercising choices for tomorrow. I am now aware that when under stress and when I can't sleep, I am very vulnerable to overeating. I will have to develop some techniques to help me when I am like this.
Speaking of tired, I just wanted to update everyone on how things are going. Thanks for all the support. I will try to catch up on blogs Sunday. MUst go and get some sleep now. Bye

I crave carbs when I'm tired....and stressed too. Good job in getting back on track. A true binge is much worse than that....you just ate past what you planned.... give yourself credit for not continuing. Don't try to make up for it....just go on from here. What kind of art work do you do? ---yes when I'm painting I am totally absorbed in what I'm doing and can forget about everything.

You have a really good strategy for moving forward. Yesterday has passed. 600 calories is not even 1/4 of what you need to eat to gain a pound, so you have the right attitude! Good for you for pre-planning the majority of your day~~ glad you had fun at the dog show!
