I made 2 stupid choices so far today-not that I'm going to beat myself up about them. But I'm going to vent about it and then forgive myself. The first was when I was grocery shopping and they were giving out samples of Bush's chili. I had some and didn't even think about whether or not it had gluten until I went to buy it and checked the label. Sure, enough. Wheat starch. It was only about an eighth of a cup, but my stomach is gurgling and getting bloated. I'll be more careful next time. I'm still getting the hang of this celiac diet.
Then I bought marshmallows to possibly make some gluten-free rice krispie treats. And I ate a bunch of marshmallows in the car on the way home. Probably about a cup, I've estimated. What a waste of calories. Just pure sugar.
I also injured my arm yesterday doing my yoga video. I thought it would be okay and did my strength training today, but now it hurts worse than ever. Tomorrow I'm going to have to do a workout that uses no arms at all.
I reconfigured my targets and my goals to lose weight. What a difference it made in my calorie targets. It is so much lower than what I'm used to. I'm bummed about that. But I really want to lose about 10 pounds. As long as I keep exercising, I think I can keep within those targets. I always have a bowl of light icecream before I go to bed. I have decided to have a snack pack of sugar free pudding instead on some nights-still allow myself the icecream on a couple nights. There are so fewer calories in the pudding and I still felt satisfied last night.
Oh, and the oatmeal cookies are finally gone-so those won't be tripping me up anymore. At least until I make Valentine cookies for my son's party.
Okay. All is forgiven. Let's start fresh and do well the rest of today.
