Last week was a better week for me eating wise overall. I was not perfect. 5 of the 7 days I logged everything. 2 of the 5 days I had perfect eating days where the calories and nutrients were right in range. 2 of the other days I was off on calories or nutrients by a small margin.

Yesterday I logged all my food but I was crazy off on nutrients and calories. I started yesterday off with an 8 mile long run. After the long run I ate perfectly to full my body and I knew we had a graduation party and I did not want to be too hungry. At the party I ended up eating a hamburger, a brat (both with bun) and a cupcake. The positive side about the party. In the past I would have eating everything the main dishes and all the sides (a couple of servings) I ate the veggies and fruit, a little bit of beans and just a couple of chips (not even a handful). I know with everything I ate is sounds crazy but I really did control my urges at the party. I ate exactly what I wanted and then there was no more obsessing about food. So CK said I was OK calories wise including every exercise calorie but the nutrients were crazy.

The other 2 days that I did not log were days were I was not home or at work most of the day and honestly I just cannot remember what I ate those days. I know I was not perfect but I am not dwelling on anything. I am using this time to relect on the postive and get into a good mindset for this week.

Another positive for me as that I am truly seeing that sugar is addicting. I always felt I had to have something sweet every single day and wanted to make sure any plan that I had would allow me to have sweets. But now that I am working on keeping my nutrients in check I can see and feel in my body that if I have something that has a lot of sugar in it, I want more! I now see the value not eating high sugar items. I am still working on the emotional part of not having to have that cupcake BUT this is still a great step!
