christyj77Today I cheated on my Keto diet. I wasn’t going to blog about, but then I remembered I promised to own up to my own bullshit, so here we are. I don’t know why I did it. Maybe it was because I weighed myself and I was disappointed when I hadn’t lost anymore weight since last Weds. I shouldn’t have weighed myself yet I know better. It could have been because I just couldn’t walk by the brownies the kids made one more time without eating one. Maybe it was because we’ve been stuck in the house for 9 days straight quarantining. Maybe it was because I haven’t been able to go to the gym because we have been in quarantine. Maybe it was a combination of all of the above.
One mistake turned into an entire afternoon of stuffing my face with carbs, it all started with the brownies, then it was the Girl Scout cookies, followed up with glasses of milk and coffee with real cream and sugar. I almost went and bought a Mt. Dew to top off my shitty afternoon. James talked me out of it. By the time it was dinnertime I was determined to try to recoup some of the day. I’m bloated from overeating and a headache is making my brain hurt. I feel guilty because I couldn’t control myself this afternoon. In my mind I know my mantra should be progress not perfection, but I’m having a hard time accepting that truth today. I know it’s because one afternoon of gorging wrecks the progress I have made in the past week. While it doesn’t necessarily negate everything, ketosis is hard to get into and it will take me another 2-3 days to get back to where I was. Damn brownies.
One day at a time. Some the day is good, the best, and some days you fail. Humans are not prefect. The days are not good you forgive and try to be better, but it your life. The guilty everyday isn’t good. The Bible’s is so many lessons to forgive, that means you too! (Sorry the stroke, I can’t text to good 😔 but everyday I’m trying to be better! ❤)
