This weekend has been weird. On Friday my husband and I went to a lake and I ate Dorito's for the first time in months; then we went kayaking for two and a half hours. On Sunday I had Baked Lay's chips and too much cereal, but I did my P90x cardio. Then tonight I ate 3 slices of french toast and 5 strips of bacon...then went running for 20 minutes in hot weather. It's like I'm torn. I'm so used to this healthy lifestyle, yet my body still craves the old food. The only thing I can think to do is choose to not have the unhealthy stuff. I threw out the Baked Lay's bag (which was almost half full). What's wrong with Baked Lay's? Nothing...except I can eat the whole bag in one sitting!
The book Weight Loss Boss by the president and CEO of Weight Watchers talks about managing your environment. He says that willpower is HIGHLY overrated. If you manage your environment (ie. throwing out the chips, not frequenting fast food places, keeping lots of fresh fruits and veggies in the house), then it is much, much easier to maintain a healthy lifestyle. I suppose that's what I have to do, which is what I've been doing except for this weekend. I need to get back to the "no junk food" thing, put on motivation every day, and do my exercises in a timely manner (I have a habit of skipping them if I wait too late in the day). Just refocusing.
