Celebrating too soon..

So what did I do today?

I had a Daphne's vegetarian Combo Plate for a late lunch.
Damage done : 918 calories!!!
2/3 of my daily intake.
Problem was, I had already had another 300 cal just while waiting to get to the place. From 2pm to 2.30pm , when we had to pick up the 14yo to take her with us, I had some peanuts, and oreo cakester, 3 m&ms and that is approx 300 cal. Add the morning oatmeal and I am done for the day at 5.30 pm. So for the rest of the evening I can only have tea or water.

Why, why do I overeat on the rest days??. I have noticed that so many times. I think I will start walking everyday, maybe just 20 min on the rest days to remind myself of my challenge.

Well, the 2 pd loss was good while it lasted.

Soccer tournament tomorrow, so am running the taxi service again, so will have to plan when to do the LSD-6 miles, maybe while shes playing the 2nd game?

i am the same on rest days, and i hate it! there always seems to be more junk/calorie-loaded food around on my off day for some reason. i usually aim for 1800 on an off day and i think i was more at like 2500 - and almost all of that was just junk. :(

we all have our weaknesses but luckily we run enough so it doesn't do too much damage (hopefully?) good luck getting back on track although i don't doubt you will!
