My wife returned for a couple days between her tour and all hell has broken loose. The garbage that has gone in my body is outstanding. I wish I could say I was making it up, but I literally have eaten some of the the most diliscously wonderful carb things which include Pizza, Sushi, Dairy Queen, and a Peanut Butter and Jelly Bacon Burger (yes you read that right). Although my workouts have remained steady, my eating habits have struggled.
A friend at work and I often take turns buying lunch for one another. Usually from one of two places. Chipotle or Cafe Rio (the other chipotle). Today we did Cafe Rio and I did the pork salad. Its a wonderful blend of green lettuce and sweet pork that is place above a fresh flour tortilla. I usually skip the tortilla if I can, but lately I can't. Its all juicy and soft and so delicious.
It's not like I have put any weight on. I am still in a great place to be, but I get so mad at myself for not having better balance. There isn't anything wrong with eating the occasional treat, but when you jam a bunch of carbs together that's when they start to really effect me. If it was an occasional low carb item It would be fine, but one thing leads to another and the door to temptation is wide open. Ugh!
I know I will get back on track here soon and that I shouldn't beat myself up, but I just want to stay strong and not make stupid spontaneous decisions. I need to think long term here.
All that to say, its 12:50pm and I have already surpassed my carb count for the day. :(
