Shelley's Week

Well after having such an awesome week last week, I completely fell off of the wagon this week.  I ate everything I saw including fried food, a pan of rocky road brownies, and a half of a pan of lemon bars.  (But they were really good brownies and lemon bars!!)  Luckily I didn't completely flake on exercise, but I think I'd have had to run to the moon and back to work off everything that passed over my lips.  So I ended the week 2 pounds heavier than I started.  :(  

How is it that I can eat so healthy,  be so in control of my appetite, and feel like I could live that way forever (that was the first 3  weeks), and then I eat ONE thing that I shouldn't (ie:  rocky road brownie for breakfast) and that one thing turns into clearing the cupboards, refrigerator, and freezer of all junk food--all in one go?  What's the deal?  I don't think that I deprive myself; I've eaten "real" desserts a few days a week for the whole month.  And I don't have this list of "forbidden foods".  I'm allowed to eat whatever I want in moderation.  But something about that one brownie did me in.  It turned into the rest of the pan; which turned into the rest of my kitchen.  All was not lost after one brownie.  It was the 15,000 calories I ate afterwards that were the real problems!!

Oh well, all is still not lost.  I guess I'll go back to my carrot-cauliflower soup.  It is also really good.  Especially with a bit of fresh dill or a bit of red curry powder and a dollop of plain yogurt.  :)

So here's to a new week and and new month.  (Does anyone else just LOVE it when the 1st is on a Monday??)
