Day 19
Weight 204 (down .6 of the feast day pounds)
So I checked my diet calendar for feast day and I was only 800 or so calories about what I "burned" that day ... theoretically speaking. I guesstimated the calories in the cake, there may have been more ... but even still it was mathematically impossible to gain 5 lbs from the calories I consumed.
No ... doit2it ... it wasn't 5 lbs of guilt. Guilt? Foods aren't bad and I am not bad if I eat them. I am not particularly fond of the word guilt. Guilt, to me, implies feeling badly, triggers "beating up on yourself", all tied up in being "naughty," labels like "bad girl" "bad boy" pop into my head. Whether I eat 5000 calories or 500 calories in a day it doesn't determine whether I am "good" or "bad." I do not believe there are "bad" foods. There are foods that have more nutritional value than others, there are foods that may agree with me more than others, there are foods some people cannot tolerate, but there are no "bad" foods. Sorry if I appear intense about this ... and doit2it may have been joking around but this is something I feel strongly about.
I didn't eat a lot yesterday. Eggs & bacon for breakfast and then salad bar for dinner, sticking to very low carb veggies and protein on the salad bar (1 hard boiled egg, ham, chicken, cheese, mushrooms, onions, bell peppers). Funny how the flucts can go up overnight but take a while to come back down. Oh I drank a lot of water yesterday too!! And I did exercise for an hour on the elliptical. No worries here ... I am seeing 198, 197 in my future!!!
Let's see ... today is a partial home, partial work day. I have a group to facilitate for my side business this afternoon ... but no State of Idaho work today, taking a vacation day again. Hubby has plans to do his own Christmas Stocking Stuffer shopping and a quick trip to his uncles to work on one of his guns. Today is my mother's REAL birthday ... and she is with friends ... no doubt having a lovely time.
Oh I need coffee!!! But quickly ... gratefulness.
I am grateful today for ...
... learning so much about my body.
... spending time with my husband yesterday.
... having two days in a row last week I got to spend one-on-one time with my mom!!
... warm boots.
... paid vacation days.
Have a lovely day full of self-kindness!!!

Good morning, Carol....loved reading about your spike day! Sounds lovely and fun. I agree with you, no guilt, no bad foods, just ones that aren't kind to your body, as in can't process them the way we should. Love you, my beautiful, wonderful, healthy, happy, 50-something friend! HUGS!

ok...catching up here. SOunds like a wonderful birthday cake. I think this diet is particularly interesting. So many people are able to lose their weight with a strict program and then feel like they can never have a bite of cake. This diet allows you to have it all for one day- seems like an excellent balance. Can't wait to watch the scale decend this week : )

Moose, see it this way: to lose a pound of fat, you need to have a deficit of calories of 3500. I don't think it's an exact science, but it's a general rule. So, if you gain 5 lbs overnight and it's supposedly all fat, then you'd have to miscalculate 17,500 calories MORE THAN YOU BURN that day. So that's what - 20,000 calories in a day? I'm pretty sure that didn't happen. Even if you went nuts on your Indulgence Day. :)

Good advice on this journal, and kindness too. I think not having negative thoughts is just as important to lose the upfluct so I can see what Doit meant by guilt weight. Actually, Im not going back to read anyones comment just from what you mention. Kudos for enjoying and moving along. No feeling bad for enjoying or not enojoying...its done :) ah... warm boots... me need!

Tuesday - g'morning friend. You didn't overstep by asking me about not entering my weights. Partly its because I don't have access to the scale I used when I was at the beginning of this journey. My home scale is difficult to read, so I would be guestimating, and the other reason is I know I am up, it varies between 185 and 190 some days. Yikes. I don't want to record that. I am just sticking my head in the sand! I gotta get back on track but just can't seem to do it. I know you've been there done that. Hope I find the power from somewhere!
