Honesty is a Frustrating Policy

I simultaneously love and hate myself for promising honesty in this blog! I want to tell you "Dude, guys, I didn't make any mistakes" but that'd be a big fat lie and no one likes that.  Besides, I don't want to set unrealistic expectations for how a weight-loss journey works.  The reality is, no journey is perfect. You just pick yourself back up and learn from it.

We're still dealing with the looming threat of financial difficulty and the power was out for the morning.  I couldn't make coffee, lunch, or breakfast and we were both in a poopy mood.  So, I let the stress get to me and we had pizza for dinner and a Starbucks breakfast.  

Normally, if I am about to overeat I am very careful to avoid remembering exactly what I ate.  I don't have to feel guilty if I don't pay attention, right?  This time, I logged it in MyFitnessPal. I didn't end with a calorie deficit but I held myself accountable to what I ate and found that it didn't ruin the progress I've made this week. That is so encouraging!! My off-day didn't ruin everything I worked for this week at all.  Of course, it did reduce the progress I've made but I can accept slowing down as long as I'm moving forward!

This morning I played some Dance Central with Mr. Husband.  Not surprisingly, it was a freaking blast and I burned some good calories. The newest game, Dance Central 3, has a two player mode where you can actually dance together which is AWESOME.  Though, I don't recommend it for smaller apartments as we ended up bumping into eachother and losing points for being offsides.
