"I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. And I
don't want to get to the end, or to tomorrow, even, and realize that my
life is a collection of meetings and pop cans and errands and receipts
and dirty dishes. I want to eat cold tangerines and sing loud in the car
with the windows open and wear pink shoes and stay up all night
laughing and paint my walls the exact color of the sky right now. I want
to sleep hard on clean white sheets and throw parties and eat ripe
tomatoes and read books so good they make me jump up and down, and
I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad He gave life to
someone who loves the gift." --Shauna Neiquist

Day 9 of 28

I binged last night...for the first time in almost six months. I just don't get my psychological issues sometimes. I know a lot of it is emotional, but I've not even THOUGHT about bingeing since I went vegan. I think it might have been a combination of all the emotions flying around my family this weekend and the fact that I'm counting calories for this month. I don't usually do well with the whole counting thing. Makes me go extreme one way or the other. Oh, well. Today is a new day.


Update: drank tea all morning because I just couldn't eat with all that food still in my system, then went for my run on my lunch break. Felt sluggish, but made it through. :) Week Six, baby!!

Food was much better today. I still ate "off plan" some at supper, as my calories were way low for the day due to my tea morning, but I made good choices.

I am NOT going to allow a couple of rough days to define me. I am stronger and more determined than that! My goal for now is to finish this week strong and gain some momentum going into the weekend. I don't think I'll take a high-cal day again...I'm thinking that might have been part of what set me off last weekend. Live, learn, adapt, yeah? :)
