SOS

Keep in mind, splurging every so often sometimes helps weight loss!

HELP! I am having a hard day! It all started last night when I went out with an old friend and had 4 miller lights. THEN I had a small crab cake and we split sweet potato fries. Well I don't go out much so those 4 miller lights pretty much made me feel like crap so when I got up at 4:45 to work out, I barely got thru my first set before being done. I ohnly burned 160 calories. Then I ate panera bread for breakfast with a pumpkin spice latte. ...I chalked it to hangover food.
THEN I brought my pot roast left overs for lunch. I did bring my running clothes and I am going after work, but I sitll feel like garbage so I dont know what good that is going to do me.
HELP! I feel like I am on a downard slope!

Drinking Peach De-tox to help me feel better but it burnt my tounge!

Every so often, I too need a reminder of what drinking too much can do and the after effects. Here is my recommendation - drink lots of water to help the liver and kidneys detox your body today. Try to limit your exercise - because your body is really working hard to deal with what you did to it last night. Go to bed early tonight to help make up for the lack of "real" rest (not alcohol induced) that your body had to deal with. Then get up tomorrow and start over fresh. Make a mental/visual note of how you feel today, what you did last night, and the outcome of that, and keep that in a place you can access it readily for the next time you are out with your friends. You can remind yourself - wow that was really not good, so won't do that again - I will drink one beer, then a glass of water or a soda, and then after a while maybe drink a 2nd beer. I certainly won't have 4 because that just didn't feel good the next day.

Good luck.

Don't be so hard on yourself. Just make sure tomorrow that you get back on track. Remeber when you go out be careful of what you are ordering, maybe eating before you go will help you maintain control.:flowerforyou:

Jenn,
It's ok - we have to be able to live a little and know we can return to our healthy ways with the next meal. Like the others said drink lots of water and try to get in the bed early tonight - I know impossible with small kids and a house to keep up but even 15 or 30 minutes will make you feel like a million dollars tomorrow.

Glad you turned your day around! I know how it can feel when things kind of start spiraling downhill. The most important thing to do when this happens is to recognize it (but don't beat yourself up about it), and move on. Start making better choices right away...and that's exactly what you did! Good for you!
