Thank you Venus for your advice - I used this past weekend to up my calories (hoping all that tequila from that Cinco de Mayo party sufficed!) and then after minor indulgences at a kid's bday party yesterday (a piece of cake maybe 4" combined dimensions, with a heaping tbsp of vanilla ice cream!), I loaded up on my special tea and hunkered down for the night.

Only managed to snag 30 min of cardio in over the past 2 days - they were very, very busy days....

This morning greeted me with vicious stomach cramps, shakes and cold sweats - a feeling that I hate to love. Really, what normal person craves that feeling?

That's my way of punishing myself for eating. And it's a good feeling. If my body wants to betray me by holding onto the weight, or throwing me into a c&s binge, then I'm gonna take the reigns and make it hurt. And acknowledging that only I have the power to change that feels great.

Sucky thing is, this weekend strained my injury, so I fear I'm bed-ridden today. Good thing I'm back to restricting today.

Started the day off with my 150 cal steel cut oats, about 10 cal for berries and with my 2 egg whites, I've rounded up a total of 177 cal.

Trying to fight this pain from my injury, but I don't think I can do anything about it. At least not today.

Going to pop some sleeping pills, that way I won't have to wake up until everyone comes home later on today. And if I'm sleeping, I can't be eating. ;)

Have a great day everyone! :)
