Dream body journey - RELAPSE

I don't know what's going on. Today started pretty ok. I was actually in a very good mood, did a very good meditation (actually, the meditation was so good that I didn't want to finish - surprising!!) - anyway...


So, I was very busy. So busy that I didn't have time to workout this morning - or, I probably was just not motivated to workout. I tried to have leftover watermelon for breakfast. Turned out the fruit no longer good. So I left home with an empty stomach, with a bottle of water.


I didn't have to work today (except for a few emails), but I'm currently working on a personal project which required me to run tons of errands this morning. So here I was, empty stomach-ed, ... and I walk and shopped for over 3 hours until I got a bit dizzy. That was before my last stop shopping: the grocery store!


I just remembered a few minutes ago that one shouldn't grocery shop on an empty stomach. And that's exactly what I did. I was going in for yogurts and fruit juices for my girls. I left the grocery store with Madeleine cakes, three baguettes, 5 avocados (got one for free) and a Vietnamese salad (noodles, shrimp, chicken breast, mint, cilantro, etc.).


Which, do you think, were the unnecessary and potent articles on my grocery bags?? Yep!


I got home, hungry, and had half of my salad, a couple of cakes, then another piece that I shared with BBgirl #1, then shared another with BBgirl#2.... Before leaving this morning, I had left a whole chicken to thaw for tonight's dinner. I wanted to make a Moroccan tajine with raisins, pickled ginger and picked lemons). That was before my honey told me he wanted to take me out to a new Japanese restaurant tonight. I knew we were going on tonight, but the chicken was already out so, I couldn't put it back to the fridge. So I cooked my chicken with the intent to leave it in the fridge and save myself cooking time tomorrow. You probably think I ate some of the chicken? But no, I didn't.


Instead, I cooked one tortilla to make cheese quesadilla (shredded emmentaler cheese, crushed tomatoes), with a side of a piece of avocado (from my shopping adventure earlier) salad.


This is what I call "BIG TIME RELAPSE".


Lessons learned:
1) never skip breakfast
2) never leave the house on empty stomach, especially if I have to walk for hours
3) motivation is a matter of every day, ever hour, every minute almost. I got too comfortable feeling that I got this thing down, when I didn't OBVIOUSLY!
4) Gotta start over again. I don't even wanna look at the scale. It's too scary to think that I made all these efforts to go back to square one.


My plan:
1) No looking back - gotta move forward. So I'll try to do double dose this evening with the workout
2) Activate LOA for dream body to help with the motivation
3) Make a better food plan for the next few days, especially since my mother-in-law is coming tomorrow and that we're planning on going to an all-you-can-eat beach resort for the week-end.


HELPPPPPP!
