Doughnut Disaster

Ugh.  I've spent the last two weeks proving that stress + opportunity = overeating.

Since Easter, I've theoretically been on "phase 1" the most restrictive part of the South Beach Diet.  In practice, not so much.  We abandoned Phase 1 entirely over the weekend (pancakes Saturday morning and Pizza for dinner tonight), and that was the BEST part of the week.

We had a couple of minor problems at the office this week, both of which were coincidentally on the days when someone brought goodies.  So in a work week when I was supposed to be avoiding carbohydrates completely, I managed to eat four doughnuts and a slice of cake.

And the scale shows it. . . on March 23, I hit 222 pounds.  The next day, 221.  By the Monday after Easter I was back to 224.  Phase 1 was good to me the first half of the week, bringing me back down to 222 by Wednesday . . . but then the doughnut disaster happened, and by Friday I was back to 225.  Other than pizza crust and pancakes, I've behaved over the weekend, and Friday was pretty good.

And, most importantly, I exercised hard over the weekend.

And so I was back down to 223 this morning.   Hoping next week is better than last.
