Current weight: 172
No matter what I do, I can't seem to get my weight to decrease. Using couch to 5k and training, all while eating 1300 or less calories, seemed to do little to get that # down. Everything was completely anti-climactic due to us not being able to attend the actual Ugly Sweater Run (stupid snow).
Today, I had a moment of weakness. It lasted for about 5 minutes, but did 500+ calories worth of damage.
Every Christmas, my mother gets me a fruit cake from Swiss Colony, a company based in Wisconsin. If Wisconsin can do anything correct, its expertise lies in cheese, bratwurst, and other delectable fatty foods. Not surprisingly, Swiss Colony's fruitcakes kick ass.
Fruitcake is a mysterious treat--- a dense bread with jellied fruits and gigantic pecans. I realize that it's full of sugar, but I almost feel like it would be "healthier" to indulge in a burger, fries, and milkshake rather than a slice of fruitcake.
Anyway, within 5 minutes, I ate 1 1/2 servings of the fruitcake (serving size is 1/5 of the cake). I have to admit that it was "stress eating"---the type of eating that really irritates me since it is usually done in a flurry of unawareness.
A few hours later, and I feel dehydrated and sluggish. Things will be better tomorrow, but it is frustrating when I "try" to have healthy habits and see no type of outcome.
