I was excellent last week with my eating habits. There were days when I was over my caloric intake by 300 or 400 calories; then everything was balanced out the next day with an extra 300 or 400 calories remaining at the end of the day.
Then, Carb-apalooza hit. It was a nightmare of my own creation. I had purchased a bag of animal crackers... a gigantic bag. Over the past three days, I've had this perpetual cycle of going into the pantry, grabbing 4 or 5 crackers, sealing the bag shut, and then devouring the crackers. Then, three minutes passes and I go back into the kitchen.
The animal crackers bag has 17 servings and, upon being half finished, I finally threw the bag in the trash. I threw it to the bottom of the trash too, beneath coffee grounds and other gross items I would not be tempted by whatsoever.
I haven't been to the gym since Friday, but it feels like it has been ages. It's amazing how your body can revert back to its old, lazy ways. It's not helping that I have a bit of the summertime blues. People can scoff at me all they want: "You have the whole summer off. What's there to complain about?" However, I sometimes do feel down in the summer. I have no idea why, but it happens every year. I could get a summer job, but I am stubborn and do not want to think that "work" is what defines me.
Once I get off my ass, I'm going to the gym... hoping to feel better...both physically and mentally.
