However, I'm not so happy/proud of how I handled this weekend. It was one of my girls stitching getaways. I started the weekend with the best of intentions and I did not too bad food wise until about Saturday afternoon, and its kind gone down hill from there.
I ate temptations like this for lunch... (mind you I only ate 1/2 of the chicken and 1/2 of the rice)
Followed by this for dessert... I meant to eat half... honestly! Oops, I ate it all (remember me and my love affair with cake)
This evening was a bit of a challenge as well because its my Dad's Birthday and we had a great family dinner. I feel like I've eaten way too much, I ate 3 yes 3 pieces of garlic bread! Also more cake, but this time it was only a sliver.
I've spent way too much time feeling bloated and uncomfortable from eating too much. I know I've done better than I used to do, cause I used to eat whatever I want without a second thought. Now I just spend a little time (not too long) feeling guilty about a poor decision.
Now on the other hand I'm hoping the exercise I've put in over the last 3 days will kinda balance out the food I've consumed in the last day and a half (and flush the sodium out with a lot of water!). There was Friday's monumental 12.5 km run, Saturday I walked about 10km (in two installments), and this morning I put in another run this time only a gentle 4 km. I have to admit my poor legs are a little sore!

I cannot blame you re: the cake. I love cake, especially Black Forest cake (a total guilty pleasure)
Just remember life is for living - you may experience a small gain, but it'll come off again. Occasionally you just have to eat the cake. Enjoy it on those occasions, otherwise there's no point to eating it!! I'm sure the running will have made a huge difference in any case.
