I took a little break this weekend, and made it into something I used to call "strategic refeeding". I always told myself that these times were me taking a break from the calorie grind to break a plateau, or trying to teach myself how to eat for maintenance after this is all over, but in reality it was always just a binge session where I ate crap and drank soda.
But this weekend was different. I ate sushi and fried tofu with all the carbs I've been keeping low, but I practiced good portion control and loved it. And I gave no thought to portion control on Saturday night when we pigged out on grilled steak and veggies. And I had beer! (Low carb, of course, but still maybe a few too many :).)
There was no soda, no cookies, although I did indulge in a small ice cream from Coldstone on Sunday. It tasted so incredible! I spent 20 minutes savoring every bite of it, knowing it would be some time before I had another, and honestly, I think I enjoyed that one more than any other I've ever had.
I stepped on the scale this morning and am right where I started the weekend, so overall, I'm really happy with myself that I was able to take a bit of a break without sabotaging my progress and setting myself up for failure. And I don't feel like I'm counting down the days to the next one. I feel like I *want* to get back on my diet today, cause honestly, I'm feeling bloated and sluggish after eating so much, and I don't like it. It was a good break, but it's even better motivation to remind myself that I don't want to go back to feeling like this everyday.
