Battle Of The BINGE
Thanks all of you that responded to my last post. It sounds as though I need to step it up on both the weight lifting and cardio. Let that begin on Monday!Wow. What a week. I was sailing in the beginning of the week! Clean eating, good workouts, then BOOM! Crash! The past two days I've done nothing but binge. I'm not talking adding some peanuts or sunflower seeds either! No...those would be ok! I'm talking Binge with a capital "B!" Cookies, candy, doughnuts, cake, pie..I've had it all. I have even found myself eating things that I don't really care for! I've put on 8 pounds in two days. Holy crap! And I feel miserable, pissed at myself, hopeless...but the urge is still there! There are a couple of things going on, but I'm not sure which is the culprit. I haven't had a binge like this in years!
First, it may be the Prednisone. I know in the past it has made me feel like I was starving all the time while I was on it. The first few days I was on it weren't too bad. My step-son is on it right now too, and today he ate all of his lunch and his friends lunch too! lol
Second, I seem to be having more problems on the days that I work both jobs. I suppose I'm burning up more energy because I'm on my feet on the second job and I'm constantly on the go there. And I haven't been taking any food with me there because I don't get a break. So I have my afternoon snack at 3pm, then don't get to eat again until 10pm. That's just messed up.
I had already decided to up my calories to 1500 and go back to a 20-40-40% ratio again. Maybe that will help on the days I'm working so many hours. Tomorrow is my last day on Prednisone, so between the two...I hope to see this quickly turn around!
So it looks like I next week I have to work on more than just my workouts! Arrrgggghhh! I feel like I'm starting all over! Ok..I'm done. I'm fine. lol
