Setbacks, or learning experiences?
I gained 3.2 lbs. I'm retaining water and I had pasta with a thick vodka cream sauce and garlic rolls a few times this week. I also have not been drinking the water that I have been the past few weeks. While all these things have lead to a gain, I've decided that it's not a setback. It's a learning experience. What did I learn? Vodka cream sauce pasta doesn't taste as good at the last bite, for the third meal, that it did at the first bite of the first meal. Moderation. If I want it, have it, but have it once, and maybe not a full plate of it. The first garlic roll tastes better than the third. Eat one, and move on. I need to drink water. Especially when I'm busy at work and the time is flying. If I need to set an alarm, that's what I need to do. Most importantly, if i reach for my water, and it's gone, don't put off refilling it. That's my biggest fault. I like sweets - so I need to do something to not crave them....
