June recap

For the month of June, I wanted to see what would happen if I didn't write down everything I was eating.  And you know what?  I made really good choices, food-wise.  I didn't feel so restricted, and yet this was my cleanest-eating month yet.  Except for the wine.  And cider.  And sangria.  That was really a problem, mostly because I feel like I've been on summer vacation for the entire month.  While I'm in CA I know I will drink a lot, but starting July 24, this has to stop.  Social occasions? Fine.  Every day?  Not okay.  Back to tracking?  Probably cheats and alcohol only.

Also, I haven't weighed or measured myself since May, and I don't want to.  That's how I know I've been making bad decisions with respect to alcohol.

binges/cheats: 2

rest days: 4

grocery cost: $576.65 (with at least $150 of that on wine...good lord)

My choices after work today were to either go to the gym (on my rest day) or binge-eat. Why couldn't I just have a normal night at home? So. Freaking. Stupid. And now my stomach hurts.

Lesson of the day: just because a day is long and stressful (being in lab at 3:30am definitely qualifies), does not mean it is okay to binge on unhealthy foods. Thought I was done with this behavior... so disappointed. And embarrassed.
