While away from home, I tried to eat low-carb, which I did pretty successfully. I ate 2-3 times per day instead of my usual 5ish, which meant I got pretty full during my meals.
While at home, I had many days where I overate on semi-on plan foods. Peanut butter was a chief offender. I also ate a bunch of Cheezits, Doritos, and tortilla chips on a few days when they were hanging around the house. Those foods are ok because they contain very little sugar but not ok because they have a lot of carbs. I basically just didn't care. My weight didn't increase right away so I felt like I was getting away with something.
I didn't exercise much in the latter part of the month. I got mildly sick for a few days so I didn't want to work out during that time.
I got up to 134.0 lbs on September 21, 2011, which was a real wake-up call. After a few days eating on-plan I've gotten back down to my pre-September weight, more or less. So not too much damage done except for time lost.
To get back on plan I had to remind myself why I'm trying to lose weight at all - namely, to not get Type II diabetes or gestational diabetes. I also set a new vanity goal for myself - to be in a size 4 dress by the time my 50 Pounds in 50 Weeks project ends. Maybe I'll even get to wear a sexy dress like this one!
Now that I'm back on the right track, I will post the details of my last few days since I actually have accurate food stats.
