Afternoon!
So I'm gonna talk about something kinda big...sorta, at least for me. Today was my LAST day at my first real job. I worked there for 7 years. I basically grew up there! It's insane to think come next Monday I will not be getting up and going to work in the dark at my usual place of work!
I can't say I worked very hard today...or the two weeks leading up to today ...but can you really blame me!? haha They sent me off today very nicely though. I got a lovely signed card from everyone, balloons, a lovely bag of peanut butter goodies, and of course CAKE. Ice cream cake to be exact.
YES. It fit my macros.
But only after I did some moving things around. I like to start my day knowing what I am going to eat. So by 2pm I had a full day of eating accounted for. What I would like to say about that is, this. Two years ago, maybe even last year this cake would have haunted me. I would have dreaded every minute leading up the cake being handed to me because I would think this would destroy my entire day. "This cake isn't clean. It's gonna ruin all my eating for the day" I would think. But I would feel obligated to eat the cake. Eat a slice, maybe two, maybe three and then lose it for the rest of the day
"Well my day is already ruined", would be my thought process. "May as well eat whatever I want." And then I would binge. For probably the rest of the day...and the following days. (This is a TERRIBLE way to do things) Instead I took out the treat that I had planned for the day, and replaced it with this small piece of cake I had.
My point in all of this is MODERATION and forgiveness of yourself. It doesn't matter if you eat clean, count your macros or just try and eat healthy. Everything is fine in moderation. As much as one salad wont make you healthy and lose weight, one slice of cake wont make you unhealthy or gain weight. Enjoy things happily and in moderation. And forgive yourself when you "slip up". Its not a race. It's a marathon in which you need to enjoy and grow!
Anyway, my now ex coworkers are taking me out tonight for a drink! Final celebration. Gotta go make myself presentable ! Have a good one :)
