Weekly Weigh In: Week 16 Confessional

It finally happened.  I just didn't want to cook.  I didn't want to do anything but have food brought to me and eat it.

We ordered pizza last week.  Papa Johns Double Bacon 6 Cheese on original crust.  My oh y was it tasty ... for a bit.  I ate 3 pieces and should have stopped at 2 (well should have never started but I was beyond that)
While it tasted good going down, it sat in my gut like a brick for 2 days.  It took almost 5 day before I felt "normal" again.  It was just too much.  Lesson learned!  I used to think that anything would be OK once I'm into maintenance.  I really thought sugar would do me in more than the carbs.  But I was wrong (very very painfully wrong).  And now I know.

It was a good lesson to learn now while I still am (mostly) in the good eating habit.  It will be very easy to stray once I'm free to eat as I please.  It reminds me that "while all things are [will be] permissible, not all things are profitable"

This was certainly not profitable.  I made cauliflower crust pizza later in the week and reveled in it.  How great it tasted and how much better I felt eating it.  I may even try a (turkey) bacon and a couple of different cheeses (if I can find soy equivalents) version some day. But for now its back to basics.

I suspect this will not be a losing week - I'm hoping for break even but think it might be a gain :(  Again, lesson learned.  I actually feel OK about it.  I made the choice, I ate the pizza, I now get to deal with the consequences.

Week 16 Progress: -0.4
Total: -43.6
