A little late night snack blew my great track record.

Some melted cheese on flatbread a couple slices of genoa salami and some cucumber slices . I have been trying not to eat late at night but after teaching back to back classes last night I was hungry and went for the high fat food that I love. Looking over the day I realise that my dinner of reheated veggies left over from Saturday night was absent of protien which left me starving shortly after.

But I still made the choice to go for the high fat cheese and salami, justifying it, by convincing myself, that running 14k the day before had earned me this little "treat".

I am usually the one saying that is off centered thinking, you don't earn food, you eat for energy and vitality....earning food is some sort of weird reward system like earning a beer or earning a cigarette etc.....next I will be earning scotch.....

Melted cheese on anything is a real weakness of mine.......I always try to think of HALT...(hungry, angry, lonely and tired), when one or more of these are occruing in me at any given time I am weak and prone to making choices that aren't in my best interest.

Last night I was hungry and oh so tired...hence my little "fat fest"....

However I am also not into beating myself up....I feel great today and with some preplanning will have healthy snacks in my fridge and better protein at my meals.
