Yesterday I got into some rough chocolate territory involving not only chocolate cake icing but chocolate ice cream my mom bought for no good reason. I’ve consumed more calories in chocolate than I have in real food. Probably.
But I couldn’t tell you for sure. Because I didn’t track my food yesterday when most of this chocolate consumption occurred. Somehow my little iPhone and I didn’t make time to enter in all the munchies and sweets I put in my mouth. I gave up around mid-morning after it felt too time consuming and difficult to click a few buttons and record all the little bits of random things that went into my mouth.
I spent most of the day going back and forth between sleeping and eating. Zzzzz. Food! Zzzzz. Food! Zzzz. FOOD! Zzzzzz. Food! Zzzzzz. My gym still didn’t have power so I didn’t do much of anything regarding exercise. This was the third day without power at the gym despite everyone else in the town having power restored.
Instead of going for a walk like I should have to get more exercise in I watched Bridezillas. For several hours, wondering the whole time how people that mean ever got married and if anyone will want to marry me since I’m not that mean. I did do some weights and a little lazy cardio during one episode, so I counted that as my mandatory daily exercise. Clearly the guidelines for what counts as exercise are fuzzy in my book.
Also went to see a very cool acoustic band play at a bar with a friend. I’ve been avoiding establishments that serve alcohol because I stopped drinking to help with losing weight. I was quit proud of myself for just ordering water while I was there, but I did have one (very large) shot that someone bought me because I’m terrible at turning down free things. If you want to buy me free alcohol, I will drink it.
So, yesterday was full of many kinds of chocolate and alcohol. (YES! yes!! YES!!) That sounds like the anti-diet, doesn’t it? Not that I am on a “diet” persay since I’m not following any specific diet or plan but just eating cleaner and more moderately. But if I was on a diet - DAMN I just had a killer anti-diet day.
Hopefully my gym has power tonight so I can hit it up for my workout. I would like to reunite with the love of my life, the elliptical. I’ve missed our time together. I’ve not been the same without our daily date. Chocolate is no substitute for the exercise endorphins.

I love the eliptical… it’s the most fun part about the gym, just get the ipod music going and work out, love those endorphins! Ive seen commercials for that show… if I were the husbands id get out while I can..who wants to marry people like that.
I think we are all entitled to one anti-diet day every now and then – yours sounded quite restorative. Hope the gym is working tomorrow!

Let us know how the ‘date’ goes, missus! I know how you feel. I’m going to the gym for my second session in a loooooooooooooooong time. I miss it.
Soooooo true about the chocolate.

You haven’t reported in on how the no alcohol thing is doing? Do you think it is making a big difference? Hope you get back to the gym soon!

I love the elliptical, but I like being outside more. It’s a dilemma. :)

If I were to commit myself to an hour to two hours a night on an elliptical, would I achieve sufficient results? Does an elliptical machine actually burn calories and fat? My goal is to lose up to 20 pounds by May 2007. Also, using an elliptical is not the only element in my weight lost regimen. So does an elliptical do much to help burn calories and fat, and how long would I have to work out in one day to burn an ample amount of calories?
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Fat[free]Me @ Been fit all my life and decided to try being pudgy for bit. Day 3 of my anti diet and I am 4 lbs heavier. 154 lbs on 5 foot 10 frame. Always have been athletic, even played professional womens soccer for a bit in Germany
big step IMO in sayting that the chocolate endorphins are no match for the exercise ones.
Id not even REALIZED that I went through that same realization until I read this.
For me it was Entemans Choc covered Donuts vs Stairmaster.
