Is my workout/eating plan a little obsessive?
Greetings Friends,
Tonight I had a dinner out with the family, something I rarely do as I do not like eating out much now that I am committed to eating more healthy and maintaining a regular workout routine. I like to keep my dining out days to about once every two weeks or so, social obligations permitting. I work in a very "social" environment --I represent "talent," ugh-- and even though I don't have to attend social events, I feel as though I have to in order to advance my career; this usually means dining out with lavish food. I often times feel uncomfortable to eat as much as my cohorts do (god knows where their metabolisms come from, or maybe they just purge? eww), so I am relunctant to partake as fully as I should, food-wise. In any case, to make a long story short, I went out to eat dinner with the folks tonight. We arrived at the restaurant at around 7:15P or so and came back home (after a drive to pick up a health dessert for which we are saving in the refridgerator) at around 9P. My stomach was still full, so I wanted to rest for at least 1.5 hours (this this necessary, btw, for those who know about eating then working out?) before I went to the gym. Alas, it was around 11P and I was arguing whether or not to go to the gym. I'm obviously not there right now (typing instead, near midnight), and am feeling very bad about not going. I also feel bad about eating out tonight, as it wasn't planned (sporadic, my parents suggested it after I came home from work, my stomach quite prepared for dinner). On the ride home, I planned to have a bowl of cereal, a piece of toast with a spread of peanut butter, some stone-wheat crackers with some cottage cheese for dinner. Instead I had soupy Chinese food and dessert at the restaurant. My friends think I'm kind of insane for feeling guilty about eating out this one time and again, for beating myself up over not going to the gym this one Friday night (I should be out anyway, right? I'm a strapping young thing!). I was particularly good about going to the gym this week, clocking in around two hours each session since Christmas. And today I flaked out on my trusted gym and now I feel bad. I am wondering if I am sounding a bit obsessive, or if this is normal? I don't want to do anything detrimental to my body, but I just want to maintain my routine and be healthy (mentally and physically). Thanks for the continued support, HS. 146/134/130 |
