Enjoying a little retaliation

Sitting at the end of a long day I am honestly aghast at some of my own decisions and their repercussions. Last night I had some friends over for the UFC fights (yes they were a delayed recording but still fun). One of the challenges from this was that I drank a 20 oz Dr. Pepper. There went my no Dr Pepper or soda goal. Repercussion? Yeah, I couldn't sleep. DOH!  I also ended up going out and getting ice cream with one of my buddies. So guess who ate a cup of ice cream to top off the night. Yeah, my buddy did. Oh, and so did I. How did that feel, so so good! But today I got to deal with the late night belly processing that also aided to my sleeplessness.

Today Didn't go much better than the prior evening. 1) I ate a Cannoli, swirled brownie and eclair at lunch. HA HA HA HA Idiot decisions right? oh and 2) I I finished the other 15 oz of my giant Dr Pepper from yesterday. Sheesh Scott! What's going on? Well, I turned it into a cheat day. I didn't keep falling short, I stopped eating bad and lunch and have moved forward.  Here's how I recovered from further health retaliation.

1. Hit the gym hard! I spent an hour on legs today burning at least 300 extra calories over my daily burn.
2. Starting drinking tons of water. Okay, so maybe not 2,000 lbs of water, but hey, I've been drinking water all afternoon and evening.
3. Put only healthy foods in for the rest of the day.
4. Plan my meals for tomorrow.

  • Breakfast: Fruit and Spinnach Smoothie with a 2 scoops of Vi-shape.
  • Snack: 24 almonds
  • Lunch: Chipotle burrito bowl.
  • Workout: upper body and some cardio.
  • Snack: chocolate protein for my post workout
  • Dinner: tilapia and super sized salad.
Yeah, it's gonna be a good day tomorrow. I love it when a recovery comes together.

How do you recover from a bad meal, decision, or blown day?
