GUILTY...

You know how they say you are what you eat? Well today I am one guilty cow! Let me tell you about my day: I woke up at 8 AM like every other weekday to get my girls up and ready for school. My husband had a Dr. appointment early so I had to eat breakfast with the kids instead of after they left like I usually do. After eating I realized that today was Tuesday. What happens on Tuesday you ask? Well, Tuesdays are weigh in day for a group that I joined on Lose It. Every Tuesday we send in our weights to the captain so she can log them for our challenges. I usually weigh 1st thing in the morning and before I eat. Needless to say I was scared when I stepped on the scales. To my surprise my weight was still 225. I hadn't gained any weight but that also meant I hadn't lost any either. My feelings were a little hurt but you have to remember I had just lost 10 lbs in a week so I wasn't complaining.

Next my husband and I head off to the Dr. for his appointment which didn't go as well as either of us had hoped. After the Dr. we had a few more errands to run before taking two of the kids to the dentist later that afternoon. While we were out we decided we had better grab some lunch before we head to the school to pick them up. Did we go to Subway where I had even 1/2 a chance of keeping my daily budget? No we didn't we head straight for the Burger King drive through. I tried hard to be good. I ordered a Whopper Jr., a small fry and a small coke. What happened next you ask? When we pull off I notice that the people in the drive through gave me a medium fry and coke instead of the small I ordered. I guess they looked at me and thought "Man that girl looks like she could really use more food, let's give her more than she asks for." I know, I know all I had to do was just eat 1/2 of it but that is definitely not what I did. i ate the whole damn thing! Afterwards I felt so guilty. that meal alone was almost 1000 calories. 

After we ate we picked the kids up and took them to the dentist. While we were there I realized that I hadn't set any goals for myself today which really bummed me out. How could I have forgotten something that keeps me on track? I tried to shake it off but the guilt inside me was growing and growing. I had one chance to redeem myself and that one chance was dinner. My husband and the kids ate pizza and I did manage to stay clear of that. Lord knows I wanted the pizza but I sure didn't need more guilt! I decided I was going to eat a Lean Pocket which would have still kept me under budget. Did I eat just one? No I didn't. I ate them both which put me over my calorie budget. I haven't done that since I started this program. Imagine my guilt level now. The only thing that saved me was the fact that I hadn't done my exercises yet. Now, I don't usually use my exercise to allow myself more food but today I was really glad I had them to fall back on. So, tonight I am going to go ahead and set my goal for tomorrow (so I don't forget...LOL).

My goal for tomorrow is to get back on track and stay clear of drive troughs!
