My diet/exercise routine went downhill quick. I started out so well. I can feel myself slipping... like the ice cream I ate yesterday and the flying biscuit this morning. I can identify two main problems.
1) I am not prepared. Yesterday I worked through lunch and didn't stop to eat. I had a cupcake (which brings me to point #2...) and then when I went to babysit I was starving. Of course I didn't pack anything to eat so I was stuck with food at their house. I went for the turkey meatballs and cheese stick thinking they'd be ok. They didn't really fill me up so I went for the Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Now, I normally hate sugary cereals but these were calling my name. Luckily my sister was there to keep me from indulging. My mind cleared and I realized that I didn't really want that Cinnamon-y goodness anyway! Whenever I am not prepared I eat like crap.
2) Eating out. When I can control the food in my house I am awesome. When I'm somewhere else I eat terribly. I eat like it's my last meal on earth. Yesterday for example, I had to meet my husband somewhere on Fairview Road and guess where I picked... Ben and Jerry's. Did I go for the low-fat ice cream, the frozen-yogurt, a fruit smoothie? NOPE I went full-fat ice-cream and enjoyed every bite. I did manage to leave off the whipped cream and hot chocolate though! The night was made even better by dinner at Salsarita's. Could I have ordered a salad? Yes. Did I order a salad? No. I went for the large steak burrito with chips (and not quac or salsa but queso as my dip of choice). Granted I only ate 1/2 of the burrito, I definitely could have made a better choice.
Why is it so hard to eat healthy at restaurants? I try not to eat out much so when I do I ALWAYS over-indulge. I'm way over my points and haven't been exercising. Being off my schedule is really messing me up. Luckily, I'm keeping everything on this blog and hope that I will hold myself to it to keep struggling through this weight loss journey!
