Week Two Day Three

Well, today has been an up and down and back up kind of day.  Last night's late night made for a more sluggish morning.  I, once again, grabbed an egg McMuffin on the way to work.  I love them and am relieved that they have the right balance of carbs and proteins to work on the Curves program.

Once again, I stayed strong around all the breakfast goodies that were around and attempted to eat my morning snack.  However, the pineapple tasted a bit old and had made the cottage cheese taste old, too, so I ended up having a string cheese stick and fresh pineapple that was available at the meeting.

My principal was awesome and sprang for lunch from Baja Fresh for us.  I was able to research their menu last night and had a great chicken salad for lunch.  I also had a bag of tortilla chips that came with the meal.  The salsa verde sauce I was dipping my fork into was a bit warmer to my mouth.  I thought the chips would take it away, but they didn't.  Soooooo I went to the stash of licorice that is still in that bottom cabinet drawer.  I was going to take it to the staff room, but didn't follow through on that intention yet.  I had 10 pieces.

As the afternoon wore on, physically I tanked pretty hard.  I felt tired and weepy and tired some more.  I let myself have two tootsie roll suckers while I worked on seating charts.

By the time I got home, I was done.  I made the decision to have whatever I wanted tonight.  Paul had an early evening commitment, so we decided to get pizza for dinner after he got back.  I headed to the pantry and ate three peanut butter and honey sandwiches, 3 cups of Baked Lays chips, 4 Oreos, and had 1 diet sprite.  As I ate, I calmed down and began to feel better and more settled.  I texted Paul and asked him if we could do the pizza another night.  Instead, he picked up a Wendy's chicken salad on the way home for me.  I was so glad to finish on a healthy note.  As it got later in the evening, he decided to take Pippin on a walk, and I jumped at the chance to go with him.  I was going to do it after I got home from school and didn't follow through on it.  It was a humid, muggy atmosphere, but it felt so good to get out and walk with my boys around our beautiful, idyllic little park.

So, steps forward and back, but I think I'm still moving in the right direction.
