Yesterday was NOT a good day!!
Well, it started of going very good, but then went totally down hill later!
For breakfast, I had a protein shake.
At work, it was "Muffins With Mom" day, and I avoided having a sampling of the mini muffins that were there. I was very proud of myself!
This is what I packed for my lunch & snack --- grapes, 4 thin slices of deli turkey, 1 slice of low-fat cheese, lite yogurt, and a low-fat mozerella cheese stick. I also took bottle of green tea with me.
My plan was to go see my mom after work and eat my lunch in the car on the way there, or after I got there.
Well..... after work is when my eating plan went out the window!!
After work, I met with my boss and found out that I did not get the higher position that I had applied for. This was a "blow" that I was totally NOT expecting!! -- There is a lot more to this story than what I am saying here, but if you go to my main blog page... you can get an idea of what happened.
I left work in tears and drove to my mom's, unable to eat my lunch.
When I got to the nursing home where my mom lives, I had to deal with a situation with her that I wasn't expecting. This was just something ELSE to add to my already bad day!
I got home about 2:30pm. It wasn't until about 4:30 when I realized that I hadn't eaten anything. THIS is when my eating took a turn for the worse!!
I munched on pita chips & hummus. Then ate speghetti for dinner not long after. (David helped out and cooked dinner for me) The speghetti was as healthy as I could make it with whole-grain noodles, heart healthy sauce, and ground turkey. But.... I added cheese AND I had a piece of garlic bread.!
I also had two glasses of wine and a piece of chocolate from a HUGE candy bar that one of my students gave me for Teacher Appreciation Week.
Later, I had some cheese-its for a snack.
I turned to food for comfort. NOT a good idea. I failed.
So... here I go again today.... trying to be good. I will plan as I did yesterday... to try and avoid as many carbs as I can.
I dread going to work.
I'm back in!
ReplyDeleteDon't be so negative about yesterday, you really didn't do that bad on your eating. When you are dieting you have to have "real" food sometimes or you would go crazy. Today is a brand new day, start fresh and don't dwell on the past.
Hope you had a better day at work today, been praying for you.
first hugs for having such a rotten day. As for eating it's okay to have off days i to had one yeterday but mine was just that i was hungry all day no matter what i ate but today back on track and you will to. Just try to think of in terms of riding a horse you got thrown off so you pick yourself up and get back on the horse. beside if that doesn't work call me i have duct tape and glue i'll stick your butt to the saddle....lol
