So I have been chuggin' along. Eating every two hours, trying to create meals that are low in calories, high in protein, and filling. I haven't been walking as much this past week as I did last week, but I stay active. Chasing after Robert Jr. keeps me active. This weekend was a little tougher than last. Part of the problem was I didn't take my appetite suppressant. I didn't think I would need it. Note to self..They prescribe them for a reason. Okay, so Saturday went well. I didn't journal like I was supposed to but I did ok. Sunday....ugh. Let's see...Sunday started off good. I had a high protein breakfast, but it was downhill from there. We went to this Berries, Brew, and BBQ festival. We purchased our tickets a couple of weeks ago from Groupon (LOVE GROUPON) and with our purchase we got free beer/wine tickets.
So we get to the farm that is holding the festival and right away I smell BBQ. (Mind you on the way there I ate one of my protein bars thinking that would be enough). My two Roberts are hungry so we make our way to the BBQ stand. They have chicken and sausage. Of course my two guys don't want chicken, they want the sausage sandwhich. No big deal. I see they have a strawberry spinach salad. So $12 later, I walk away with a sausage sandwhich, a salad, and a Pepsi (NOT FOR ME! I am off soda).
So I am eating my salad, first off let me tell ya...GROSS. The little teenager they hired for the even doesn't realize that when you are putting dressing onto a salad especially one that had vinegar and oil in it you have to shake the bottle, so all I got was some nasty oil. BLECH!
They are eating their sausage sandwhich and I am sitting there eating my spinach. I smell BBQ in the air, and I got weak and I couldn't help it. I took several bites of their sandwhich. I didn't eat the bread, just the sausage and it was oh so good, but I knew not good for me.
Next stop was to the beer and wine section. Robert had a beer and I broke down and had a glass of Riesling wine. I am a sucker when it comes to that kind of wine...YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY! GUILT, GUILT, GUILT!
By this time my husband is kind of laughing at me because I am starting to freak out a little. He says it is ok to fall off the wagon as long as I get back on. I give him the look of death and tell him let's go pick strawberries.
Picking strawberries was fun and I got some exercise out of it so I was feeling a little better. We left not long after we finished picking the berries. On the way home Robert tells me he is still hungry, so we hit the Burger Basket and he got a cheeseburger and onion rings. I didn't order anything. I had one onion ring and the guilt was so overwhelming I couldn't handle anymore. So I went home and made one of my wraps with ham and cheese.
Back at home I was doing ok, but I was craving fruit. We had fresh strawberries, cantaloupe and mangos in the house. I had a mango and took some bites of strawberries and cantaloupe. I knew I was heading toward the point of no return. We were spring cleaning this weekend so I was busy, but my mind was on food. This is where had I taken my meds I would have been ok.
Dinnertime rolls around, my tummy is growling and my kitchen is spotless so I am not cooking anything. We end up at a this little cheap mexican restaurant...I ordered a chicken taco salad. I ate the chips and salsa, I had sour cream, and I blew my calories for the day. But I wasn't hungry anymore. LOL
So today I am back on the wagon. I just had my breakfast bar and shake. I am going to take my meds in a little bit and I will shut the door on yesterday and continue forward with today.
Weigh in is in three day....
