I’m actually kind of glad my weekends over. I did GREAT yesterday was today I bombed. I think I mentioned yesterday that my nephew was spending the night (his mom works nights right now). Well, I don’t have any picky-kid friendly food in my house right now. So, we went to dinner last night — which wasn’t a problem for me but, I needed to figure out something for breakfast. He and I have a tradition of going to “Sneak-out Saturday” which is a treat for us to go for donuts on Saturday mornings sometimes. Usually we go in our pajamas but since we needed to head to church afterwards we got dressed first. The donut was OK, but not the best breakfast, follow that with a bottle of orange juice and I was on a sugar high. I don’t know about you but for me sugar highs are followed by hunger.
Plus, I was kind of beating myself up mentally over my “breakfast”. I’ve done a donut before but never a donut AND OJ.
I planned on Subway for lunch — it would work for him (plus I think that Subway sells hot dogs) but he wanted to go to “Cherries” (aka Sheri’s). I agreed to Shari’s and his mom met us there. I did NOT make good choices at Shari’s.
Even when I was eating it I knew I wasn’t making good choices, but I kept eating.
Of course, this evening I was hungry again so I had to have something else — I had some slices of turkey and a dill pickle.
I was going to go for a bike ride but after I finished picking up the kitchen and got a laundry going I got a frantic call from my sister that my brother and his wife had forgotten that she had to work tonight and she needed somewhere to drop off her son. So, I got to babysit again. Only this timeI couldn’t talk him into a walk or a bike ride for anything. (We did play Uno, though.) By the time my brother was able to pick him up there was a huge storm raging outside (rain, lighting, thunder the whole bit) so going for a bike ride or walk was out of the question.
And, I was so pissed off at myself that I didn’t think to put on a video and walk indoors. (And now it’s 10:30 and too late for me to walk.)
So, today sucked. Big time.
Honestly, I don’t even want to put my calories here but for accountability I will
Sunday: 2,038 calories.
I’ll close with a quote from one of my favorite books Gone With the Wind: After all, tomorrow is another day.
