Oops again

Could have been worse. That seems to be my actual motto the past few days.

We went out again, unexpectedly, with Adam and Brandice. Yay! This was the first time I had seen her in so long. I had given up hope that she'd ever be back. Now there's a glimmer. She said at dinner that she has gained so much weight and eats everything in site. Toward the end of dinner I whispered to Brian that she actually had a tiny nibble of everything in site. I swear! The ticket to being tiny is just not finishing your food. Brian thought it was funny, so did Adam. Anyway, my bad part was eating two slices of quesadilla at Trudy's that we ordered to share. And I had a martini.

But I was good the rest of the day yesterday. We had our at-work Christmas party where there were sweets and cheese all over the place. I had 1/2 of a tiny turkey sandwich, no condiments and some broccoli. Then at home, I had 1/3rd of a chicken pot pie. 1/2 of one would have been 530 calories! I had no idea how bad those were. Brian ate my leftovers. I guess it's good to have a human disposal as a partner when you're dieting.

And although I didn't work out, it really could have been worse. I didn't touch the queso or order a second drink. I could have had cake and cookies at the party, but didn't. And you have no idea how hard it was to stay away from the cheese tray. Or maybe you do.

Tonight I'm on my own so the temptation wont be so in my face. I'll actually be able to work out and get a decent night's rest. I had Special K for breakfast and a cup of hot chocolate at work. They're doing free fajitas in the cafeteria today so I may have one. Still on track, on the edges of the track but that counts still I think.

My gray work pants are on and don't cut my circulation off, which is a great sign that I'm headed in the right direction. It feels good to not be depressed when I get ready for work in the mornings. And I must give myself extra props because I have NEVER been able to diet during the winter in my entire life. I usually don't start until Jan-Feb in preparation for Spring. With an early start, I'll be super ripped for August. Fingers crossed. I can do it! I can do it!

Where is everyone?

Oh and I'm a little weirded out that a Plucker's rep commented on my last post. And by the way, that wing sauce is not good for you, even on grilled chicken. But yes, it's better than queso for sure.
