Today was weird. I wasn't that hungry, but I was really really tired. I stayed up too late last night and when I woke up this morning I felt like someone had drugged me. It was like a Nyquil hang over without the Nyquil.
I was so tired that I totally blew off the day. Thank God I work from home, so I can do that sometimes. I didn't go back to bed. I tried to stay up. My son came home from school with a head ache so I gave him some meds and laid down with him for a minute. We both slept for the next hour and a half. Whoops. I woke up groggy and seriously hungry, probably because I missed my 4pm (predinner so I don't die or pig out) snack.
My husband was working late, so I didn't feel like I Needed to make dinner. I broke ddown and went to Taco Bell and picked up food. I normally wouldn't do it, but going out when it's 20 degrees outside and sitting in a car for 20mins totally sounded so much better than over an hour in the kitchen between cooking and hten cleaning it up.
I kind of love Taco Bell. I always over do it and feel sick after Taco Bell. As my sweet tooth would tell you I always get whatever desert they have, too...sometimes one of each desert. (There's that moderation thing again.) Today however I was the winner. I looked up the calories for all the food at Taco Bell and wrote down my order before I ever left the house. Keeping my calories in mind I was able to get something I really like without over doing it. I sat down with my Nachos Supreme (instead of Belle Grande) and an apple. I eat more calories than I wanted to today, but only by about 200 so it wasn't a lost day. I shoot for a goal, but always give myself about 200 calories worth of wiggle room just in case. I stayed under my top line of 1,500, so I'm happy. I even walked with my sone this even ing after dinner. It was only about 20 mins, but it was better than nothing.
It seems crazy, but I am really proud of myself right now.
