We won't talk about the weekend

So pretty much epic fail for the weekend.  Either I ate too much and ate out, or I didn't eat enough although I ate in.  and I forgot my pills for both days. I was pretty bitchy too. hum......

today I had Mickey D's for breakfast. A sausage, egg, cheese biscuit w/hash browns and orange juice. I have decided that although OJ is high in sugar, I could really use the Vitamin C and really how bad can 8 ounces be? 

For lunch Brandy bought me Wendy's. It was a burger and fries, but since she bought I am not complaining. However we both agreed that we need to eat at work the rest of the week.  I need to remember my cereal and milk along with my salad fixin's and my fruits. need to eat more fruit.

Grossly enough I have been very VERY constipated the last few days. Something is totally off in my diet and I'm not sure what. I have found that fiber pills are kind of expensive and I cannot stand the powder crap, so I need to get some natural stuff in me.  I have no idea what dinner will be tonight, but I gotta think of something. I don't think we took anything out of the freezer. (of course not. that would have been too brilliant! )

I'm posting a bit earlier today.

Last night dinner was at the Texas Roadhouse.  While the rolls were not good for me, and maybe that small dollop of Sour Cream should have been  removed, the steak salad and mash potatoes were delicious!

This morning breakfast was a kudos bar and a stop at Mickey D's.  I got all the way to work when I realized that I completely forgot my cereal. GRRRR.   Lunch was at Arctic Circle. Ranch burger w/fries. I didn't get a courtesy cone, and I only got it medium sized.

Tonight will be chicken of some sort. I told Dan it was his turn. lol.  although I should just make it myself.

and today's happy bunny calender says:  It's all about me. You should know that.

Day four of my confessions

Last nights dinner happened with raw carotts, baked chicken, and mashed potatoes. For some reason I could not eat it all. I was having tummy issues. :(

This morning was the chocolate special K cereal and two string cheese. I think I grabbed a kudos bar for on the way, but I was half asleep so I don't remember.....

Lunch was Wendy's.  I had the ultimate grilled chicken sandwhich with Letus, and fries. I know I should have gotten the salad, but I really wanted the fries. I suck at calorie counting and carb counting, but I'm trying to moderate my portions.

I have no idea what dinner will be tonight. Something I have to pull out of the freezer and thaw. I REALLY need to get my act together and plan the meals in advance so i can have stuff ready to go. Eating at 7 or 8 at night is not acceptable. I need to be able to eat as soon as Dan gets home. At least have it ready to go by then. Of course that means that i will have to do most of the cooking that way. I suppose I hate that, but what are you going to do? I'm working more on getting us to eat healthier, but it's going to be a stretch.

Day three and my confessions

I'm a bad girl. Yesterday I stopped on the way home and bought a happy meal. Then I bought a double cheese burger to go with it. I got home and put the chicken in the marinade. I had full intentions to cook it. then Dan called and said he was really craving an Angus burger from McDonald's.

So I had chicken nuggets and fries. *hangs head in shame*

I also had a kudos bar and probably would have had more if I could.

This morning I was better in that I had my bowl of cereal, and two string cheese. Brandy and I went to Sweet Tomatoes for lunch, and had salad. I had some cream of potato soup, and I did cheat and have a very small frozen yogurt cone. It was YUMMY!

Tonight will be the chicken. I am going to grab another string cheese on my way out the door to see if I can keep from stopping somewhere. I need to get better about it all.

I have a goal to start next Monday. Again, I will bring salad and eat at work. It's getting too pricey to eat out.

Day two and already I've failed

So this morning I was super hungry. hungrier than I have ever been. After getting ready for work and rushing out the door, I headed straight to Mickey D's. I got the sausage mcgriddle, but not the hash browns. I knew we were doing breakfast here at work today, but I also knew I couldn't wait to eat.

Last nights meal was meatloaf and potatoes.  Unfortunately for me, it wasn't ready when I got home. I ended up snacking on two Reese's peanut butter eggs, and carrots with ranch dip.

This mornings breakfast consisted of pancakes, eggs, sausage, frozen fruit and a piece of toast.
I was really yummy! and pretty filling, at least until now. I'm starving again! Dinner tonight promises to be marinated chicken with potato and broccoli.  I didn't walk the building either, but I did walk through Kohl's with Brandy and purchased a shirt, socks and a sweet little gift for Andy for his B-day in May.

I did spend some time checking out Gold's Gym and hopefully will get started there soon.

So far so fat

I did remember to take my insulin this morning. I even got it in about the same time I finished my Mickey D's.

Brandy and I decided to go to Chipotle.  I really don't care for the food, but who can say no when you get a gift card?  The people there pissed Brandy off, but we ate it anyway. Really who pays $10.00 for a bowl of spicy chicken and a drink? Me I guess. $10.35 to be exact.  I have to stop at Wal-mart today to get kitty litter, so I will get stuff for lunch tomorrow. Although we are having an office breakfast. So I don't know how hungry I will be for lunch.

I have included a picture of my meal. Brandy looked at me funny, but I explained that if I post pictures, hopefully that will help me keep from stuffing too much food in my mouth.  I do know that chipotle is making my tummy gurgle, so maybe that should be my incentive to not eat there.
Dan said that he is thawing a pre-made meatloaf we bought from Harmon's.  I like their meatloaf, and if I can pick up some fresh broccoli, I can throw together a sensible dinner.

I did not get any walking done today. for one, I was 30 minutes behind schedule, and two, I am wearing a pair of brand new shoes that are KILLING my feet.  They look cute on me, but the thought of walking through Wal-mart right now, makes me want to weep.

I've got the munchies now, but I think maybe that is just me being bored. I tend to want to eat when I'm bored. Especially if I have nothing else to do with my hands. I have perfected the art of shoving junk in my mouth w/out even noticing.

I look forward to getting out of work and getting home to my hubby and my meatloaf. Here is to day one of this blog, and the hope that I will remember to take my insulin w/dinner tonight.

Today is Day 1 of my confessions

I forgot to check my sugars this morning. I think I deliberately forgot because I was really bad yesterday evening and didn't take my insulin. Plus I ate pretzel M&M's, ice cream, kudos bars and an apple, along with lil' smokies in BBQ sauce. Damn I'm such a pig.

I stopped at McDonald's this morning. Got a sausage McGriddle with hash brown and large diet coke.
not the healthiest of meals, but I just couldn't face cereal and string cheese.  I have got to convince myself that I can do better than that.  I am hoping that this blog will convince me and help me keep track. I even set up a reminder at work to post every weekday.

I am going to set up reminders to "walk" the building at least once a day. hopefully I will work up to 2 times a day.   I am also going to post pictures of my meals, so please bare with me. If you are wondering why, I just want to remember what I had. lol.

Plus I need to be proud of meals I make that were healthy and yummy.
I will post again later today, and then it should only be one post a day. :)
