Weekend Report and Most of Monday

I SUCKED this weekend. As in, I am not to be trusted around food, food blogs, grocery stores or places that sell food. I have no self-control and no matter how much I want to thing I'm changing my attitudes towards food, I'm mostly failing.

Now that that's outta the way...

So I landed at Chick-fil-A for lunch Saturday. I debated back and forth all morning but as I unlocked my car to leave work I knew it would be Chick-fil-A. 1.) I knew it would be good and satisfying and 2) It would be fast and 3) I know all the calorie counts on what I normally get there so it was "safe." Plus, I love Chick-fil-A. It's such a happy little place with all that "my pleasure" business when you thank an employee. Also? It's the CLEANEST fast food place in town. They take pleasure in hygiene, too, apparently. *thumbs up*

So really, I shouldn't feel too bad about Saturday's lunch choice. Could have been worse. ie: Chinese buffett. ha

I didn't eat much when I got home but I didn't move around much, either. Tired, cold, lazy. Take your pick and you'd be right every time. I ate a slice of the coconut rum pie and a small salad. No candy, I don't think. Coffee with sugar and Bailey's. (yum. Gotta stop.)

Sunday morning I got up and made a small batch of biscuits and gravy. Enough biscuits and gravy to last me most of this week. Not the healthiest choice, I know, but at least I didn't buy the sausage I'd intended on having with the biscuits and gravy! (I take my wins where I can, I guess.)

Sunday was also the Thanksgiving pot luck at church so I made a big pan of homemade mac and cheese and a turtle pumpkin pie to take and of course licked all the spoons, bowls, etc. None of it low fat or sugar free. And of course at the church pot luck, I tried a small scoop of almost all the things and one slice of pecan pie for dessert. Plus Coke. Wasn't really hungry until much later but I did end up eating a scoop of the broccoli, cheese and rice casserole leftovers that Mama sent home with me. And two fun sized candy bars.

Oops!

Anyway, this morning I had one of the leftover biscuits with gravy. Lunch was a McDonald's burger. I met a friend there. Totally regretting that burger because it was not good and I feel like I wasted that indulgence on crappy food. My friend is in love with the McRib, though, and it intent on eating one every chance she gets until they're gone. So that's why McD's.

Excuses, excuses.

Anyway.

I'm sad to report that my previously somewhat relaxed slacks are now fitting again. I hate it. I kinda hate myself, too. Every time I think I need to get a grip on this thing, I sabotage myself. I know it's all psychological. Something in my brain that gets tripped. A comfort thing, maybe? I'm not really sure. I just know I need to figure it out so that I can address it and let go of it. I don't just want to, I HAVE to if I want to live a long and healthy life.

Not to mention there is a spiritual need to take better care of this body God gave me. I've abused and misused it for so long and I know someday I'm going to pay for that.

After today, I am off work for the rest of the week. I'll be spending the day with my sister and her kids tomorrow and be at home Wednesday. Spending Thanksgiving day with various family members and, of course, eating. After that, my schedule is anyone's guess. I think my mother is planning things for me to do.

So. Now that I've whined, made excuses and whined some more, I'll sign off. I hope to be able to keep up with the meal reports while I'm off work but no promises. All I can hope for is that any reports I do make are good reports.
