The Ups and downs of dieting..

As you can see by the title of this blog, I am frustrated today.  We have been so busy at work since we cut back to two people in the office that I find myself slipping into the fast food habit.   I was bringing my lunch and snacks and trying to eat healthy.  This week I have been like someone wired my brain to grave fast food.    I did pretty good yesterday I had a steak and cheese 6" subway with baked chips and for my snack I had some lite peaches.  Last night for supper  we ordered out and I went and picked it up.   Now remember I live 25 miles from anything so the only thing to get out our way is a fish house.  My husband had fried shrimp, and the smell drove me crazy coming back.  They smelled like heaven let me tell you.    Now me I got a hamburger steak with just a little gravy, no onions and a baked potato.   I made me a salad to go with it.  When I got home I cut the hamburger steak in half and the bake potato.  I was going to save it for my lunch, but my husband took it with him.   I did give in and ate my whole piece of garlic toast though.  Hey I can only be so good when it comes to bread.    Later on that night I had a craving for something sweet so I got a orange sherbert push up, these are good and they only have 60 calories.   So I did pretty good yesterday, but the story continues lets go back a couple of days to Wednesday shall we.  I went to Mazzio's for lunch, because it is quick and I thought well I will have a salad and 1 piece of pizza.  Yeah right, I was dreaming..    I got pasta and 2 pieces of pizza and a couple of pieces of choc chip pizza.   I was so miserable when I got back to work and sleepy all afternoon.  Why do I do this to myself, am I just on a self destruct path or what?    Well I am going to just get over this and get control again and today is a new day. 


I am sorry that I have not been posting a lot lately and I miss reading every one's post.  Hopefully it will settle down here this week and I can get back to it.   I have my 6th 5k in the morning.  The Magnolia Meltdown in Jackson, MS and I am looking forward to it.   It is going to be hot though and humid, like always this time of year in Mississippi.    I will post my pics and things this weekend or on Monday depending on my connection from home.  



Hey all you bloggers, have a great weekend....

Debbie, maybe a bit of a rough patch you've had to maneuver here. Sounds like you've been trying to make right choices during a hectic time so feel good about keeping healthy thoughts in mind. Have a good time on the 5k and hopefully that will fire you up a bit more for a better week ahead.

Chocolate chip pizza!!! That sounds heavenly :)
You are doing great. Old habits are hard to break. But you made one bad choice amoung all the good choices.
You should be very proud of yourself.
