What Is It About A Man, That Turns Me To Stupid?
Accountability: Day 5
So yesterday morning started out ok. Ate right and got part of my exercise in. Then came the call…Did I want to ride with J to go to Tractor Supply and get lunch while we were out? All strength over him and food went flying out the window. I cant resist him…still.
So about an hour later he picked me up. I was already hitting on hunger pretty good by then. We got about 10 minutes down the road and my daughter calls…she locked herself and the dogs out of the house. So turn back around, let her in and head back out again. We had about a 40 minute drive to where we were heading and my stomach just got angry. We ended up at Five Guys (Burgers & Fries). Resist I did not! I looooooove the burgers and the fries are amazing. I got the Little burger (which is a “normal” size) and we split a small fry. They are good for dumping pretty much a whole nother order in the bag. Yikes! I feel guilt but MAN it was good.
Then we went on to Tractor Supply. Dont ask me why…but I love that store. Then on to one of my most favorite stores…Home Depot! (or Lowes). I could spend hours in there, just wandering around, happy and content. Walking thru the doors it smelled like fresh cut lumber and Christmas spice scents. I know, your thinking, Yep, she IS a nut job! The smell of wood takes me to a much happier time…childhood. My Dad did/does a lot of woodworking. When he would be cutting wood for a project it just smelled yummy!
So I did not have the day I planned, and I could have made better choices with lunch and additional exercise, but I could have been MUCH worse. Just hope I wont have to pay a horrible price with the scale for it. If so, I did it to myself.
So today began with a dusting of snow…a little more on the mountains. Got in my bran flakes (I know…boring) and getting myself geared for exercise in a few. I WILL do better today. I WILL see better results on that scale!
Have a great weekend all!
Wow…I say SO alot, huh?
You know what if you have been good for a while why not reward yourself. Just don’t give out rewards every week
Once in a great while you need a yummy reward. You had yours, now back on that wagon and no more rest stop for a while!
Funny how men can have that kind of impact on our brains. Damn them! LOL…
Well the title caught my eye, men do that to me too.
But, on the positive side, you sound like it was a happy time, and you have been thru some rough times lately. Be good to yourself, and pick up and get right back on. One day won’t kill all your efforts. Hugs, Kama
Lol… I live in the New York and I love going to home depot!!! lmao.. I thought I was the only one. I just go in there to walk around and look at stuff. anyway… Girl, that burger costed a lot! Your talking around 800 cals just on the burger… I make the mistake of allowing people to pressure me into eating bad stuff too… one of the reasons I stopped eating pork and beef.. If I do get tempted I’ll go for something slightly less fattening. Hope u do better next time… Good luck!!!
I just love your picture!! Its so nice to put a face together with words. You are sooooooooo beautiful!!!
Don’t feel bad about the burger and fries, sounds to me like you are doing AWESOME!!!
Hugs

Men… Eddie invited me for breakfast the other day, and I didn’t eat like I would have w/o him! OH WELL…

Good job on splitting the fries…BUT you better work it this weekend to burn it off so you make your weigh in!
Ok, guess i’m just nuts…I swore I left you a comment earlier. lol..I dont see one so I guess I just thought about it?
You know what my deal is with something like that…I own it…I enjoy every single bite..I did it and its ok. In the long term-whats a burger you know. A treat now and then..dont hurt a thing.
Hey..your doing good..you just hang in there and keep going!
Much love..Debbie
Oh, by the way..I think we ALL know what it is about a man that turns us stupid!! lmao…I couldnt resist lol. Love ya..Debbie
Yep, I have to join the bandwagon.
I can do so good, but if hubby is in the mood for something junky for dinner, I’ll be right beside him eating.
I am glad you enjoyed yourself! I too love Lowes! Don’t feel guilty about the burger and fries….just get back at it, and it sounds like you are.
