Yesterday, not so good, but still on plan

So, yesterday, I didn't have to work but my husband did. For those that don't know, my husband works 24 hours on, 48 hours off as a firefighter/paramedic.

So, we're hanging out at the house, I was doing laundry, the kids were playing. I ate very well for breakfast and tried to drink my water. But, some sort of evil started permeating my house, because my son turned into a defiant, spiteful little BLEEP who delighted in throwing things at me and his sister. When I took away those things, he threw temper tantrums. UGH! Once again, I try not to blog about my family, but when the kids turn into little evils, I sometimes can't help resorting to eating to make me feel better. It is a bad habit, and one I truly am working on breaking.

Well, anyway, I decided I wanted to make Gourmet Hamburgers, which is a homemade bread recipe wrapped around small hamburger (I used 93/7 turkey) with cheese and cream of whatever soup, then baked. Honestly, it is only 9 points for one. But, while I was making them, I snacked and snacked and snacked. I had a glass or 2 of wine. The point of this is - I didn't eat great, didn't eat all my veggies, or water, etc.

The good of the day is that I tracked every bite. Yes, I ate more than I wanted to, but I am still on plan. So this means that I am learning that if I have a bad day, I can still have a bad day and still be on plan.

Today has been much better. I have eaten 1 1/2 of those delicious Gourmet Hamburgers, but I have tempered it with a lot of water and veggies and fruit. I have to teach tonight, but when I get home, I am putting on my walking shoes and heading out for 1 hour and 10 minutes of walking.

It's weird, but I am sort of looking forward to Thursday, because I know I have lost weight. Even my schizophrenic scale has consistently shown that I am down from what I was last Thursday.

So, tomorrow, we are going to Springfield to the new Cabela's. That means we will be eating on the road. As such, I am pre-planning with packing fruit and veggies and water. I may not blog tomorrow, but I'll let you know how it goes.

BTW -

Sandy, self-sabotage is what I call my rebellion. If it helps, rebel for a little bit, then get re-motivated. I think my little rebellion worked for me, so far. <<HUGS>>

Nathan - thanks, cousin, for flying across the country with me to walk a half-marathon!

Thalassa and Bernie - drop me a line and let me know how you are doing
