Week 2 Day 2

Go see my not so secret shame. Yesterday was terrible for me. I was going to get Chick-Fil-A for breakfast and I did knowing that the cheese and the fried chicken would be a big calorie bounce. Still it was the morning and should be the more forgiving meal especially for a protein leaning meal.

Then came lunch. I was going to go to Applebee's and get a salad, however there were panhandlers at the red light so I turned in order to avoid them. Stupid car's AC isn't working so my windows are down and I'd have to talk to these seedy looking guys otherwise. So now I am going the wrong way and decide to get Chinese food. I'd done the research and figured on chicken with mixed vegetables and steamed rice for a safer meal. I got the right main course, but the rice wasn't steamed nor white. It was fried and with chicken in it. I should have just thrown it out, but I ate it and about half of the chicken with vegetables. The other major problem with this meal was the amount of sodium used in making it and in the soy sauce, so none of this meal was good for me in the end.

An easy snack later that afternoon was Jell-o pudding. I needed the snack because lunch was Chinese food and it's true, I was hungry an hour later.

Then it was dinner with the brother at La Parilla. They have really no healthy menu. Their vegetarian selections are still loaded with cheese and sour cream and guacamole. So I ordered the La Parilla dip with chunks of steak, chicken and shrimp in it for an appetizer, I ordered the big nachos for my dinner and I ordered a 32 oz. Budweiser to make it all feel better. I was disgusted with myself and I really, for the first time I can recall, did not even care that we left food on the table. It plays with my head the idea of eating everything you order and I ignored it last night. I did finish that beer though.

Finally, I had some Ben and Jerry's Fro-Yo Half Baked. The pint is supposed to be four servings. It was barely one. And so ends the worst day of eating for me in the last week and a half.

Almost 6,000 calories and I weighed 1.4 pounds more this morning than I did the day before.

I think I was lucky it was only that much. Today will be a payback day, with both food and exercise.
