Garbage That GOO!

Temptation called the wrong number!

I needed to shop for veggies yesterday. But it seemed like I was never going to get out of the house. There were calls I needed to make, then a call I answered and finally, I just decided I needed to GO. Or I'd be so late back with groceries, I might miss "Biggest Loser". Trouble was, I was due for a meal shortly. Oh, I could've scrounged a quick salad with spinach and herring snack and maybe some radishes/green pepper (about all that was left in the veggie bin), but I was afraid if I did, I'd never get out the door.

The plan was to take the Subway gift card hubby gave me for Xmas and go get a roasted chicken breast salad.

But the mind is a funny thing. Once I was in the car, a Subway salad didn't sound all that appealing. I was actually feeling hungry, and starting to think of McDonald's and Taco Bell and other such "unsavory" solutions. And I thought about having to write about yet another slip up here... not to mention the possible loss of progress and a big sodium bloat weigh-in number on the scale to log. I thought about my aching feet and how hard I work to try and budge my goo. My mind turned back to Subway... and started thinking about salad and COOKIES! Let's just say the mind is a treacherous thing, especially when the body is hungry!

So I drove to Subway. And I ordered my planned salad, had honey mustard dressing on the side and got a big glass of water. No cookies. (Temptation was wanting a diet soda... but I said no again.)

And thanks to a meal, I got through my grocery shopping with no unplanned items coming home. Stuck to my list, got in, got out, got home, had another meal when it was time and enjoyed the TV show. Unfortunately, I was tired, my shoulder was hurting badly and my feet hurt and I did skip my last meal. But things could've been so much worse.

Today I'm so glad that I resisted the momentary impulse. I'm healthier and happier. Check my daily weigh-in.
