Garbage That GOO!

Eating cave-in last night

I had a 10% meal all planned, Papa Murphy's Gourmet Chicken Bacon Artichoke DeLITE thin crust pizza. On a workout day, I figured it wouldn't be so bad. And I do like to eat close to maintenance on Mondays.

Trouble was, for whatever reason, yesterday I was really physically hungry. I ate before my workout, I drank whey protein/water after, I had my oatmeal when I got home and then three hours later I made a HUGE salad... one with close to 4 cups of various veggies and topped with 3 ounces of salmon. Also used a serving of Annie's Naturals Tuscany Italian Dressing on top of that. So, I was not lacking in protein or fats... but I ate that salad and was hungry after. Not boredom hungry, but actual hunger pangs going on.

I waited 10 minutes. Hunger still there. I ate a tablespoon of almonds. Waited a little longer. No change. I ate two slices of reduced fat swiss cheese. Still hungry.

At that point, I realized it was getting late and I needed to go pick up the pizza before the joint closed. So I did that. I was still feeling very hungry in the car. I headed to Albertson's, thinking that I could buy a Power Bar and maybe stave the hunger off.

BIG MISTAKE... NEVER go to the store when hungry!

Entering the store, the first thing to meet my eyes was a shopping cart piled high with assorted Easter candy on a HALF PRICE SALE. Including BAGS and BOXES of my favorite, Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs.

ARRRRGGGGHHH! Intense cravings were hitting! But I resisted the bags and boxes. I really didn't want to go there, because I know myself. I'd eat the bag or most of it in a sitting. Same for the box of six.

I got the Power Bar... but it was not the Power Bar I craved. So, I caved and bought 2 Reese's Big Cups. Well, two of those were still better than a bag full of the PB eggs, but that's about the only good I can find. I ate my goodies upon getting home. Then had the pizza two hours later.

NOT a good eating day, 3400 calories! My weigh-in was AWFUL today!

Having to write this post... also not fun.
