Today I felt like I woke up with a hangover.
Yesterday was pretty interesting; had to face a couple new challenges.
I picked up the kids from school and had to take one of them to the optometerist. After the appointment, we were all hungry (I was about an hour late for a shake) I asked the kids what they wanted to eat and they asked for McDonalds. And while I know they shouldn't eat fast food all the time, the quick convenience of getting them food to stop their whining over ruled my better judgement. My first drive thru... They ordered their food and I ordered a cup of ice. The smell of the French fries was almost unbearable. Before passing the bag to my son, I shoved my face into the bag and took the biggest, longest whiff of French fries that afterwards, I was exhaling their fumes...I miss fast food...nah, just food period. Isn't there something that's supposed to change in us during this program where we don't care or crave for food anymore??? well it's definitely not happening for me anytime soon. I wanted a French frie or a bite of that Big Mac soooo bad! But I stayed strong and poured my shake into the small paper cup of ice.
Later in the day we loaded up and headed out to the first football game of the season...my first semi social event...granted it wasnt surrounded or centered on food, but it was still a lil difficult. Before going to the game, we stopped at Rite Aid to pick up some poster material, drinks, and gum. While there, I told the kids to get snacks since I didn't want to buy any from the snack shack..and for a quick moment I glanced at sunflower seeds and thought about grabbing them because whats a football game without seeds? I forgot for just a split second!! Guess I'd find out what a game without seeds was like :(
I bought myself three drinks, a water and two Lifewaters as I could have any drink with five or less calories. The lifewaters have zero...thank goodness cuz I was getting sick of trying to suck down plain water. The game was fun, kids were hanging out with their friends and we got to see a few people we hadn't seen in a long time. I had a shake and a bar while we there , from 5-10p. It was a late nite and I crashed in bed as soon as I got home.
And like I said earlier I woke up feeling like crap, buuuut, because the boys went to another football game earlier this morning I had to get up for baby girl...and of course she was hungry. It's sad to say I've been on this program for 4 days and this morning was the first meal I've cooked for any of my kids...but it's true. I was dreading going down stairs to cook, anticipating the smells and desire to taste test at least, but I made it through. I made her eggs and Chinese sausage, a breakfast fave of mine. I already knew, while walking down,mwhat I was making for her, so I turned the stove on Hi, put the pan on, got everything out and cooked as fast as I could.. I cracked the eggs in and microwaved the sausage for faster cooking time...threw it all together and my first cooked meal for someone else was done... Picked myself up a glass of ice and headed back upstairs after I gave her breakfast to her.
Gosh I want food!!!!
Im goin back to bed after I down this shake :(
