Oh my goodness guys, I’ve lost it! Just can’t stop eating the junk food today! Now, normally, at the end of the day, I’m just a tad under 30% protein just because of the 2 packets of sugar (don’t talk to me about artificial sweeteners…yuck) I have in my morning espresso macchiato, and because I can’t end dinner without something sweet. Usually it’s a small bowl of ice cream or a few hershey’s miniatures. Not too terrible.

But today…I do not know what’s going on. It started with breakfast—I was running late, had to stop for gas, and when I got there, I had to go to three different pumps before I found one that was actually working, and then it wouldn’t take my card and I go in twice before the attendants got it fixed. Aargh!! So I got to the coffee shop and knew I didn’t have time to make another stop, so I got an apple fritter. Yes, an apple fritter. Then at lunch, I decided to try out this Thai place, and the Pad Thai sounded really good (rice noodles with crushed peanuts, egg and beef with a spicy sauce). It was wonderful! I didn’t eat all of the noodles, but I did eat about half of them because there wasn’t nearly as much meat as I expected. And then this afternoon, someone brought in cookies…you know the soft sugar cookies with a thick layer of frosting? Now I LOVE these cookies, but usually I can pass them right on by without much thought. Not today. I didn’t have one just because they were there. I WAS actually hungry. Needless to say, though, not the best choice. At least today is not a lifting day—or the day after a lifting day. I’m more careful on those days. I actually lift tomorrow. And at least I still have dinner to redeem myself. LOL.

Has anyone else had one of these days?
