Boring Day
I haven't done much today.. just went out to Wendy's and did some grocery shopping. I'm annoyed that the store I go to ran out of my trail mix. I'm getting mixed berries instead for my oatmeal. I've been trying to stick to my diet, but went way over my calories today. I know today is going to be a gain day. I need to learn how to say 'no" to fast food. That's what got me back into the 230's from my low of 208 pounds. I haven't been walking lately since I've been having knee problems. I have a doctor's visit tomorrow and I hope they remember that I called in transportation last week. I don't know how long in advance I could get it. I hate calling the transportation people since they take forever to answer the phone. But I should be okay.
I've been having a lot of stomach issues (another reason to stay away from fast food). I just have to be prepared for lunches, since that's when I'm the most tempted to get fast food. I left chicken out yesterday and when I came home it was rotten. I had to take it out special to the dumpster so it didn't stink up the apartment. I felt so bad.. that was 3 pounds of chicken that I ruined. I know now to put it in the fridge and let it thaw there. There's nothing I can do about it now.

I have made that same mistake with leaving out food to thaw and it can get nasty, and you get so mad at yourself, money and then you don\'t have anything to eat. is that why you went to Wendy\'s? I know you have a hard time with fast food, along with millions of others, and you were doing so great by allowing yourself a once a week treat. maybe you can slowly work back to that, I understand completely that fear you have about the weight rolling back on. as for a gain day, it will only be for that day and I bet if you don\'t weigh yourself today the next you would be the same. I am sorry about your knee, I relate as mine is really hurting, but life has to go on. many hugs and feel better
*hugs* Thanks for the encouragement! I didn\'t go to Wendy\'s because I messed up the chicken... I went because I wanted to get out and have their chili (which is pretty healthy) and a potato (no butter or sour cream). I defrosted some chicken thighs to eat for dinner yesterday.
sounds like you did ok at chili\'s, I don\'t think I could have a potato with nothing on it!
I went to Wendy\'s and I pour their chili on my baked potato. It\'s really yummy and low calorie.
You are right about the chili and potatoe
We all have made a mistake with food. Something we all have to figure out. Sometimes it maybe that the food was going bad already. How long did you leave it out? It was frozen ?
It was frozen and I took it out the night before and didn\'t put it in the fridge like I should have when I got up. So it got left out all night and all day.
huge loss. i do stuff like that too, same with refridgerator, put things in there and forget they are there. if your apartment is warm it goes bad faster.
the chili and potato sounds great. just like chili cheese fries but healthier! xxoo
