Tonight I had a good time with my sisters and Mom at an impromptu dinner in Kokomo. It was a lot of fun, but we were at Hacienda, and chips happened...and ranch....and amaretto....
On the ride home I really wanted a Starbucks. We were going to go to one in Kokomo but it had already closed.I tried to get to another one in Noblesville, but it taunted me with its music coming from the radio and random lights left on in the lobby. Whose smart idea was it to pipe music into the midnight air of a closed establishment so quietly that only those caffeine-starved hopeful patrons can hear its mocking lullaby?
I wasn't happy.
I now wanted ice cream.
I came to the McDonald's sign and nearly turned in -- thank the Lord I didn't!
But then I came to 37 and 126....and the evil M shown bright in the sky (see below), beckoning me with the shimmer of golden arches.
Yeah, God was there. This speaker mocked me too - not with music, but with a sign sloppily apologizing "ice cream broken - mgmt"
How can Ice Cream break?
How is that even possible???
I raced home, not looking left at the M at 96th on exit 3, not looking right at the M on Graham and Binford, rushed straight inside and got the Shakeology going.
I was already over my calorie goal for the day, but chocolate ShakeO and PB2 is better than alternative, right?
I have to get back on track with my eating -- as my screenshot shows below, I'm up to 358 again! No time for depression or excuses - yes I went to NYC, but I controlled what went in my mouth - tomorrow is the first day of the rest of my life!



Boom! That just happened. What a great win! Choosing to do Chocolate ShakeO instead of McD or Starbucks is spectacular! You were NOT meant to have that coffee or that ice cream. YOU ARE STRONG!
ReplyDeletei completely agree with your livelifehappy post heidi, but i think it's a lot more than just the weight loss. i think it has to be a whole change, or there will continue to be hiccups that build on each other and become craters.
