Monday

246.4.  I can't remember, but I think that's about 1/2 a pound down from yesterday.  I had a small victory just now, but I might still slide, so I'm writing this post to help me get through.

You see, it goes like this. 

I had a quiet evening yesterday, mostly reading dieting blogs (it's hard to describe how helpful they are!).  No TV.  Sat in bed to read, and when it hit 10:30 pm, I turned out the lights, and was out like a light.

Then at 12:30am, we got a fire alarm call at the grocery store - and it was an actual fire!  The fire was out and everything was put back together by about 2:30am, but some of us had to wait at the station for them to reset the alarm and test the sprinklers until .... get this .... 7 am.  They fed us Eggo waffles at 7am, and I had 2 with a little butter and syrup.  Now I'm at work and I am exhausted.  And famished.  I don't normally eat Eggos because they don't hold me for long, but I was starving.

It's times like this when I go to McDonalds and have 2 sausage burritos and a Sausage Egg McMuffin with cheese.  I came close, so close to dropping everything and going to Micky Ds for my what-I-eat-when-I'm-tired comfort food.  But first I looked up the nutritional information on line so I'd know how many calories I'd be putting into MyFitnessPal

That'll be 1170 calories with that Diet Coke!

I could have PART of it, but I know I'm not strong enough to just get one sausage burrito.  The whole order will tumble out of my mouth and I'll be 1170 calories bigger.

So I put the brakes on going out for McDonalds - for now.  In half an hour, they won't be serving breakfast any more and I'll be safe for the day.  I'm writing this to fill up the time until it's 10:30 and too late for breakfast. 

Whew!  I'm SO glad I had the presence of mind to look up the nutrition info!
