Oh dear. It's so incredibly easy to go off the rails. I tried on Saturday--made the best choice I could at the Mexican restaurant, but we had leftover pizza for dinner. I love pizza in any form. I had two pieces plus a big cabbage salad and a reeses egg. One good thing about trying to control things is that I was actually really full with just these two pieces. Normally, it takes at least five pieces before I begin to feel full.
Yesterday was Easter Sunday. Again, began with good intentions. We had those tube cinnamon rolls for breakfast (shaped like Easter Bunnies--thanks pinterest!). I ate two--which meant 4 rolls. Usually, when I'm really counting 2 means 2 total, not two bunnies. Had a side of a dark chocolate with breakfast--then a small chocolate at church. Then lunch at Lisa's. It was the funeral potatoes that were my undoing. Loaded with cheese and sourcream--I'll take funeral potatoes over candy any day. Then there was the birthday cake. This was my fault. I requested this. A layer of chocolate chip cookie mix. Topped with reeses eggs, topped with a fudge caramel brownie mix.
Ended the day with popcorn. Yes, well. No stars for yesterday or the day before. The rest of this week is iffy as well, but I really think it's a divinely helped iffy. I didn't pull any Free Days for the week, but I DID honestly pull out 2 vegetarian days and a high fiber day. GREAT! Again, my intentions will stay good. But as my last attempt with this program shows, I don't do very well with too much freedom. However, I'll do the best I can and these days will enable to me to get through all of the "exceptions" that are coming up this week and at least technically, still stay on plan. I think that's important.
