woopsiedaisy!
After my doo-gooder post last evening, R came home from his event hungry. Apparently the lines to the food were out of this world and he decided to come home and skip the food.
And that's where things went downhill. We went out because he didn't want to eat anything we had in the house. I had a plan to just order a little snack, but that's not exactly what happened. The food was before me, and I didn't want to reason myself out of eating it. So I ate it :(
We brought quite a bit of it home with us as well, and heating up the leftovers seemed a better idea than making my oatmeal.
So, clearly, I need to work on this. I want to be able to order sensibly when out with R. Also need to have food in the house that is easy for him to fix himself when we find ourselves in this predicament again. He's leaving for work for a couple months, which leaves me to fend for myself. This will make it easier for me to get a grip on what I need to do for myself before he comes back. My challenge will be getting over the gloomies after he leaves. It's a good thing I'm working on my focus now before he goes, even if I did have a lapse in judgment last night and this morning.
I don't expect things to go perfectly. I really just want to be able to move forward after these things happen. If my next two meals are healthy, I will already be creating a different outcome. My history has been that when I blow it, I continue blowing it for several meals ahead.
I'm off today. R has to do some things this afternoon. I'm going to have a nice mid-day soak in the tub with an art quilt book to inspire my creative mind. When I'm creative, my focus on food disappears. So I think creating something beautiful this afternoon will help keep things on track.
One more thing I want to accomplish in the month of October. I still haven't finished "Healthy at 100." R got me the book ages ago, and I just skimmed it. I'm going to start it from the beginning and learn something from it.
