Day 1

Well it started out great! Determined not to stray (or at least to far) off the I want to loose weight path. Had an raisin english muffin with a hint of peanut butter for that needed protein, for breakfast. I had plans to go out for the day shopping with the girls. So while I was waiting on them to pick me up I went out to my gym. The garage. I have treadmill, exercise bike, ab lounger, hand weights and TV with VCR and DVD player hooked up. I walked for a few minutes and thought I was going to die. So I got on the bike till they showed up. I was determined only a salad for lunch no fries no fatty hamburger. Stores had little mini candy bars,NO I didn't touch. I grabbed a diet cola before I left and sucked it down fast. I limit myself to one a day, so now it is water. I got water on the trip and no problem with that. LUNCH oh no I can feel my self starting to waver. Please oh please let me say salad. We we stopped at a Wendy's ugh!!!! This is a fast food joint I never stop at. I used to really enjoy their Mandarin Chicken Salad but they got rid of it and I haven't stopped at one since. Getting a hamburger, not no but hell no. I believe they have the worst excuse for a burger that can be. Ok ya think I like Wendy's. I don't even like their fries I think they big blah tasting so choice was salad or baked potato. Well I know I do like the cheddar and broccoli potato but no go with a salad. I got the southwest salad. I love salads as long as they are good and of course you know the good is what makes a salad fattening. I had never had a SW here a Wendy's so he put the salad in a bag and the fork and dressing and I grabbed to go before I could say OH add a frosty. I here the male worker Mam you forgot you chili. I turn around with a dumbfounded look on my face saying I didn't order chili. He explains it goes on the salad. so I put the dressing on the salad and umm it is pretty good. I could do this again. So what about the chili? What the heck pour a little on. HMM not bad and dump the rest on. so I am sure that little ole salad just had my daily calories. Damn why did I put that chili on there I was doing so good up till then. so the next store had little fun size candy bars oh just take one for later. Then one of the stops had soup bread and cookies for us to sample. A friend tried the soup and her face showed it all. No need for me to try it. Now last week I would have anyway, knowing that not everyone has the same taste but this week just take her worked for it. So I skipped over the bread with no problem, I mean they looked like wonderful freshed baked rolls but bread is something I can leave real easy. But oh those cookies! I deserve one, I mean I haven't veered to far off so I took one, just one and I savored every little bite. Then I ran the heck out of the store. Sitting around here at the house at night alone. Hubby goes to bed early for work I get bored and this is the time I really nibble and I know this is the time that kills me.I ate that small little candy bar and then found another in a sack of my purchases. Yep at it too. Oh I found some tortilla chips sitting on the counter and I thought Heck I have messed up already so just go for it and get em out of here. Yep had tortilla and salsa. Then fell asleep in the chair. Yep all that went straight to fat. I don't feel I did too bad on this first day but I know I could do better. Hmm lets see what today brings
