None too often do things go "as planned" with me. I am grateful that things usually go much better than I had planned, but often they do not.
Today (Friday) is a day they went as planned. I stuck to The Plan. I ate what I was supposed to, walked, watched for my potential weak areas, etc.
Two very big temptations were part of today. The first was dining out at El Mezquite (or as we call it, "Skeeterville"). This is my favorite place to eat, but the chips, well, I can handle a whole basket all by myself. The queso dip is superlative and everything tastes better with a scoop of guac and a scoop of sour cream. I was able to resist all of it. I had a few pieces of chips, but not much more.
The second big temptation was the Fun Fest Car Show. North Manchester's Fun Fest is an OK festival, but the Car Show is the big event. And with all the old Chevys, Model A's, street rods, and restored vehicles, there are also elephant ears and lemon shake ups, corn dogs and deep fried you-name-its. I can't say I didn't want anything. But I was alble to resist.
How was resistance possible? Because I stuck to the plan during the day. I wasn't hungry. My body was satisfied with what I had eaten and so my weak will was able to stand up to my stomach, because my stomach really didn't have much to complain about.
I need to stick to the plan more often. :-)
Here's today's journal:
Weight: 235.0, up 6/10 from yesterday. I've been bouncing around 234.5 and 235 the last few days, which tells me I've had a good stable drop.
Breakfast: four strips of bacon, three eggs fried in the bacon grease
Dinner: Low Carb burger at Hardee's, side salad, 1T dressing
Supper: Grilled Chicken tossed salad at El Mazquite with pico de gallo and 1T dressing
No snacking today - didn't feel the need to
