MIPACKERFAN's CalorieKing blog
Thursday, Feb 7 2008 - What a day!
View MIPACKERFAN's food & exercise for this day
The really scary part is I just figured out how to make all of those smiley faces you guys have been making. Some things I'm real quick on - others, apparently not.
Today has a been a DAY! I started by my waking up, letting the dog out, and realizing that I had shut down our entire e-mail and remote connection system at work. One little click of the mouse and POOF! no mail comes into our office and no one can connect from the outside world. There are little screw ups, and then there are major screw up. This one was major major!
On the home front, my dog has been leaving me "presents" in the back room of the house. I took her to the vet today and found out that doggie diarrhea is going around. Lovely. My carpet is evident of that! The good news is they put her on an antibiotic (trying to give a dog a pill...now that's fun!), and when I came home tonight - no presents! Yeah!
I have to give myself a little pat on the back. The other day I wrote in my blog how it had been so long since I'd had ice cream. For some reason that thought really stayed with me. And with the really horrible couple of days I've had, I've been craving the easy way out. Give me fast food and make me happy.
Just as a sidenote - there was a guest on Oprah today had kept talking about either doing what's easy, or what's good. I've spent too much of my life doing what was easy.
Anyway, you know that feeling when the last thing you want to do is cook. And you're hungry. And you just want food now? That's how it's been the last couple nights. While driving home from the office I've been playing the "which place should I stop at tonight?" game. The little pat on the back comes now - I haven't stopped. I spent all day Sunday cooking so I would have meals through the week. It kind of goes back to that quote I love - fail to plan, plan to fail. I'm trying to save money and lose calories. That last thing I need it so hit some fast food place. So I didn't. I went home and heated up leftovers from the dishes I made on Sunday. Funny how after I was finished eating, the fast food didn't sound so appealing anymore.
I like that I have a goal to work toward. More than just a number, I have a timeframe. I just have to make sure I don't set myself up to fail because I set unrealistic goals, or get too hard on myself when I don't achieve every goal. The BIG goal is to be healthy. Well, and to fit in the airplane seat!
