Another one of the days where I make it just fine until I get home about 7:15. I went to bed at 10, and in between those hours I let the diet go to hell and a hand basket. I’ve really got to figure out how to control myself at night better. No, the dinner meals aren’t in the picture:

I thought breakfast was really good, particularly since I was mentally convincing myself how good a McDonalds sausage McMuffin would taste. How much better for you is an orange, a banana, a yogurt and a small handful of raw nuts and craisins? I have to think a lot better! And a little surprisingly to me but after a snack of a banana mid-morning I had no problem getting to lunch without any hunger pangs. No, I didn’t segment the orange for breakfast, and it would have tasted better if I had, but it still was pretty good. Segmenting an orange is for a special treat.
I did so-so at lunch. Good news is I had a salad bar, didn’t get any pasta salad or anything like that, but I did go a little heavy on the dressing. The low-fat Ranch would have been a better choice. Probably the worst decision is that I also got a bowl of chicken with wild rice soup. Creamy soup, wouldn’t surprise me if the bowl alone was 500 calories. And I felt full after lunch so clearly the salad and yogurt would have been enough. I need to remember that today when I will probably have lunch at the same place, hopefully I can make a better decision. Drivetime snack was a protein bar.
I picked up my son from soccer on the way home from work and got home to some leftover spaghetti that my wife had made. But before I ate that I had a leftover half of a patty melt with some tater tots and then I had the spaghetti. About the only saving grace is that I didn’t eat it all, I heated up about two thirds of what was left and ate all that, but I easily could have reheated everything. So I guess there is that. But I really should have taken pictures, I have to remember that is keeping me honest. Or mostly so.
Of course we are going to a Twins game tonight (will we see the first snow at Target Field?) so dinner choices will be tough again. I’ll do my best.
So how do you think I did? Click a star!
