Focusing on eating healthy and being healthy.

It's a new day!!


Well, the BBQ went ok, but those darn chips would not leave me alone. They kept jumping on my plate and then in my mouth even when I said ok, a couple of you can jump on....then a few more always seemed to follow without my permission. And to top it off the left over bags of chips said they were coming home with my kids but, you know what, they really came home with us to torment me!! Help, the chips are after me!!! O_o

Ok, so I did good with the food to start with. I had a hamburger with no mayo or ketchup, just the bottom bun then red onion, tomato, and lettuce on the top to hold it all together (like a top bun). That was soooo good! We don't eat red meat in our everyday diet so this was something I have not had in a long time. There was chicken there but, I chose to have a hamburger. I got 3 of three different kinds of chips and a tablespoon of guacamole. The mango salsa and cream cheese was hard to resist and I did have about a 1/4 cup of that....it was so good on the burger too. I had a tablesoon of potato salad. I felt good about these choices then the chips attacked!! Oh...and I can't forget to tell you I did have a cookie too.
Later on we had a lovely slice of cheesecake with berries and whipped cream....my friend always has the best desserts!!!

Today is a new day and I am back on plan. I do feel a bit bloated today though! probably the salt in those darn chips....I wish they would stay away from me....they make me miserable!!
Hope everyone is having a good holiday weekend.

The chips at my mom's house did the same thing to me! lol... Oh, every holiday is filled with so many temptations!
You are right though, today is a new day and we just need to get right back on plan!

Chips tend to scream my name when I walk near them!! I can usually do without sweets but chips are definitly something I have to run from. Sounds like you did well though. You were aware of what you were eating, and made the decision to eat what you wanted, and that is most of the battle. Congratulations on doing well, and getting back up and starting again!
