It was a crazy day at work. We have a huge conference next week and all the last minute prep was overwhelming. It was stressful but I was handling it with humor and a list. I forgot to bring my lunch so I ran to pick up some KFC grilled chicken. I was well within my calorie limit with this choice and glad that I had more than enough calories left over for dinner. Today is a day that I don't exercise so I am always pretty careful about my food on those days.
Later a friend called and said she was going to run by Sonic and pick up her lunch and a chocolate milkshake. Oooooooohhhhhhh, milkshake! I asked her to bring me a small chocolate milkshake. Yum.
She walked in with the milkshake and I tasted it. SO good but . . . what is that taste? This is not just chocolate. She tasted it. Chocolate peanut butter. Wow. Even better. I slurped that yummy concoction down and finished some more conference prep.
Later I pulled up my Daily Plate on Livestrong.com to record my decadent treat. WHAT THA?????????????? A small chocolate peanut butter milkshake from Sonic is 678 freakin' calories!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh my goodness. I typed it into my Daily Plate and I have one, yes one, calorie left for dinner. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
The moral of the story . . . take the time to look it up before you decide to eat it.
Stupid, stupid, stupid.
Oh I will join you in stupid, Tere...Today while I sat at the hospital waiting for Don to get his new pacemaker... I ate two cookies, and that started avalanche of going down hill, banana bread, hot dog, etc, etc. and now I sit here saying what were you thinking. you've been so good for weeks now and the weight is coming off....
ReplyDeleteSo... tomorrow is a new day for both of us. But I must say 1 calorie for dinner really sucks!!
It is soooo easy once you start, isn't it. But like you said, tomorrow is another day. So glad Don did well.
