Wo-"Man Up"

Might as well put it out there, just like Tiger did..."I cheated"!! No, not like that, but we did the Wendy's drive thru last night. I know I shouldn't have, and that it is going to have a negative impact on my weigh in tomorrow, but damn it all, I wanted a big old, juicy, bad for me burger. And of course, no splurge would be complete without those nasty French fries. So there you have it, I am a cheater. Now, I don't know which is worse, the actual cheating, or the fact that today I'm really not feeling all that guilty. I stayed on the plan all day long, but about 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon I got a splitting headache and decided I would not be cooking dinner. Yes, I am well aware that there are healthy options out there, and I DID consider them. But I simply could not get the image of that burger out of my mind. :( I mentioned this craving to Hubby Dearest, and in an instant he was off to Wendy's for our dining pleasure.

Up to this point, I had actually done pretty well this week. We were out with friends Sat. night, and we might possibly have spent an extra moment or two in the bar, but I had planned for that eventuality. I was feeling fairly good about dodging that bullet. I'm back on track so far today, and I'm not stressing out about my evening of debauchery, I just thought that in the interest of full disclosure (mostly to myself) I should admit the error of my ways. I'm sure I can knock this burger and fries off fairly soon, but it most likely will affect my weigh in stats, and put me one week behind in my goal. That bothers me more than the actual ingestion of the burger and fries.

I'm ok with a small slip now and then, I've actually accounted for that in my 1# per week goal, I think. However, I don't think a burger and fries really amounts to a small slip. I'm going to dance and extra few minutes today, and do a few more minutes of weight training, then continue to do a bit more as the week progresses. I'll get the burger worked off, and I'll be back in the ballgame!!
