I started the week off with a Monday night Spinning class, and I put my inner geek on full display when the first song was Neil Diamond’s “Coming to America”! I adore Neil Diamond, and I happily sang along.
My boyfriend and I went grocery shopping after my class, and since I hadn’t eaten yet, I started to feel woozy and ready to gnaw on a cardboard box. The store had a Subway nearby, so we decided to duck in there before heading home. I spotted the steak ‘n cheese sub on the menu, but I ordered the roasted chicken instead. Problem was, I was so hungry, I ordered the 12 inch sub without thinking.
When I got it, I almost wanted to hand half of it back. What was I thinking? A 12 inch sub? Double the calories? Ugh. But I ended up eating half and wrapping the rest up to take home, and I saved it for my lunch today.
That may not seem like a big deal, but not long ago, I would have hit McDonald’s drive-through on the way home and thought nothing of a huge value meal, size large, please. Oh, and an apple pie.
Today at work I had my performance review, and it went really well. I got a nice raise, which I am very excited about! My first thought was going out to dinner to celebrate, but eating out is such a trigger for me. I don’t want it to kick off bad eating the rest of the week. I might wait until after weigh in on Saturday!
