Shelley: Day 6 - Garbage It

Day 5 and I didn't get to the gym.  The gym nursery is only open until noon on Sat and we had to go to a baptism.  My husband is out of town, ironically in San Diego, while Dan and Katie are here.  My kids, smelling the weakness that is one parent against three (They are 5, 3, &3), were insanely naughty at the baptism.  My daughter had a full on nuclear meltdown and my family just enjoyed the show.  So I was pretty stressed out, and so ready to leave, but I had left my stupid purse with my keys in the room where they were doing the confirmation so I had to wait with an insane Ella in my arms.  As soon as they finished, I walked in with her screaming and headed straight to the car.  I buckled her in and went back for the other two.  I didn't even say goodbye to my in-laws, I just left.  I knew it was going to be awful and I hate setting myself up for failure of this kind.  I don't like being a grumpy mom and the best way for me to avoid that is to avoid stupid situations.  Anyway, when I left I was so angry and all  I wanted to do was feed my feelings.  I deserved a big fat burrito smothered in creamy cilantro dressing, didn't I???

It was a good thing I didn't get to my house for about 30 minutes.  I was able to calm down and decide it wasn't worth blowing all my hard work.  So I stopped by Cafe Rio and ordered their soup with no cheese, no tortilla strips, and no tortilla on the side.  I still had the angry munchies (Am I the only one who gets these?  It feels insane.).  So I had a few more snacks than I would have liked but I did at least break out a cucumber to fill up on to put an end to the insanity.

For dinner, I got a Papa Murphy's heart pizza (a Valentine's tradition).  I was more tempted that I would have liked and broke down and had some, though not as much as I would have if I didn't have to blog.  Thanks ladies!!

TODAY'S TIP:  Garbage it!

Cindy and Katie have seen this tip before, but it's such a good one, it deserves a repeat!  I've learned that when there is something left on a plate I will snack on it.  I just will.  So to fix this problem I act like a four year old and destroy my unwanted food.  Then, instead of being tempted, I made the decision  once instead of having to constantly remind myself I don't want those calories!

Until tomorrow. . .
