Breakfast:
* Ordered a Croissanwich MEAL from Burger King. What the heck? THANKFULLY after taking two bites, I got stuck and semi-PB'd while driving on the highway over Afton Mountain. Try that in the fog. Drank tea the rest of the morning. Tossed the rest.
Lunch:
* The church where I was doing my presentation brought in lunch. I took a quarter of a sandwich - perfect size and amount of meat and cheese. Did I stop there?!?!? No... I also ate some potato chips and dip and a piece of cake (1 inch).
Snack #1:
* Got in the car to drive south to my next presenation, and got a cup of coffee at DD - PLUS 4 chocolate munchkins. SERIOUSLY... WHAT THE F*&^?
Snack #2:
* Middle of presentation ... I bring candy for everyone else. I succumbed to a small kitkat and 2 inches of Coke. Real Coke. Full Sugar. They had water. Did I freaking choose THAT? No. Burp in the middle of my presentation. Nice.
Early Dinner:
* After finishing my 2nd presentation and fighting a hell of a backache from driving for 4 hours and standing for 4 hours, I stop at Arby's. Ordered cheese sticks and chicken nuggets. SERIOUSLY SARAH?!?!? (A) what the hell makes you think you can even eat that much and (B) did you lose your brain on the highway with all the traveling??? Ate one nugget. It was cold and and didn't go down well so I tossed the rest. Ate 3 cheesesticks (sigh). Damn they were good. For a total of $7, they should have been.
Mid Drive:
* Got pulled over and got my first F&^$ing speeding ticket. $126. Thankfully, he backed me down a bit so I wouldn't get so many freaking points. F*&^%ing south-west virginia highway full of setting sun in my eyes and truckers. Couldn't possibly be MY fault.
Late Dinner:
* Total stress eating, had a small bowl of Wendy's Chili...
AAARRRGGGHHH.... Thank God the Retreat Center where I am has NOTHING HERE Except a bottle of water. Maybe I can pull myself together before the 6 hour drive home tomorrow (alone and on cruise-control). The only good thing was that I didn't drink at all with my meals. Work with me people. I'm looking for ANY SILVER LINING I CAN! ~*~*~*~*~ Stepping back from the situation, I actually didn't eat all that much more than I am supposed to, but the CHOICES I am making... wassup wit dat?!?!? I mean, come on... bread, chocolate, cake, candy, soda... everything I'm supposed to NOT eat. (sigh) Thank God tomorrow is a new day. I have a feeling I won't be liking Friday's weigh in amount.

Maybe being out of your comfort zone put choices in front of you, you wouldnt normally make.. actually make that DONT normally make by the sounds of past posts.
I think it was one of those OFF days Sarah. Tomorrow will be heaps better and you will find "good Sarah" has kicked "evil Sarah" back to the kerb.
Maybe you feel like you deserve it after reaching that big goal - the 5K? Or just plain old stress. Its not that bad. The best thing is recognizing what's going on - good for you.
I had an OFF day today too after I found out my flight was cancelled to get to my fill and I can't go until next week. Stress eating. Tomorrow is another day!
Meanwhile, I had to laugh at the mid-presentation burp! LOL!
I think maybe there is something in the air - I've eaten six cupcakes over the past two days...I don't have my band yet, so I am guess I am happy it isn't that much worse.
Excuse me...did my soul travel to live in your body? I dont know what in the hell is wrong with us sometimes. But I thank you for posting this bc it makes me feel better knowing that you...whom (who?) a model bandster...has Amy moments.
By the way, my word verification is ration...is blogger speaking to us?
Sarah- you know what it happened ! Yes it wasnt the best choices but it happened !! The best thing is that you recognize that it wasnt the best choices and that tommorow is another day where you can go back to making the right choice that you have been all along. Many of the articles that I've read at biggest losers etc etc all say that the most important thing is to not give up after one day of mistakes but to get right back on the horse and carry on !!
Seriously, it was like you were channeling Amy. I just cracked up at all your descriptiveness! Too funny, you'll be back on the wagon and I'm sure the run will take care of any extra calories! Have a safe drive home.
Sarah, you are such an honest chick! Too bad about the ticket that is the only thing you can't change tomorrow. God does give us a new day to practice making better choices. Your pictures are looking so good. Take care and set that speed control!
Thanks all... I know today is a new day... and I am going to do my best to make decent choices on my drive home!!!
Okay - today is a new day. Spend some time planning - go to the grocery store and pick up some high protein snack foods like cheese and nuts and then package them in tiny servings. Also plan ahead and prepare some easy-to-grab meals for days when you travel - a great one is to wrap a piece of cheese in a slice of ham or roast beef. Chicken salad, shrimp salad, ham salad, egg salad, any of the salads that you can put 1/2 cup serving of into a small thermos so you can tote-n-go. Get a good insulated lunch bag. If you have the food with you it's a lot easier to pass up stopping on the road.
I just found your blog today.. and I'm so glad I did. I'm releived to read honest words.. that other bandsters also make bad choices and eat things they KNOW might get stuck. I've been beating myself up over my attempt on a Belgian waffle. Thanks for showing me we all have bad food days and I'm not alone. ~Jennifer
