Temptation

Well, just a week from the end of NaBloPoMo, I have failed once again. After I totally spaced Saturday's posting, I got frustrated and skipped Sunday's as well. Now recently, I discovered you can change the posting date to something else, and I could change the dates of two posts to make it look like I kept up, but I won't cheat. It will mean more to me when I actually do this thing legitimately.

I also have fallen behind badly on my diet. I did fine at McDonald's Saturday, but then our day at the museum was a bit of a disaster and we were so exhausted on the way home, we decided to stop for dinner, too. And we stopped at Penn Station. I was full after eating half of the sandwich and was prepared to set the rest aside, but it was so darn good that I couldn't stop. That and it was comforting. I admit it. Food is a huge comfort for me, and the past few days have been the kind that made me want to drown my sorrows in caffeine, sugar, and rich chocolate cake. It was tempting not to record all of this at The Daily Plate because it's embarrassing how much I ate, and quite frankly, is a lot of work to enter all of that food! But I did it anyway, and the calorie totals were staggering. What's even more frightening is that I used to eat like that all the time! It's no wonder I gained about 40 pounds in five years. Actually, I can't believe I didn't gain more.

Today, it's back on the horse. Not much damage has been done. I can try NaBloPoMo next month, and tomorrow, I'm back to my normal calorie limit. Wednesday evening will find me chugging away at the Y. Before long, who knows? Maybe I'll even end up getting organized!
