I woke up this morning to blue skies. I did a little yoga. I made oatmeal for breakfast... and some green tea. I packed low fat string cheese, some sliced veggies and a bottle of water to take with me for a snack. I was healthy.
By the time I got off work I was craving a juicy, greasy, six dollar portobello mushroom burger from Carl's Jr. like you would not believe.... with fries......................and a drink.
I called my Mom and told her I needed an intervention. I explained my dilemma and she talked it out. Something about "picture 5 of those burgers added to your hips" was very persuading. haha. I love my Mom!
I decided on stopping at the grocery store on the way home for some whole wheat hamburger buns and some garden burgers. I came home and made a delicious lunch. I wrote down how many calories were in everything as I was cooking (because I was curious). I added in all the calories, including the butter I used to saute the mushrooms and onions in. The grand total: 585 Calories. I looked on Carl's Jr. website to see nutritional information. Had I gotten that burger and fries (not including drink or fry sauce that I would have, no doubtingly, drowned my fires in) The grand total....ready for this.... 1420 Calories!
So, I feel great. I avoided temptation. I can put my horrible work day behind me and enjoy what's left of the weekend. Here's a picture of my masterpiece:
For dinner I made tuna salad in a lettuce wrap. Supper healthy and yummy. I'm very proud of myself. Now just to get in the habit and do this everyday!
ReplyDelete...I have also realized that I eat when I'm bored. I need to find a way to combat that. I'm open for suggestions!
