Off the wagon and ran over

I fell off the WW grid this weekend. Honestly, I hit the 5lb mark and went haywire. I *tried* recording everything... but that failed. And mentally, I *knew* I was going over my  daily points...

It started with the road trip on Saturday with Wendy. It started out well enough- I had cereal and a banana before getting to her house. I packed apples, pretzels, luna bars, and other healthy snacks. Then, we went to Vince and Joe's... It's a fairly healthy Italian market out by my parents. Of course, I ordered a HUGE piece of Spinach Pie (my FAVORITE), but changed my mind- more for budgetary reasons over diet reasons though (it was $7 for the piece!). Wendy walks out with a mini-container of cubed cheese. I should have known right there it was going to go downhill... we then head to the soccer game, where I ate pretzels and- of course- cheese. I figure I ate about... 8oz of cheese? Yeah, that sounds about right. Then, we go grab lunch and we split a piedmontese burger and onion rings from my favorite restaurant in the world- The Red Coat Tavern. Have you had piedmontese beef before? It only has 1.8 grams of fat and 114 calories/ serving. It's nuts - it's just as healthy as a piece of fish. Of course, the onion rings totally knocked out any health benefit I would have had from it... Dinner consisted of snacking at a housewarming party- "snacking" being a full burger, 2 ribs (only 2!), 6-7 tortilla chips with nacho toppings (but not cheese and only 1 spoonful of ground beef), and ice cream.

Sunday wasn't a whole lot better. I was learning to knit with Dana, so as a thank you, I bought pokey sticks to share. Dinner wasn't too bad, but I probably could have done without the quesidilla at Pancheros.

It's a new day. It's time for a new start. Right? I've written everything down today, I plan on going to the gym or taking Daisy for a looooong walk tonight, and I already have a plan for dinner. Planning is half the battle- the other half is getting back on the horse after falling off.
