NO MORE SHAKES I PROMISE, STEPHIE!!!
I know better so why did I do it? I knew the chocolate shake would do me in. I used all my points in one meal. Yes, people you heard me right. I forgot to blog about it earlier. I guess I had to come to terms with my mistake. I had it right after my doctor appointment today. We went to my favorite restaurant in Rochester. I had chicken wings, baked potato, cottage cheese, and the chocolate shake. The shake was 16 points. Ugh!! Here’s where I have to practice what I preach. I have to pick myself up, dust myself off, and move on. I’m going to do this.
My foot is doing pretty good this evening. It’s aching a bit. I’ve not done a whole lot of walking on it. I’ve had it on ice and elevated because it was swollen. I have therapy tomorrow and I’m sure it’ll take on a completely different meaning. I want to begin walking for more than one reason. Walking will put my food back in my hand. I’ll be able to eat what I fix and really watch my intake of what I eat. The eating out and preprocessed food will stop. I’ll eat breakfast. I’ll also be able to exercise and earn exercise points.
I promised my sister in law and most importantly myself that I will not drink any more chocolate shakes. I will keep this promise. I want my spa weekend. I want her to have it to. Steph is my biggest supporter and my best friend. She helped me throw my dew away last night that my guys got me that I didn’t ask for. She helped me through my problem today as well. She’s awesome. Stephie, I couldn’t do this without you.
You know, we all have these days and then smack ourselves on our foreheads and think, WHY THE HELL DID I DO THAT? STUPID, STUPID, STUPID!!
The lesson to be learned here, is that it happens, this will not be your first or your last, what truly matters is that we learn from our missteps. Maybe next time, you’ll have the shake and nothing else! Hang in there kiddo, this is a struggle for all of us, but you’re conscious of what you’re doing and not doing and have a wonderful support buddy—KUDOS to Steph!
I had to laugh when I read the title. You know I love you and I only have your best intrests at heart. We are going to do this. I hated texting you that I went over my points today by who knows how much. We are going to have days like this. And we will get through them. Just remember…
NO MORE SHAKES. (unless I am there to and we will split it) 8pts are better
I had a shake on Saturday too. Why, I don’t know, because I don’t really even like chocolate shakes. DUH!!! What was I thinking???? The combo with a shake was on sale at the restaurant we were at, and my husband got one and so I did too. I ate grilled chicken and fries, that would’ve been bad enough… but no, I added a shake! ????
I’m with you - no more shakes!
