Diet Day 1

OhmyGod.  Thank you barometer pants.  I get it.  I'm back on the diet.

No no no.  Not the diet, but the eat-more-properly plan.  The count my calories so I don't over-indulge plan.  The allow-myself-to-eat-whatever-I-want-as-long-as-I-stay-within-my-allotted-calorie-bank plan.

And it's day one.  I did well with lunch, fixing myself a very well balanced meal with lots of delicious food: grilled cheese, veggie soup, half a peach, and carrots (gotta have that crunch!).  All for 500 calories.  Stopped myself from snacking a few hours later.  But then I went to Walgreens to meet someone to purchase a lamp from them (through a website similar to Craigslist).  I was waiting for 20 minutes and they never showed.  So while I was waiting (it was HOT), I went in to get a drink.  I didn't go down the candy aisle (good girl Blair), but at the counter, by the scanner, were peanut M&M's.  I bought.  I ate.  I enjoyed.  And I wasted 250 calories.  So I'm going super strict on dinner.  I'm eating it before I go to work, and after work, I will allow myself a 100 calorie popcorn pack.  Sticking to it is hard.  But I'm doing better today than other days!

And as an aide, I'm keeping a food diary.  That has always helped to keep me on track.  Hopefully this time will be no exception! :)
