isn't it funny when you tell someone how they should've done something but then you turn around and do the same thing that they shouldn't have done. for example, on my way home yesterday i called relly like i always do and asked what he was doing. he was out grabbing something to eat for lunch. i went on and on about how he should've just made lunch instead of wasting money on things that we have at home: bread, lunch meat and a bag of chips. i concluded by saying how proud i was of me for not wasting my hard earned money on such foolish things.
fast forward to this morning. got home from the gym about 5:04 am. fooled around for a while, took a shower, got dressed, got my son up, got him dressed, packed my son's lunch looked at the clock and it was 5:52 a.m. two minutes after i should have left the house. so i left, without even as much as an apple for myself. the only thing in my lunch bag was my shoes. i fretted the entire drive to work because i know how expensive and unhealthy it is to eat out. but i had no choice. i pulled my car into subway and purchased a six inch and a yogurt parfait. for a total of $5.80. and i'm getting ready to order my breakfast, scrambled eggs with cheese, bacon and wheat toast. another $5.40. bringing my total to $11.20. i guess i owe relly an apology. i want to justify it by saying i eat out tops 1-2 time a month and he's more like 8-15 so my little $20 doesn't hurt us much. but when you're tyring to buy a house and lose weight every little bit counts. lead by example, right?
at least i didn't cave and have a donut this morning. my co-worker brings in a dozen donuts every friday and i've often turned him down. but this morning since i've had no breakfast i was eager to get my hands on one. got over to the box and there was nothing but chocolate covered this and jelly filled that. not my cup of tea. THANK GOD!! i love an old fashioned glaze donut and there wasn't one in the box. saved me about 700 calories. but a little birdie told him what my favorite donut was and he said he's gonna bring me a dozen next week. i think i might be sick friday **cough, cough**
