Well today is day two of being back on track. I went a little over, but just a hair over 1300 calories is definitely an improvement. I still haven't been able to string 10 days together without overeating. I had to go on a business trip across the state for training, and I spent 5 hours in my car today. I was good and I brought two healthy snacks - hummus and carrots, and an apple and string cheese. Those are like my go-to snacks and I am running out of enthusiasm to eat them. But I had my snacks. The trainer at the meeting suggested I go to a salad bar place for lunch, and I was psyched. So her directions were crap and I ended up driving around in circles for half an hour. I finally gave up and had a McDonald's salad - not bad for the bacon ranch. I was pissed I gave up half my lunch hour because this girl could not give decent directions. The thing about the meeting was this - directly behind me, on a table, were a dozen glazed donuts, a bag of pretzels and a box of Cheez-Its. The donut didn't really tempt me, because being diabetic you're like no effin' WAY could I eat a glazed donut. Donuts are the work of Satan. But the pretzels and the Cheez-Its, I had to fight the temptation to have some all day. I probably could have handled a small serving carb wise, but all my calories were budgeted for the day and I wasn't about to blow my RDI to eat pretzels or Cheez-Its - really nothing spectacular. Still, the temptation to snack on these salty snacks was there all day long. Coming back to my town on the Turnpike, I was at a truck stop and marvelling at all the sketchy snack options. They had yogurt covered pretzels - my absolute favorite. The label said they were healthy. Yeah right! Also the truck stop had like 10 different varieties of nuts - cashews, pistachios, peanuts, all in salt roast or honey roast, neither of which is very good. Well suffice to say - after having woken up at 4:30am to drive 2 and a half hours to my training, I came back home, ate a salad for dinner, went grocery shopping and came home and put up the groceries, cooked some chicken, and took a bath. Now I'm sitting here in my jammies as I type this. My hip has not hurt at all today. I am so glad. I am going to try to run on it tomorrow night. I think I will just shoot for one mile and work my way up from that.
