note to self: choose on purpose.
Summer can be a little busy. We can find ourselves out and about. And hungry.
Yesterday, I had a Quarter Pounder with Cheese for lunch. No fries, and with a Diet Coke, but still. Today, I had my FAVORITE salad, a Grilled Southwest WITH the southwest dressing even. So yesterday? 510 calories and 26 grams of fat. Today? 420 calories and 15 grams of fat. Still not great. But better. Not better than eating at home. But better than the day before. And really, that’s all I’m going for. Better than the day before. Baby steps. Baby steps. (and I’m filling out the exercise log again)

Fast food. It’s so difficult to know what’s the right thing to have. Those fat grams are the sneakiest things! When my husband and I used to spend our summer weekends going to auctions (which were all day) I would pack a cooler with food to eat. I’d pack salads, cooked chicken breasts, veggies and other assorted snacks. I put almonds and pecans into baggies, so I could pop them in my pocket to munch on.
It’s been almost a year since I’ve had fast food, but have I seen any weight loss? Nope. LOL
Ouch. Ouch. Ouch.
More information than I really wanted, but not more than I needed, darn it!
