The Best Laid Plans

Not much time to write tonight - last minute reading to do for tomorrow's stats class. Nothing really remarkable happened today, at least not on the diet front, except that I passed by Rosie's Bakery and barely even noticed. That's about a week of Rosie abstention. I think I deserve a cookie. OK, not a cookie. Maybe just a pat on the back, which I am giving myself right now. Tomorrow is up early (for me), off to the doctor, the gym, class and work. I can hardly contain my excitement. But one thing I have learned in this journey is the importance of being prepared. Which of course requires planning. I spend a good amount of time every night preparing my meals, and when my schedule deviates from normalcy, I literally write down when and what I'm going to eat. I am realizing that there are so many things that can go wrong (Murphy's Law), that if you don't have a plan, you're really screwed. Like I was reading on Rob's blog today, he at least had a lunch he brought to work, so when something else came up, he had a plan. If he didn't, he might have indulged in pizza. And who could blame him? Certainly not me, I love pizza. Especially sausage pizza! Today, I was cooking a meal at work, in the toaster oven, when lo and behold, a fuse blows. So I'm looking at raw meat, knowing that if I didn't eat at that time, my eating schedule for the day would have been all jacked up. So I stayed late at work, ate my burger in the car, and pretty much stayed on track for the day. It's actually been amazing to me how on track I have stayed since my horrible weekend. Of course, it's only been 2 days, but still - I have avoided carbs, and really not even been tempted. I really am trying to do everything in my power to see the scale move this week. I wanna wear my new sneakers! And I want a star on my calendar. :) It's the little things in life...
