Week 2 is over and was probably one of the hardest weeks yet. The week itself wasnt hard until like Thursday when I noticed I was willing to chop off my arm for a chocolate chip cookie or a piece of lemon marange pie. We left for our little family vacation to Missouri for my cousin's wedding and things kind of went downhill from there. Eating on the road is tough and I really didnt do enough planning for snacks and such. We stopped in a little town that only had a Wendy's, a McDonalds, and a Sonic. I am a little burned out of McD's because its my go-to spot here at home. (a salad fits well in to my calorie count) We choose Wendy's because thats the boys favorite. I picked a Single Bacon Deluxe meal with a ceaser side salad(no croutons) instead of fries and an unsweetened tea. For dinner, we had bbq at the rehersal dinner. To sum up the day, while I tried to make some good choices to substitute for poor options, I still went over my calorie count.

My plan for the day didnt go exactly as plan and I spent most of the day running from one place to the next to divert the potential disasters that seem to try to pop up on wedding days. For breakfast, I had 2 english muffins and some grapefruit. For lunch, it was Chipolte and came in at 900 calories, yuck! I normally cant eat the whole bowl but because of my crappy breakfast and some added stress, I was STARVING and ate the whole thing. Dinner at the wedding was Penne Alfredo and Grilled Chicken with a dinner salad. I ended up eating 2 salads because again I was hungry and by the end of the night I had adopted an "I dont care, its my free eating day" mentality. Which is a problem. I had a piece of cake at the wedding, and once we got back to the hotel, I binged on 3 Papa Johns breadsticks with garlic butter AND cheese sauce, and some chocolates from the Russel Stover's store my sister brought me as a present. Eating on the way home from vacation went about the same as on the way down, not so good. I skipped dinner because I felt so guilty about eating so much that weekend.
The lesson I learned, the point of my one free eating day a week, is not to purge on as much food as I can put in my mouth, but to just
