I had my hair done yesterday – thankfully, because it was long overdue and I was looking pretty tragic, lol.
Anyway, we (my hairdresser and I) discussed donuts the ENTIRE time. 😯 She mentioned a local place is closing – the place I used to love to go for donuts, you know, back when I ate things like that. I was so tempted to rush over there and buy a dozen (or two! or three!!) – before they’re gone forever. SO tempted.
Instead I called in a huge salad and stopped by Walgreen’s on the way to pick it up… and bought a stash of sugar free candy. 😛 Anything to save me from the donut binge! #closecall – – I really impress myself sometimes.
Seriously, the entire two hours. We talked donuts. And carbs. Do you have any idea how much I was squirming in that “hair chair”?! lol… UGH!
It’s bad enough that my day started out with a “nastygram” about my weight. Keep reading. 😉 Here’s how my day went…
Wednesday’s Low Carb Food Journal
I kicked the day off with two cups of coffee, then had to run a few errands. Hardee’s starts serving lunch at 10:30am (yay!) so I had a Low Carb Thickburger as a late breakfast. I ordered it plain since I was driving: meat, cheese & lettuce = zero carbs.
I worked through lunch so I just ate some leftover sausage, a slice of colby jack cheese off the block and half a cup of pecan halves – and yes, I weighed my cheese on my digital kitchen scale and ate my pecans out of a measuring cup! 🙂
My dinner was take-out from Applebee’s. I love (LOVE!) their carside-to-go service! 🙂 I got a Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad and added an order of Grilled Shrimp to it. I was hungry, and I knew that would make two meals for me.
I mentioned that I stopped on the way and got some sugar free candy. I chose the Russell Stover Pecan Delights, and sugar free York Peppermint Patties. YUM! I only ended up eating one piece of candy, but there was great comfort in knowing I had two full bags – for some crazy reason. 😛
I had a pounding headache in the evening so I laid down for about an hour, then finished my salad when I got up – with another 1/2 cup of pecans on top! There is something beautifully delicious about the flavor combination of pecans in a Caesar Salad. 🙂
Here’s my MyfitnessPal Diary for yesterday:

Not bad for such a long day, starting at 6am’ish and lasting till past 2am. 😛
Speaking of, this was me (and Mr. Sulley) – just after midnight (LOL):
That picture sums me up fairly well, haha! I ordered those heels online, and LOVE them. They are super comfortable for 4″ heels. And fancy. 🙂 I’m headed to Vegas this weekend, so it’ll be the perfect time to wear them!
That’s my day in a pecan shell!
I am SO proud of myself for steering my car in the salad direction, and avoiding the donut binge. I admit… it was seriously tempting. I had a bad day yesterday. The morning started off with an email from a lady that ended with:
“PS By the way, hope one of your New Year’s resolutions was to lose weight, ‘cause you extremely need it dearly. Low carb eh? Pffft……. you’ve got a looooong road ahead of you!
Yes, for real. 😐
Something like that would normally send me over the edge, faceplanting straight into a quart of ice cream. My self control amazes me sometimes. 😛
Here are recent photos of me, by the way:
