Grimm Fairy Tale!
I was on the right road to Great health and then let my big bad self pounce!
Well I was doing really great today with protein and veggies, then I went and got a fast food treat for my dogs for having to go to the big bad groomers. I actually went through a McDonald’s and didn’t get anything for me just a few chicken strips to put with their dinner. (No worries animal lovers that’s happened like 3 times in their lives period) So I felt pretty proud then we stopped by aunt’s job so she could see the cleanly brush fluff balls and she was shorthanded so I handed over their treats so she had something to eat because she wouldn’t have had time to go get lunch. Well I headed right down the road after that to get them their promised treats and found myself ordering egg rolls and 2 tacos. Total damage about 1400 calories! The sodium count is a nightmare let alone the carbs and fat! I’m owning up to my swift fall off the wagon so that I can climb back on this very minute! I’m ashamed and don’t feel good about it, but owning up to it is something I must to so that I can read this back in another week or two or whenever and remind myself that this kind of slip up can’t happen. One slip up and then you’re on two and then you’re no longer on the yellow brick road! Looks like I’ll be making up for misdeeds tomorrow. Still didn’t eat popcorn, couldn’t fit it in if I wanted to now. I’ve been drinking water like crazy since I ingested the ilk. How to take this shameful moment really, I hold my head up high, remember I’m human, and no more fast food treats for anyone! I matter more than fast food any day!

Great title! But really not so grim. You're making good progress so don't beat yourself up too badly if you slip up.
I'm sure working on getting stronger! I sure hope that it cools off enough to workout tonight, that way I won't feel so grim about the results of not posting and eating as carefully during the Heat wave in the last few day. I'm putting one foot in front of the other that's for sure!! Again, thanks, IJ

That was a great post. It's cool that you are being honest with yourself. One slip up won't hurt you as long as you're open about it. It souns like it has made you stronger!
