It is shaping up to be a bad week.  I did end up eating the pizza today (I planned it, though, so it didn’t come as a surprise).  I ate two pieces, just like I planned….and then, he spread them all out on the table encouraging everyone to eat more, and of course, I ate a third.  However, it was teeny, about half a normal slice, so I’m counting it as 2.5 pieces.  What’s bad about it is that it did NOT satisfy the craving, and if anything, I now want it more than ever.  Luckily, I would have to call papa john’s and order it and then go pick it up and pay for it, so it’s unlikely that I’ll cave to temptation since there are so many steps in the process.  If it ever comes in front of me, though, watch out.  I know I would totally fall off the wagon.  Tonight to “make up” for it and because I wasn’t as hungry as normal, I just ate a piece of cheese toast, and this fabulous espresso that I just made (longer story there), and an HNS.  So, I did save a few calories, but not enough to make up for what I did for lunch.  One of my pieces of pizza was mushroom, though, so I saved a few there, which I then made up in garlic sauce and by eating my crusts which I try not to do anymore. :(  Oh well– can’t be perfect all the time, I guess.

As if that weren’t enough for the week, a couple from church wants to take me out to a CHINESE restaurant on Sunday after church– eek.  What do I order at a chinese restaurant that will remotely be on my diet??  I’m not a big fan of Chinese, but last time I was at this particular restaurant (at least it’s not a buffet, so you can order what you want), I had Chicken Lo Mein and an egg roll.  It was wonderful, really, even though I don’t like Chinese all that well.  However, both of those things together are like a train wreck.  The only thing I can think of is to do some major working out, which I don’t normally do.  I have a big break during the day tomorrow (long enough for an hour workout or so and then a shower), and then I can do the same thing Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.  I also got in all my water today, plus I’ll drink more before bed, so I’m hoping to offset the sodium.  At least both of these “events” aren’t coming in one weigh in period.  They’ll be split up, so that’s something.
