Sunday

It's golf day! I was up early 6:15. Decided to have oatmeal for breakfast. I like the quaker oats original version. I had the healthy heart portion. Everybody else is still in bed. I like to add a very small spoonful of parkay and a small squirt of Auntie Jemima syrup. I had a couple of cups of coffee, too.

Here's where I think I need to change some habits. We know that once I get hungry and skip a meal or snack, I tend to get very undisciplined. Today, we teed of at 9 am and didn't finish until 2:30 ish. I am trying to be good, so, I didn't eat any junk between #9 and #10 holes today. I went in to get some peanuts, but they were out. I could have grabbed a hot dog, or some crackers or cookies, but I thought I would be ok.

Now, I finish up and did not go back inside the clubhouse. I have too many bad influences there who would have me downing a couple of beers and I wanted to save those for the Super Bowl.

To cut to the chase, I get home, fix a turkey sandwich. That's a good thing.

However, by 4:30 I am starved. I grabbed a few pieces of chocolate candy (okay, it was actually 4) that are left from Christmas. Then, I took the dog for a 30 minute walk.

That would have been ok. We're planning on chile for dinner. I get that started. Then, we open the chips and salsa and some other dip. I ate way too much! We still haven't had the chili.

To sum it up, I had a bowl and a half of chil and THREE beers! (hey, it's the super bowl). Then, I had a few more chips during the game.

I screwed up today, but, I am not going to beat myself up. It is what it is. Let's just get back on THE PLAN tomorrow and start working on making progress by Wednesday's weigh in.

Lessons learned: I need to start taking something with me to eat during the round. I should have packed a protein bar and a sandwich. We will try to do better next time.
