Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

Wrong Way – Do Not Enter

August 19, 2019

Let’s file this one in the “what was I thinking” department. Oh, well, yeah, I kind of did know what I was thinking, but when I actually thought about what I did I was like, “wtf were you thinking!”. Let me explain.

So, I went to the store this morning – ALONE! It’s been a rare thing since summer started and kids like to go out when mom goes out and I decided to really take advantage of that time. I had fun rummaging around the aisles as well as being able to take time to really look and decide. I was feeling pretty good by the time I got to checkout.

At the checkout I wanted some candy, but I thought no, let’s go to Starbucks and get a frapp instead. It’ll be better for you and you want it more. Yeah – brain is not in gear. I get to Starbucks and not only order a frapp but also a slice of lemon pound cake! So, instead of the 180 calorie Reese’s peanut butter cup I was going to get, I ingested a 500 calorie frappucino AND a 470 calorie slice of lemon pound cake. Uh, yeah – did I save anything there? Nope. UGH!

I think it may be time to start writing down what I really eat in a day and the decisions I make about what I eat because clearly I am deluding myself currently. :-P

I read the "it'll be better for you" line and stopped reading to do the research on that. Came back and realized that the rest of the post covered what I was looking up :P
As far as food tracking goes, I've been using MyFitnessPal for nearly ten years to reasonable effect. A lot of people like Lose It!, too, and it's probably got a nicer phone interface. It really is interesting to see how fast some of that stuff racks up as you begin really tracking it.

Yeah - you should finish reading articles before assuming things. :-)
Haven't decided if I'll do online tracking or just pen and paper but I need to do it. Period. Obviously I'm into some bad habits and not even thinking of the consequences.
I'll keep you posted. :-)
