Back in the Saddle...

So I had a bit of a tumble off the wagon this weekend.
We had company from out of town, and ended up eating out 3 times, and we rarely eat out at all these days. I could have made better choices.
First time, I had a "goetta and cheese omelette"...and goetta has barley in it. And I ate the toast, which I should have skipped.
Next day I didn't take my chicken philly hoagie off the bread. And I ate the chips that came with it.
NEXT day I didn't take my "Tommy" (roast beef samwich from Izzy's) off the bread, and I ate the potato cake (like I could have POSSIBLY resisted).
Oh, and can't forget the Chinese food we treated ourselves with Sunday night (having discovered that car dealerships aren't open on Sundays in Cincinnati...so the car buying was a total fail, but we DID make it up to the Hustler Store in Butler County, which was TOTAL win). Chinese food = lo mein in my world. No exceptions. Plus crab rangoon. Yes, it's a rule. Yes, Chinese food is my major weakness, and the *primary* temptation/thing I miss when I'm low-carbing. Since I'd already fallen, figured I should indulge while the opportunity was there. And OH MY it was yummy. :)
Of course, we hadn't made any salad since we didn't cook at home, so I had nothing to bring in to work. Enter vending machine hell. *headdesk*
Two days running. *headdesk again*
Then this morning, I was lonely ('Yote wasn't feeling well and went to bed early) and depressed. Bowl of ice cream with Nutella heated up and drizzled on top. Yeah, THAT was productive.

Got up tonight, and braved the scale. Only 1 lb up from the 233 I'd been at the last time I weighed myself. Not NEARLY the disaster I expected. I can handle that.

So, I'm back on the wagon (no salad to bring tonight still, but I brought my slimfast, and I intend to stay AWAY from the vending machines of DOOM).
Stubbed my toe, but I can pick myself up from this. I CAN do this.
