I slipped but I did not fall

Made a bad dinner decision last night. I ate good all day long, tracking my points and calories and leaving enough for chicken soft tacos for dinner and yogurt for dessert. Then hubby came home and asked "whats for dinner?". As much as I would like to blame him, I cannot. Because it was me who said "Pizza?". Usually he wouldn't agree for several reasons: 1-don't need to spend money with a house full of food, 2- don't feel like going back to town, 3-doesn't really sound good. But last night he was on board and although I debated with myself and changed my mind a few times, I still picked up the phone and ordered it!

So, I had already had 13 points and 692 calories for the day before dinner arrived. I ate 1 hot wing, 2 pieces of pizza and a BIG salad hubby had made me at the salad bar. Now, before you get all excited and say well she ate a big salad, she didn't do that bad...lemme finish..lol. Hubby had made me a salad he was really proud of, full of cheese. He made sure to tell me he had even layered some cheese on the bottom and cheese on the top. LOL. Bless his heart, he doesn't know any better. He's so used to me having ate that way for 20 years that he thinks its the status quo. I then of course added Ranch dressing (lite mind you) and croutons therefore taking my "salad" and turning it into a fat fest. I felt appropriately guilty after eating that dinner, as I should have.

BUT, the side of me that rationalizes these types of choices says that I once heard that its what you do 90% of the time, not 10% of the time. The NEW me, the one who eats healthy, makes good choices 90% of the time and bad 10% or less, so I'm not going to beat myself up over that ONE meal yesterday. As my post title says, I slipped but I did not fall. I'm back on track today and hoping that my cheat on Thursday doesn't lead into a cheat on Friday and all weekend like it usually would. I started out this morning by putting the leftover pizza down the disposal. I know that's wasteful and I'm sorry for that, but if I hadn't done it, I'd be shoving a piece in my mouth about 4:00 today.

Like I said before, I'm taking it one decision at a time. Last night's dinner was a bad decision. So, here's to hoping that I have a good weekend of good decisions. Hubby and I were supposed to go to the fair, but I have decided that I don't think I want to go. 1- It is too much temptation and I know I will fall off plan and 2- I would rather take the money and buy myself some new clothes since mine are too big for me now!

Here's hoping you all have a great weekend of good decisions too!
