Well on my way!

Hello Biggest Losers!,

I am glad to have people to share my weight loss experience with. I have loss 5 lbs since starting this challenge and I am excited about what the future holds. I am hoping this venue will provide us an opportunity to share, encourage, and uplift one another! I am going to start first.

I had one of those poor meal planning days yesterday. I had to work late (which happens often in my field) and I did not have any healthy snacks with me. Of course there are no salad places located in the city and I had to feed the young people who were with me. so, what did we do...? well, we went to McDonald's. However, my plan was to get a salad (even though I don't really care for their salads).

Do you know they told me THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY SALADS!!! I thought, "are you serious!". So what did i do? Of course I ordered some fries and a double cheese burger, LOL...I was hungry! I was very upset with myself, b/c I wished I had waited until I had gotten home.

I did find comfort in the fact that I have been very good with my diet, therefore, one burger is not going to throw me off the scale. I did find that I had gained a pound when I got home. I am going to learn from this mistake and keep extra healthy snacks in the car to prevent a run in with the enemy (fast food) next time.
