My Goodness.

As I look at these photos of what I ate today I think "This was a really unhealthy day filled with crappy food!"

I guess there were some goods for this day as well as some bads.

I started with a bowl of Cereal.

Then I walked (10 minutes) down to the community center to Vote.

Then the 10 minute walk back.

Then I went and met Addison at Banana's Diner

Potential mistake #1, but it was early in the day (justification)

I had the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich with Tater Tots.

The Tater Tots were not nearly as good as the Tots from yesterday, so I just ate about 10 of them.

Then around the middle of the day I had another Granola Bar.

Mark and I also did a 25 minute Bike Ride.

Then I picked up John and we went to St. Pete to see a friend's show.

Along the way we stopped at the Hard Rock Casino and John won quite a bit of money playing Slot Machines.

He said he would end up paying for dinner.

Potential mistake #2

So we were at Georgie's Alibi (where the show was held)

Burgers were half price on tuesdays, and I got what they call the Sticky Burger

"Ground-in-House" Angus Patty with Peanut Butter, Cheddar and Bacon

with a side of Tater Tots

What's with me and all of these Tater Tots? 

I don't really even like them!

(However by now I am really sick of them so I bet it will be a long time before I eat them again)

The Burger was delicious though!!!

Then when the server asked if we would like Dessert and told us they had good pie

John said "Bring him a piece if pie, I'm paying and he's not drinking so he needs pie!"

Mistake #3

My God it was delicious!

But then came the GUILT!

It's like Buyer's Remorse, but with FOOD.

I experience it a lot!

I must work on my self control.

I must quit blaming the FOOD and start blaming MYSELF.

I could have said NO.

Tomorrow I am only eating food that I prepare myself - No Eating Out!

Morning Blood Sugar results....

164

This reading was taken the following morning at 9am

It was 9pm when I ate my last bite.

I'm sure that the bulk of this High Number was due to What I was eating.

I also wonder if the fact that I fasted for 12 hours could have anything to do with it?

I usually take my reading after 8 or 9 hours.

Regardless, I will be better today.
