Had a traumatic evening yesterday and dealt with it by falling off the wagon. My puppy was coming in the outside apt. door with my daughter and her leg got caught in the door which doesn't work correctly. We took her to the animal hospital and it turned out that she has a hairline fracture in her leg. I felt terrible for the puppy and for my daughter who was distraut about the incident. They wrapped the puppy's leg and said it should heal in one or two weeks and she may get the bandage off in a week or up to four weeks later. The staff wrote on the puppy's wrappings - get well soon we love you Zeta. I have pain meds for her for a couple of days. She is still pretty active even with the wrapped leg and eager to get in trouble. She looks pitiful. I felt really bad that she got hurt and I ate over it and over being bored with my food. They were not good reasons to eat over and I'm sorry I gave in to the temptation.
I ate a Baby Ruth, A pack of Ding Dongs and some chips and salsa from Chilis. I looked at the Ding Dong package this morning and it had 47 carbs in it. I only ate half today so I won't go over my carbs too bad today but yesterday was a disaster. If I get cravings from this I will probably go back on Induction. The only reason I am hesitant about going back on Induction is that one of the reasons I cheated was boredom and Induction is more boring than OWL. As soon as Zeta settles down for a nap again I am going to work on food planning and making up some menu ideas so I have some variety in my food choices. I should have done that a long time ago but I have been lazy about it. Mostly I am bored with eating a salad every day and a MIM every other day so I need some vegetable ideas and some breakfast ideas. I thought I would have my husband teach me how to make an omelet. And pancakes - the legal kind would be good or my recipe for a mock danish. Part of my problem is that I am a fussy eater and I have to broaden my food choices. I feel bad I cheated but at least I didn't eat the other half of the bag of chips and I stopped this morning. I could have gone on and on. I just have to move forward and try not to make the same mistake. Zeta is in her puppy corral so I am going to go work on recipes.
