I was so hungry after church this morning I would have gone out to eat with anyone and blown my diet. No one was interested in going out.
All I could think of was getting something good to eat. Then I'd think of the calories. So on the way home I began thinking: If you went to Mama's buffet what would you have picked out to eat? I knew I would be picking the vegetables and the least fattening stuff. So I thought, "Why not just make yourself a good vegetable dinner with beans instead of some kind of high calorie meat?" What would you like?
I decided to go for a baked potato, baking it first in the microwave, cutting it into wedges, spraying with 0 calorie Parkay Spread Spray, sprinkled with garlic salt and broiled in the oven.
I made my slaw with cabbage, green pepper, celery, onion, carrot, and jalapeno pepper. I put one Tbsp of Hellman's light mayo and used sugar substitute and vinegar to finish my dressing.
So I had plenty to eat and did NOT blow my diet.
Later: I found out when I got back to church that Wednesday is fast day. I have been substituting Monday because I have such a hard day on Wednesday. I stop eating after lunch and fast 24 hours. (I ate last around five so that means my 24 hours this time will last until after work on Monday.) That nipped in the bud all my plans for how I was going to "spend" the rest of my daily calorie allotment. However, on the bright side, I figured that after work tomorrow I can go to Popeye's and get me some fried chicken. (I went to their Website and counted up all the calories for a normal meal I would bring home from their buffet and that one meal is over 1600 itself.)
