Shopping Trip

Last night, I went to the mall to get a new pair of tennis shoes.  The last time I bought tennis shoes was 1999.  I am a sandal girl all of the way.  I bought a pair of running/walking shoes.  (Hey, if you have the equipment, you are more likely to go, right??)  It was close to 8 pm when I left the mall.  I hadn't had dinner yet since I came straight from work. 

The only thing standing between me and my car was.....the food court.  Uh Oh!  Could I resist?  I was really hungry.  I took a few tentative steps into the food court and the Sbarro guy stops me.  I felt like he was the wicked old hag in Snow White tempting me with the poison apple.  "Buy one slice, get one free." he said.  Oh boy, was I tempted.  I would have been the hero wife bringing home two slices of pizza to her dear husband.  Or, I would have stuffed both slices into my mouth in the driveway at my house to hide that I bought anything.  Which way do I go?  I decided I would rather not have blogged about either incident, (though I did stop and smell the pizza, yummy!)  and politely said, "No, thank you."  and ran out of the food court to my car before I could double back.

On my way home, I was trying to decide what to do for dinner.  I could pretend to be healthy at any of the unhealthy fast-food restaurants on the way home.  It was the first day of the road to healthy, so I resisted.  I had a bag of lettuce in my fridge, I decided I would have a salad.  When I got home, my dear husband was pulling out a nice thin crust, healthy pizza out of the oven.  What a great guy.

This morning, I had quinoa for breakfast with a weight loss shake from Costco.

Work brought in Papa Johns pizza for lunch (What is with all the pizza??)  So I had the smallest piece I would find to go with my carrots and sweet peppers and a peach.  I am feeling healthy today!!
