Another tough situation conquered

In the past with the diet, I dreaded weekends. With us being so much on the go, its hard to not cave to it and grab fast food. Plus, on Sundays at my grandma's, you never know what she's going to make, BUT its reasonable to assume there will be butter involved. It's all good home cooking.

So, I've been good all week, was good yesterday on Saturday, and here comes today. But...I made a plan. I can't control what my grandma makes, but I most assuredly could control what I eat there. And while it was still semi-higher in cals, I did good on portions, and even turned down dessert.

We had a scheduled playdate after that, which could have been a toss up on eating. But it was at least at the other person's house, not at like a McD's or CFA. And I already had that baked ziti I'd made this past week, defrosting in the fridge. Planning ahead is a wonderful thing, isn't it? So our playdate was at 2, I grabbed a Sonic unsweet Iced Tea beforehand to tied me over (D had a small snack there). We left a bit after 5 and were home by 6 to eat dinner and get D in the bed. It worked out great! And while at times my thoughts did turn to grabbing fast food on the way home, knowing I already HAD food ready to go there, was a huge help.

So yay...weekend 1 of the New Year...conquered. Done deal.
