MacDonalds for dinner

So, we ended up with MacDonalds for dinner. I was REALLY tempted to get a Big Mac -- I don't have them very often, but I still opted for the Big N Tasty. It's a good burger and, hopefully, not as bad as the Big Mac since there isn't as much crap on it.

I know this isn't exactly diet food :-) but I'm not thinking of what I'm doing as a diet. I am just trying to make better choices, and hopefully, I will settle into a food routine that I can do forever. We loose weight on a diet, but we end up gaining all or a lot of it back because that's not how we want to eat on a daily basis. Then we get discouraged and gain even more. At least, that's what I've been doing for the last ... I don't know how many years.

The other good choice I made today was not buy my favorite bagel at Paneras. It's the whole grain bagel, which is good because it's whole grain, but then there's the cream cheese part. Plus the bagel is pretty big. I usually buy one so I can have it for my breakfast on Sunday, but I didn't do it today even though I was running errands right near Panera. I know, it's a small thing, but again, I'm trying to make better choices.

I had lost 50 lbs about 25 years ago and kept it mostly off for a very long time. But the whole "why care because age is causing me to fall apart anyway" attitude, has really been doing damage. Probably more damage the the aging process. In other words, I've been making a bad situation, worse. Not that aging is a bad situation ... hmmm ... maybe it is. Anyway, I've been making really bad choices the last few years and it shows.

Right now we're watching football and I'm feeling hungry. Probably because I'm thinking about food so much right now.

I received my Dance Revolution game for the Wii today. I was hoping I'd get to try it out (start learning how to do it), but I got paged by work and ended up troubleshooting a full disk on one of the servers. Poop. My knee is still a little sore anyway, so it's probably a good thing. Maybe tomorrow after I finish house chores.
