The March Madness Challenge

This week was challenging because of March Madness Wings Day at work.  I was in charge of making it happen, which meant that I had to order the wings we'd be eating. Of course, I had to ensure they tasted good, so I tried some the day before, and then I had to eat some at the luncheon, too. And when there were leftover wings, I had to take some home because I knew how much they cost and didn't want to waste any (sound familiar?).

Well, with so many excuses for eating wings, of course I got to eat quite a few this week. I don't think it hurt my diet too much in terms of calories, but in terms of reviving old cravings, the fatty wings created some problems.  I found myself wanting to eat more fat, but worse perhaps, I started to think I could eat it with impunity.  Once I realized I was slipping back into that old mentality, I pulled back.  But the experience let me know, once again, that I'm never going to be out of the woods.  Oh well, I guess I'll just have to live with that and stay vigilant.

Otherwise, I had a fairly successful week, though I'm still having trouble recording my eating.  I need to contemplate how to make that process more helpful so I'll keep up with it.  I'll try to do better this week and report my progress next weekend.

Until then . . .
