First stumbling block

I have been on my 40 pound challenge for all of three days (Thursday was day three). And it took exactly three days to have a bad day. And I mean BAD. I was good at breakfast and lunch. On my way home from work, I realized I was getting hungry. I've been having a small snack (carrots & humus, Cliff Bar, etc.) between 3:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. all week and by 5:30 p.m., I was hungry!

When I got home, hubby's car was gone. Hmmmm...Checked phone, text saying he went to the gym. Ugh. Came in the house and ate. And ate. And ate. Here's what I had:

Mini Reeces Peanut Butter Cups

Nuts

Toffee

Then hubby came home and we ate dinner. Yup. I ate dinner after all that. We had lite hot dogs on lite rolls, with pretzels. I should have made a healthy dinner. I had one in mind. We grabbed frozen fish at the grocery store with a tomato sauce that I thought I could do up, with spaghetti squash and veggies. But, after eating all the above, eh. Oh, did I mention the two cups of Corn Pops? Yea...

So, in the past I would let this go on for a week or maybe two. Or in the case of last year, about 8 months. But, I am working on a new me. I do not want this pattern to continue, so I vow to make tomorrow better. I will eat healthy. It's Friday and I work all day, so I generally don't hit the gym so nothing new there, but I can eat better tomorrow than I did today (it would actually be really hard not to). I can start again. I can make today a one-off rather than a month-off. 

I'm not perfect. I stumble way more than I walk straight. And for the first time I want to fully acknowledge this. Here's to a healthy Friday!

Do you have a day where you just eat crap? How long does it take you to get back on track?
