Lose It!

So, I shared with Cyber-Land yesterday how I am trying to eat healthy for my body and read healthy for my mind/soul.  Well, today, I had to go into work at 1:00pm.  We were CRA-ZY busy and by the time 5:00pm hit, I was dragging it.  Whew!  Apparently the snow does NOT keep everyone home.  (Are they NUTS?!)  Anyhoo, I was also STARVING!!  After eating when ever I wanted over the weekend, my tummy was a-rumbling.  I sooooo wanted to hit Zaxby’s on the way home.

What?  You don’t know what Zaxby’s is?  My poor, fast food uneducated friend: Zaxbys is the BOMB-DIGGITY!  They have chicken: chicken wings, chicken strips, chicken salads, chicken sandwiches… They have the most amazing crinkle cut french fries EVER and they put this season-all-type seasoning on the fries.  Oh my GOODNESS!!!!  I am addicted to the chicken strip meal which comes with chicken strips, french fries and Texas toast.  YUMMY!  I usually get ranch dipping sauce and I swear, the combination is pure heaven.  I have a working theory that they put crack/cocaine in the breading or the fry seasoning or both.  I am sure that Zaxby’s can take at least half the credit for my weight gain over the last year.

Anyhoo, I LOVE IT!!!

So anyway, after work, I SOOOO wanted to go drive thru and get me some of the Zaxby’s goodness, especially since I have not had it in 3.5 weeks!!  (gasp!)  But I resisted.  I did!  I went home and made a homemade chicken quesadilla with grilled chicken instead.  Not quite the same, but very large for the calories it contained (477 for a WHOLE quesadilla!)  And it filled me up.  According to my wicked cool iPhone app: Lose It! I still can eat 383 more calories today, but I am gonna decline.  I was thinking of having a lite peach yogurt, but it is already 9pm and I don’t like to eat this late.

So there you have it!  Today’s success story!!  I am proud of me!  I may get this healthy eating thing down at long last…. especially since I have detoxed the Zaxby’s…..

Happy Wandering!
