Day 54 - Unplanned Cheating

So today did not go well.  It started out going exactly as planned, but inexplicably on my way home from running I gave into an impulse and went to Wendy's and bought way too much food.  I have no excuse, and there were plenty of outs on the way there, I just didn't take them.  The only positive to be taken from my cheat is that I avoided buying soda to go with the large quantity of junk food I bought.  As always I kind of hated myself afterwards as well.

So what does this mean for the diet?  Nothing long term, or so I hope.  Maybe I'll push back my semi-planned cheat day after I clear 100K.  Maybe tomorrow I'll try and eat a smaller than normal load of food to make up for it.  What's clear though is that my old impulses haven't changed completely.  I should be better than this, but I am just not and every so often something sneaks through.  So what this probably did do is waste a couple days of weight loss.  I've been stagnating a bit over the last week anyway, this is just going to make it worse.  The only real lesson to be taken from it is that every so often I need to make sure I think about what I'm shooting for.

Food today:  peanut butter and english muffin (300 calories), PB&J (500 calories), some peanut butter on toast as a snack (200 calories), burgers and fries from Wendy's for dinner (2000 calories).  Exercise was about 3 miles of running and 2 miles of walking (600 calories).
