File under: Calories, exercise

Well today went well good food - low cal - 2 walks =8250 steps BUT yesterday didn’t go well. It was a very stressful day.rnWe bought a car 3 months ago from a car lot VW Jetta and have onlyrndriven it a couple times - bad transmission - we returned it again tornthe lot (4th time) 3 hour drive each way and are now fighting rnwith them for a full refund. Trans went on the way home from buying it.rnSo to handle the stress we went to McDonalds!rnFor breakfast & late lunch did I chose a salad? NO I had a eggrnburger with hash browns and and orange juice - lunch filet o fishrn- small cheese burger & a med fries - oh and a diet coke to wash itrndown. Well after that day of stress I don’t care.rnIt was just a day and I am not going to calculate the calories or transrnfats. When I got home I had a glass of fiber -( psyllium ) to helprnclean me out. We went to a real VW dealership and found a very good VWrnJetta 2002 - we will get that one and I hope to have it thisrnweek. So I guess haveing a good food day and exercise today willrnhelp fix yesterdays boo booSorntomorrow is weigh in day! I was considering waiting till thurs but Irnwill decide tomorrow am. I will now catch up on you your journals as Irnmissed everyone yesterdayrnrn

Char it’s kind of funny that you had mcdonalds while going to take care of that car.? Do you see how I say that car.? Believe me I feel your pain.? I remember one othe time you had a stressful time with it and went to mcdonalds.? I’ll be glad to hear you are finished with that car.

I was thinking the same thing too Char….waiting until Thursday, I don’t think I’ll make it to Onederland tomorrow!! I’m so nervous ?I’m off to the gym now and tomorrow I’ll work out at the gym and stay OP, so hopefully the scale will be good to me, otherwise, I am doomed!? Ouchie!!? Good luck tomorrow whatever you decide!!

Those VW…. lovely cars, just so many problems and parts are so expensive .? I may be a little biased for German cars…we have an older Benz that I just love ?but we’re lucky ?because I have a friend who is a Mercedes Benz specialist, and he gets me the parts at cost, and fixes the car for us pretty much free of charge–isn’t he sweet?? But I know what you mean…hopefully you guys will get the car situation taken care of!

What is it about Mcdonald’s? That is my biggest weakness too. One day shouldn’t? do much damage. I went on afrench fry binge yesterday. You are doing good? and concious of when you do get off track. It seems like you were asking about recipes. The last week has just kind of been a blur I have been so busy. Anyway, the book DR. ATKINS NEW DIET REVOLUTION has menus and meal plans. When I first went on low carb I referred to the book almost every day. Hope this is helpful info for you. Keep up the good work. Sorry I haven’t been real good about comments lately. I have been reading your blog almost every day just working from 5 am to 7:30 pm so haven’t had much spare time.

WOW….what an awful day for you…..but you know what they say, when you go off your diet don’t beat yourself up about it…..and you didn’t?that’s great! Plus you jumped right back on today.

I have a 2003 VW Jetta and she is great to me. I had 3 minor problems with it in 4 years and they were all covered under warranty. Good luck, I hope this one is better than the last. I also hope that you get every penny of your money back, some people are just wrong.

I knew something was up when you didn’t log on for a whole day! I hope everything will be back to normal soon. Stress is always hard to handle. Staying OP is stressful enough!!?

First of all, thanks for the encouragement.?

Secondly, yeah, you had a bad day.? I’m sorry, but you can have a great day today!? I know you can!? What is your plan for the day?

Hi Char,

Glad to hear your back on track!? Boo to the car dealer that sold you a lemon.? I hope that you get reimbursed for your car, that is a terrible experience.?

Take care.
