Failure to plan is planning to fail!!!!!

Ohhh - I KNEW I was setting myself up by not packing my lunch today and deciding to go buy something....

I INTENDED to get grilled fish at Red Lobster - but..... my car had a steering defect that made it pull into the drive thru at McDonalds - I got the McNuggets and fries, came back to my office, munched down and........

DANG NEAR PASSED OUT IN A CARB COMA!!!!!!!!

Calorie count wise I am good for the day still - but oh MAN do I feel like crap right about now - i am JUST 'waking' up - and about to go cause a problem in the bathroom......LOL

PLAN your day, people - temptation is a BAD thing!!!! 

Now I am bad about packing a healthy lunch but today when I got my morning coffee and Starbuck's I got their fruit and cheese platter: 380 cal, 21g of fat, 37 carbs, 15 g of protein.  I know the fat and carbs are high, but the protein count and calories were good for me.

Well....I have to confess too... I planned poorly today as well because I had planned on having Vegetable soup from the cafeteria or chili from Wendys.  Over my lunch break, I pick my youngest daughter up from school to get her to her next destination.  I usually pack for her...and this keeps me out of trouble.  Well today....I did not pack for her but assumed that Wendys would just work for both of us.  Well she saw McDs first and she wanted to go there.  Granted I am the mom and I am the one driving...but for some strange reason....my steering acted a fool too.  I did order the chicken caesar salad for myself.  I got her the cheeseburger kids meal....but I gave it to her only after I swapped a few fries.  Honestly....I really am trying to keep us away from the fast food joints most of the time.  With the exception of Wendys...I try to stay clear.  Today would have gone better if I had planned her lunch. I don't want to pass on the eating issues to my kids.  Realize that I can keep them on track if I just do what I need to do for myself....they benefit too.

i had a veggie burger from burger king!!

i love these sandwhiches!!!

i haven't checked the nutrition info. i just assumed it was good 4 me since it's made with a veggie patty.

oh, well,

i need 2 check that!

but on 2days sandwhich, i only ate 1 bun and through the other away. so, that's a good choice 4 me.

lol!!

burger King veggie burger:
cal - 420
fat - 16g
carbs - 46g
protein 23g

Burger King makes veggie burgers?  I didn't know that.
Aren't those numbers kinda high?  Looks like they should be for a whopper.

Yeah they got veggie burgers!  I am JUST finding out like you on this thread!!!

420 IS a lil high - but I got 700 cal left to burn for today - GUESS who's having a veggie burger for dinner????

Never had a veggie burger....can't even imagine what they may taste like.

It just don't sound right....veggie and burger put together....

Oh Kim...they are not bad at all....Morningstar have quite a few varieties....but you do have to acquire a taste for them.  Once you add all the condiments and vegetables.....taste pretty good to me.  I like the Black Bean Burgers. 

Thats a lot of carbs....I usually throw the buns away and eat the rest.  I mean that what makes up the taste any way....but I would get the real burger....the Whopper.
