That's not what I ordered

That moment you realized you grabbed the wrong Tupperware from the fridge this morning...

Today I was supposed to have leftover taco soup for lunch. But instead of grabbing yummy taco soup, I grabbed icky garlic chickpeas. Why did I have something icky in my fridge? Because I was trying something new to see if I liked them. Well, I didn't. So they just sat there. Why didn't I throw them out if I didn't like them? I don't know, laziness I guess.

So now I have to sit here at work, hungry, waiting for Hubby to drop off some yumminess to me. (He's such a sweetheart.) Guess I'm having raisins for lunch and taco soup for afternoon snack.

Edit: I guess I have the mailman to thank for making sure I have lunch today. One of the things on Hubby's to do list today was to send out a bunch of packages. Hubby had just left the house when the mailman turned onto our street. He made a quick U-turn and went back to the house so he could just give them to the mailman. Well sometime during that whole shindig, Hubby realized he didn't grab my food from the fridge! So thank you Mr. Mailman for ensuring that I eat something today.

Hakuna matata!

Series of misfortunate events

As much as I was dying to go running yesterday, I was just as disappointed after I completed my run. It was one of those runs that just wasn't going right in any way.

Issue #1 was the combination of my alarm going off at the end of my warm up, my phone being buried under two layers, and having thick snow gloves on. By the time I turned off my alarm, I had missed my audio cue to begin running on my C25K app.

Issue #2 was bringing my dog. Don't get me wrong, I love my dog and I would love for him to go running with me, if he would only not try to run at full speed in the middle of the road.

Trying to rein him in so he wouldn't get hit by a car was so distracting that I was breathing wrong and my form was terrible. As a result, I was completely out of breath and couldn't run for more than 20 seconds at a time.

Issue #3 was my stupid headphones. I only put them in one ear and tuck the other earbud into my bra strap. Well somehow it got untucked so my arm kept getting tangled. Eventually all that tangling caused it to fall out of my ear entirely which again caused me to miss another running cue.

My underwear was also scratching my hip. 

So with all of that, I came home more annoyed and stressed than when I left.  Total disappointment after an entire afternoon of anticipation. Bah!

I heard this saying for the first time last week and it has really stuck with me. It's one of those super simplistic motivational sayings, but it is SO TRUE. As a professional yo-yo dieter, I know square one like the wrapper of my favorite candy bar. And I hate being there every single time. Instead of passing GO and collecting $200, I'm failing in the self esteem department and well over 200 lbs. Square One, here's to the last time I hope we meet.
