Big Mac Attack

I had weekness tonite. I went to a Wal-Mart Supercenter
to pick up a few items, and I was hungry. I would have
normally have picked up a dark chocolate square or a piece
of fruit...but for some reason I walked into the Mickey D's that
was in the front of the Wal-Mart. And got a Big Mac.

How long has it been since I had a Big Mac? Or any hambuger
at McDonald's? Ummm..about 10 months. It just sounded
good. What can I say?

Over the last 10 months on the diet, I may have had 5 Krystal
hamburgers that I had at one sitting, a couple Arbie's Roast Beef Sandwhiches,
a couple Fish-Filet sandwhiches also from McDonald's and one Whopper.

Many times the offending food was purchased when I was stuck
somewhere or in some circumstance where I didn't have much
of a choice what to get. And, skipping a meal in my opinion is
worse than getting a hamburger.

And I'm sure it will be another 10 months or longer until I have
another Big Mac Attack. LOL.

The good thing is that even with my unhealthy snack, I still kept
my daily calories where I want them to be each day.

I have now confessed. Please forgive me. LOL :)

Good day on the diet

Yesterday was a good day for the diet.

It was the day before payday so I stopped on the way home from
work and splurged on some fresh talipia (fish) from a store called
Fresh Market. They are the bomb when carrying YOAD friendly
items. I also picked up 2 nice bakers (potatoes) and came home and
started to prepare the meal.

We had some corn on the cob my brother gave us and that completed the meal!

I heated up our fryer which I filled with fresh non-hydrogenated coconut oil
(it's healthy for me) and I took some 100% whole wheat flour that we bought
from an old grist mill up in the Smokey Mountains a month or so back. Mixed
in with the flour some pepper, kosher salt, picante seasoning and garlic poweder.
Got each piece of fish wet, and then dusted them with the flour and fried each
piece for 4 minutes. MMmmmm.

We baked both the potatoes and the corn wrapped in foil in the oven for 75 minutes
and they, too, were ready to go. I topped the baked potato with A-1 sauce and
I used Smart Balance zero calorie butter spray for the corn.

What's fish without tatar sauce? My wife makes us some homemade using Smart Balance mayo, dill relish and lemon juice. Very healthy and very good!

And that was our dinner.
