    I wanted these giant white chocolate macadamia nut cookies from a local bakery (one cookie is about the size of a dinner plate!)

    ... but instead I drove home, had a cup of tea, and waited until it was time to have my nice healthy dinner; shrimp with zuchinni, spinach, garlic, ginger, soy sauce and shiritake noodles!

    I wanted to eat healthy today but there was leftover cake in the work fridge and I ate that along with my healthy lunch, now I feel awful, weak and bloated. Sigh :'(
    Must do better tomorrow and so forth!

    What I wanted was to sleep in.

    What I did was went to the gym and burned 1000 cals.

    Then I came home and had some Halloween Candy :D.

    Wanted: bean and cheese burrito from local Mexican Restaurant

    Had: Amy's low-sodium Lentil and Vegetable Soup, Triscuits, Laughing Cow light cheese wedge

    Same general food groups--legumes, carbs and cheese--but lower in saturated fat and sodium and actually (almost) as good.

    What I wanted: A chicken, cheese and chorizo panini

    What I had instead: Chicken, red pepper, and rocket on wholemeal bread.

    In hindsight, I actually don't even think the first option would even have tasted any better, but it would have had twice the calories!

    LOL!

    What I wanted - to continue to sit on my butt all night. What I had - over 70 minutes of movement. Much better!
