Dissapointed and Ashamed: Day 9

So I was doing really good for that week
Then my boyfriend's mom came to visit.
I told myself I would have 1 free day where I wouldn't worry about my diet.
That 1 day turned into 2, then 3, then 4.

I know I haven't posted in almost a week, but I'm changing that again.
It takes 4 weeks for something to become a natural habbit.
So Instead of New Year's Resolutions- Create monthly goals.

For the Month of April- I would like to lose at least 8 pounds.

I was still hungry at 10 so I baked some chicken breasts. I just had the breast, but I seasoned it with Herbamare, Lemon Peppeper and Basil. Really tasty.

I know I'm not exactly having the greatest start, but I'm trying.

I'm looking for something that could help curb my hunger at night.

I brought home dinner for myself, Arthur and Ty.

I brought home cheeseburgers for everyone. I had fries that I shared with Arthur and I got Ty onion rings. I shared my fries with Arthur. And I know what you are thinking. Let me assure you that the cheeseburgers at work are different than a fast food place or a restaurant. I've read the label that's on the beef. It's not stocked full of preservatives or trans fat. It's all natural. Plus I had lettuce, tomatoes and pickles on it.
