I fell off the wagon, but I got back on! I swear!

Happy Easter one and all!!! Got home a couple of hours ago from an overnight trip to Pacific Grove (CA). My Aunt Wanda, sister, my nieces and Hunter (my son) and I went to stay at my Aunt's friend's vacation home and enjoy the beach for Easter. We had a blast just hanging out at the house and strolling down Cannery Row. We enjoyed lunch at Bubba Gump's too. I love the fun atmosphere there. However, Bubba Gump's is where I slightly fell off the wagon. We ordered two of the sampler appetizer platters to share between us 3 adults and 2 kids meals for the 3 kids to share (chicken strips, pizza and fries), since the kids can't eat a whole meal by themselves and we couldn't decide what sounded good. The sampler had hush puppies, peel and eat cold shrimp, artichoke/cheese/onion hot dip with tortilla trips, some crispy buffalo style chicken pieces and fried shrimp. I ate a little bit of everything and washed it down with 2, not just 1, iced teas with equal (I am paying for my use of equal with hellacious heartburn! I can't tolerate fake sugars AT ALL!). Doesn't sound that I was too bad, until I add that the tea was caffeinated and I had been off caffeine for 6 days. I also had a carmel apple with peanuts tonight that I bought at Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory (I ALWAYS get one when I'm on Cannery Row, its sort of a tradition!) and I had 2 bean burritos with extra cheese for dinner on the ride home. OH and half a donut for breakfast. I WAS HORRIBLE TODAY! HORRIBLE! But I am sitting here sipping sugar free, decaf suisse mocha International Foods "coffee" (it's alright tasting) and I resisted my urge for a Java Chip Frappucino from Starbucks today and man, it sounded awesome. I had planned to have a last supper at El Rosal (mexican restaurant) this week with Jody (my husband)...but I am now not going to do that since I was so awful today! At least I resisted it the last 6 days. I am pretty proud of myself. Tomorrow morning, I will be putting the protein powder in the Magic Bullet again and getting back on track. I am ready to be a good healthy eater again. I feel so damn guilty!
