Cinco De Mayo

195 Days | 248.1 lbs

Happy Cinco de Mayo. Today was a bit crazy. From a strange pain in my back that made me question if I was having a muscle spasm or a heart attack (thanks, Dr. Google), to a weird conversation with my mom (oy, moms are a different story, always), to trying to not obsess about food. 

Because that's what it is these days...a constant nagging, a niggling in the back of my mind. 

But it is Cinco de Mayo so of course I craved Mexican food. We ended up ordering Torchy's tacos. I mean, it's Cinco de Mayo, and Taco Tuesday...and as the memes say these days, it's also in the middle of a pandemic named after a Mexican beer. Hardy har. 

I ate my tacos and they were delicious, as well as some chips and dip. I put those calories in my calorie tracker and lived to tell the tale. 

I had planned to eat a salad tonight, but I find myself not hungry. It's after 10pm, so I'm proud of myself for not giving in to any temptations to eat for the sake of eating. 

Tonight I tried to dye my and my daughter's hair using kool-aid. And it was a fail, lol. The video tutorials I watched said to use kool-aid and conditioner....and apparently cheating by using 3-in-1 soap for kids doesn't work the same, lol. Looks like I'll be donning a face mask to the grocery store tomorrow to try and right this wrong. You can't just promise a little girl colorful hair and give up on the first try, right? 

Between the back pain and my kind of...down mood...I didn't do anything in the way of exercise today, but I know the main struggle and the most important one is to get the eating under control first. For today, I feel successful in that area. 

And...that's pretty much the story of the day. It's too late and I'm too tired to delve into any more history, and there's really no other crazy story of the day. 

Today's Methods: 

Taco Madness...which ended up around 900ish calories. 

3...maybe 4 glasses of wine? (the wine is another struggle all on its own, I'm sure we'll get to that post at some point)
