Being Home... and McD's Parfaits

I had a day this week when I had to be out almost all of the day.  For someone who is just starting to try to lose weight and be healthy... that's a FREAKY day!  What do you eat? Because I didn't know what to eat or where to eat it, I just didn't want to eat! There ARE a lot of places you can go to get food, and there are even things you can run into the grocery store to get etc... But, it's the thought process involved that is a DRAG.  I'd rather stay home all day and eat my "safe foods" there, then have to go eat on the run. A week ago, I wouldn't have had my banana or bag of carrots in my car with me! lol

When I'm out... and I feel the urge to drive through McD's... I do it. lol Sounds funny, and the honest truth is that I don't always do it. But, I have found that I REALLY enjoy the McD's yogurt parfaits. They are only 150 calories (but high in sugar, which is why I don't always)... and I still get that... hmmm, not quite "rush" but feelings of having driven through somewhere and got something. Back in 2008, when I lost almost 100 pounds, I used to get McD's ice cream cones when I need a little something... also 150 calories, also on the higher side with sugar.... but, it's nice to have those "low cal" go-to items when you're feeling an urge and don't want to just tell yourself "NO" and go home.
