I feel refreshed and somewhat guilty about today. It was 100% a total cheat day. I needed it. I needed to get rid of the headache. I needed to not worry about making sure I was eating the right things. I needed to now worry about anything. I needed a day off. I needed a ME day. And I’m not sorry about it. In fact, before I go to bed, I plan on having some vanilla ice cream with Hershey’s syrup on top!!! Tomorrow, I will have my morning coffee and a sensible Keto friendly breakfast then I will fast.
Today was fun!!! Everything started out like normal… headache with a coffee chaser! No breakfast because I knew I was going to have lunch out with my granddaughter Victoria and my hubby. I just did know where we would be eating at. It would be Victoria’s choice.
We picked her up around noon but before we left on our adventure, we spent a little time with my daughter and grandson. Don’t want to leave anyone out!!! When we left their house, we didn’t know if we would go to the AT&T store before or after lunch but we knew that Victoria wanted Mexican food. Good choice!!!! We ended up going to the AT&T store first, mostly to avoid the lunch crowd at El Fenix.
It is always fun going to the AT&T store. We went to take care of Victoria’s new cell phone. Once that was taken care of, we also switched from Uverse to Direct TV at a huge savings for us and we upgraded (???) our cell phone service to unlimited everything. AND we are updating our internet as well. But no new phones.
Next on our agenda of two things to do was lunch. It was an easy drive across the street to El Fenix. As someone who is use to having tortillas, rice, beans, and chips every day, it was nice to indulge even if it was only for one day. I ordered the cheese enchilada and tamale that came with rice and beans. We also had queso for the table. But to be good, I had unsweetened ice tea! But I guess that didn’t really do any good since I bought pralines as we were leaving the restaurant. When I cheat on a diet, I really cheat!
While we were eating, I decided to make a trip to a nearby mall. We needed to walk off our food and it would be good exercise. Plus I wanted to look for some clothes for our cruise. Well… we walked, I shopped. We walked, I shopped. I’m sure you get the picture, right? I only went to 5 stores but only bought at 4. But I only bought stuff that was on sale with the exception of one thing for Victoria, a cover for her new cell phone.
First stop was Old Navy. I was looking for shorts. I really didn’t think that would be difficult. I found 2 pairs. Only. Two. Pairs. And they were nothing I couldn’t live without. But I did buy 3 shirts. I cannot wait to wear them on the cruise!!! Also, Jim found a pair of matching socks he thought would be cute for our grandson and son-in-law.
Next two stops were purchases for Jim. At Sears he found a pair of Wranglers that were regularly $40 something and he paid a little over $18. That was a good buy and he was so happy with himself! At Dillards, he scored a pair of shorts and a pair of slacks that were at a very good price!!! He was very impressed of the selection they had in his size!
Our last stop at the mall was at Shoe Dept. Encore. I left there with a pair of Sperry’s that I have been wanting for a long time. I was thrilled that they had them in my size and for $24.99!!! Definitely another good buy for me!!!
As we started to walk to the car, it decided to rain. Since my mother’s apartment is on the way to my daughters house, we decided to let the rain pass at her place. I figured it would be a good time to do some online shopping for her as she as some clothes she really needs to get. Unfortunately, her electricity kept flickering on and off which would turn off her computer. We will have to complete her shopping later.
The weather finally let up and we left to go to my daughters for a while before we headed home. Now that we are home, we are very tired. But I’m not too tired to skip the ice cream!!!
How was your day? Did you do anything exciting or special?
