On the flip side of Heathers What have you done today to make you feel proud? thread, I thought it might be interesting to have a place to report what have you done today that you are NOT proud of, and conversly what you have learned from your action, and/or what you plan to do to keep from doing it again.
Since I did something today that I was not proud of, its only fair that I go first.
Today I got side tracked on the way to work having to buy some parts for my guitar (I work swing shift). So I was running late and miles away from work, so I decided to eat at the first restaurant I came to.
So there I was driving through a fast food joint and I was telling myself "just get a sandwich and DO NOT get fries, when what do my eyes see? They have jalapeno poppers.... so my convoluted logic says "hey I'll try those they can't be as bad as french fries". So in the throes a momentary lapse of judgement I get the poppers (and the dipping sauce). I am thinking I'll be good and use just the slightest hint of sauce on the poppers and I'll be OK. So I finally get to work (on time..whew!!!) . I go online to look up the calorie count for my meal and discover that the four small jalapeno poppers have a whopping 480 calories!!!! (definitely not a good choice!!) and that is not including the sauce which, even sparingly used, had to be another 50 to 100 calories.
What I learned... when in a rush DO NOT let your guard down, be smart and stick with what you know.
