I worked late and had a meeting after that so my husband had to get the kids from aftercare. I made it home before them. When they opened the door, I saw my husband's Taco Bell bag first. I think to myself 'Really? Why are u going to Taco Bell when you know we are not eating out and you are doing it in front of Girly and two, you know I put that chicken in the crock pot?' Then I saw my daughter come in with a bag for her and my son. Need I say more? She did use fat free Ranch dressing but I don't think it helped much. I asked why he went to Taco Bell and he said because he thought I wouldn't have time to cook. Granted, he was trying to be helpful.
If this was pre-program, I wouldn't have thought it was an issue but this is post-program. I had the chicken and string beans. We will talk about this later. Even if they went to Taco Bell, there should be better choices.
We have to look into it for other restaurants too. This is just one of those set backs that we have to learn from. I have to make sure we have some frozen meals for these cases.
I have to let this one roll off and keep it moving. We both made some wrong choices this week.
