So I didn't go to the gym

We spent the morning at the urgent care center. Chris has a bad sprain, and got a brace. He can go to work tomorrow, but he is on sit down duty. There isn't much sitting for a mechanic so he will be doing some training on the computer. I had a protein shake on the way there. Then on the way home, I thought to myself, before we would have driven through somewhere. Now we are going home to eat. For lunch I had weight control quaker oatmeal, then later I had some high protein cereal I bought online. As I read this I am realizing that I had too many carbs. I know I should keep a food journal to avoid this type of thing, but I just can't bring myself to stick with it. I went to the store for my fage yogurt. I sort of freak out if I don't have it, and they were out. I was going to drive to trader joe's to get it, but I bought orange roughy to make for dinner. I will go tomorrow if I can make myself wait. I am working on not giving into the impulses like this. There is no reason I need it tonight, but it is nagging at me. I should have gone to the gym, but I am going to count my food choices as today's victory and not beat myself up over my failure to exercise today. It won't get me to go, and why give into the self hate cycle over it. I think I will tack my gratitude's on the end here
1. Chris' ankle is not broken
2. encouraging words from a family member
3. naps and dayquil
4. new protein I ordered online
5. my dogs, they are the best friends I could have
