An almost failed dinner experience

Last night I failed to plan. There isn't much food in my house at the moment, and I had to take my daughter to the doctor in the late afternoon, then I picked up my husband from school, and I just wasn't in the mood to cook by the time we were all hungry. So I asked my husband to pick me up a chicken quesadilla from Diegos. Not a great choice, but not the worst choice either. And I planned on sharing with my 1 year old. Unfortunately, there was a sign in front of Diegos that said they were closed for 30 days. My husband decided to go to the closest Mexican drive through he could find. They only use GIGANTIC white flour tortillas, which are nowhere near approved. I might have actually eaten some of it, except that he somehow thought I wanted guacamole instead of chicken, so we ended up with a giant cheese and guacamole quesadilla. Actually two of them, because he also forgot that I wanted to share. I cut some up for baby #1, then I stared at it for a couple minutes feeling like an idiot and trying to decide if there was anything I could do to convince myself this was ok to eat. I couldn't. I didn't want to make my husband feel bad, but this comfort food, which I would probably have eaten every bit of, was not worth it. So, I found myself a wheat tortilla, some cheddar cheese and some leftover chicken from the night before and and onion, and I made myself a quick much healthier quesadilla. And you know what? It was delicious.

I hate wasting money. It pains me. So instead of throwing away an entire gigantic quesadilla, I had my husband take it downtown and give it to one of the homeless guys who usually hang out on the same bench every night. I hope he enjoyed it more than I would have.

I found myself really wanting that quesadilla. Honestly, the only reason I didn't eat it was because it didn't have chicken. But resisting was totally worth it. When I stepped on the scale this morning I saw 209. That is officially less than what I claimed as my pre-pregnancy weight. I don't really know what my pre-pregnancy weight was with #2. It could have been more than 210, but that was my best guess. So I have lost round one of baby weight! Now on to round two, which is about twice as much.
