Not the best at eating

Lately I'm had kind of a problem with what I eat. The problem is I'm not making the best choices. I'm eating too much and I'm eating stuff that really isn't that good for me.

Today for example:
Breakfast - 2 McDonald's sausage burritos with 1/2 a hash brown and an apple
Lunch - 2 slices of french bread w/butter, a small salad w/Italian dressing and spinach ravioli's with asparagus and Parmesan cheese
Dinner - Chick Fil A grilled chicken sandwich, 1/2 med waffle fries, Lemonade and a small choc/vanilla swirl cone (from Macey's)

That's a lot of food for one day. Plus I ate out all 3 meals. I know that's not good for me. I keep wondering why I haven't gotten any closer to my goal weight. Maybe because I've been eating like this lately. It kills me when I think about it but at the time I'm enjoying the food. I tried to make ok choices (getting the grilled sandwich and having mustard as the only condiment or spinach ravioli's instead of big plate full of pasta) but it was a lot of eating out and a lot of food.

I'm 5lbs from my goal weight. I have 2 weeks to weigh in. I'm not going to make it. It kind of upsets me but I don't have anyone to blame buy myself. I'm the one that's not making good choices. It's been really hard lately and I'm not sure why. I've been really tired this week which could be helping the problem. When I"m tired I tend to not think ahead as well or prepare or think things through when it comes to food. I think I'm trying to get sick but I just can't seem to either get sick or make it go away.

On a side note this was my workout for the day:

1st Round                       2nd Round
Row 600m                     Run 400m
60 sit ups                       30 sit ups
6 burpees                       5 burpees
60 push ups                    30 push ups
6 burpees                       5 burpees
Row 600m                     Run 400m
30 push press (15lbs)     15 push press (15lbs)
6 burpees                       5 burpees
30 air squats                  15 air squats
6 burpees                      5 burpees
Row 600m                    Run 400m

We did the first workout but it was really short so we did the second one to make getting up at 4:30 am worth it. The first workout took me about 16 mins; the second about 14 mins. I was exhausted when I was done. I actually ran another lap when I was done with the 2nd Round to finish up a mile. I'm trying to run at least a mile each time I go to the gym-whether it's part of the workout or not.

Looking at those workouts...if I actually watched what I ate I could loose weight. I'm working my butt off at the gym. I wish I could kick myself back into gear with my eating choices. I really do.
