This time it’s for real

Well that was a good weekend I ate very clean all weekend and was pleased to see another pound drop. Only 2 more pounds to go till I get to pre-easter weight, then just going to continue to eat as clean as possible and workout whenever I get the chance. I’m tired of stressing about not getting in my exercise and so on- I’ll do it when I can! I got in an hour on Sunday so that was good

I actually found that I was able to not go nuts over the weekend. Friday night I ate out- BUT I had a healthmex burrito from Rubios with salsa, and that was only like 530 calories with the salsa. Then Saturday for breakfast I had two multigrain eggo waffles with syrup for elss than 200 calories. I didn’t eat anything at the theater (yay me), not even a sip of soda or one bite of popcorn. I got a bottled water and that was it. Funny thing I think my behavior is rubbing off on my hubby- he got a popcorn and soda and usually eats ALL of it- he ate half of it, I hate wasting food so next time I’ll tell him get a small popcorn and soda. No it’s not cuz I didn’t eat any popcorn the he only ate half- I usually get nachos. So after the movies we did eat at the mall, BUT there is a place there called Hibachi-San that has very low cal food. I got a shrimp salad that was 300 calories. Then I made dinner that evening, burgers at home, sure it was a 900 calorie meal, but I actually stayed within 1700 calories

Then Sunday I made fiber one pancakes for the family with reduced sugar syrup, just over 400 calories for breakfast We took broc out to the swap meet and she had some fun, sure she was tethered BUT she got to go out and see people and the world outside- you could tell she was very interested and looking all around. When we got to some bird breeder she started screaming at the other birds it was so cute. When we left Chad wanted a soda so we went to burger king drive through and got a soda and small fries- and normally I don’t do this but broc was so good I gave her a french fry. If she could talk she would have said OMG THIS… IS… SOOOOO… GOOD!!!! I won’t lie I ate the rest of the fries but really it was like 150 calories so :p. When we got home I made hot wings with celery and ranch, I had 6 wings, 2 tbsp ranch, and some celery for 560 calories. Then dinner I had been craving fish for a while so I grilled some fish (which my hubby ate and liked), made some white rice, and salad with the wishbone just2good italian dressing. The whole meal was 530 calories. I am missing my mom so that meal just reminded me of her, she’d make the yummiest fish and white rice and salad. Though I didn’t eat nearly what I used to when she’d make it. I have an extra piece of fish and cup of rice for lunch today YUMMY

SOOO this weekend was good and the goal is next weekend to do the SAME thing, not eat out if possible or if I do pick healthy choices. Not think “oh it’s the weekend, time to pig out!”

Oh and some more good news- I have not been snacking at night either. Yes I am PROUD to report the last three nights I have eaten dinner and that’s it. No after dinner snacks, which I am sure really helps. Even if I think of something I might want I don’t get it, then I grab some water- so it’s helping not only my water intake, but keeping me from snacking. WOO!

I leave you with this cutsie picture of an african grey bird- isn’t he adorable?!

PS I just went and checked Sterling’s blog and I guess she deleted it. Anyone hear from her by chance? Just curious.
