Another weekend gone…
General May 19th, 2008Why does it seem the weekends go by so fast?! It really isn’t fair. There is just so much stuff to do and not enough time. Oh well.
The weekend went well. The party was a huge success. How did I do eating-wise? Well, I did better than normal. Usually I stuff my face with everything there is to eat. Not this time though. I’m glad I made 2 pans of lasagne b/c people didn’t bring that much food. Why come to a potluck not bringing enough food?! But my lasagne that is usually 8 servings got cut into 12 servings, so that cut down on the calories and point value. I overdid it a little on the chips and dips, BUT the dips I brought were virtually fat free and very low cal, so I still did okay. And I didn’t eat as much as I usually would have. Usually I would have come away feeling over-stuffed. Not this time.
Yesterday was an eh…. okay day. I ate WAY too many chips at lunch (with leftover dip of course) and then had a Buffalo Chicken Salad at a bbq joint last night. BUT, I didn’t put any dressing on it. The wing sauce pretty much coated most of the stuff so it was fine. I got the dressing on the side and just dipped my fork into it a few times. andthenIate1/2ofmydaughtersgrilledcheesesandwhichandsomefries
Moving on… back on track today. I haven’t gone grocery shopping yet and that usually kills me, but I brought leftover lasagne for lunch and stopped at the store on the way to work and picked up an Amy’s Breakfast Burrito. I wanted her Tofu Scramble, but silly baby Publix didn’t have it (that is what we call the smaller Publix’s around here - baby ones) Oh well. The burrito is just as filling, has just as much protien, but is lower points value (5 vs 7) AND, I brought the leftover chips and dip for my friends here to enjoy. I don’t want them! Let them eat them and then I don’t have to bring them home!
I am not looking forward to this weekend. My in-laws are coming in which means we will be eating out EVERY meal. UGH!!! I need the willpower to choose healthy choices.

You are doing great! This was definitely a high-risk weekend for you and you made it through with flying colors! Good for you
Oh, hey…I am working on a replacement for fried buffalo chicken. I will let you know if it works. Cooking light has a good blue cheese dressing http://find.myrecipes.com/recipes/recipefinder.dyn?action=displayRecipe&recipe_id=224975
The jalapeno olives I got are just canned, in the olive and pickle aisle. I may have seen stuffed mushrooms. That does sound good.
About the eating out, when I know I am going to be going out I go to the restaurant websites and plan ahead. I find that if I walk in knowing what I will get, it really helps make it less stressful. Good luck!
