Another Memorial Day - Oh Boy…

Posted grneyedmustang on May 21st, 2009 | Filed under South Beach Diet, dieting, vacation, weight loss

So, another Memorial Day is upon me. I am sitting here, thinking and contemplating on how I’m going to limit this weekend’s caloric debauchery - because I’m being honest with myself right now, and I know that I WILL be participating in some of it. Especially since I’m going on vacation with my new found friend :) and he has requested some very bad foods. Namely, ribs, macaroni and cheese, fried shrimp, and publix cake. Along with a pomegranate martini here and there.

Here’s my plan:

  • Behave during breakfast (only eat south beach diet friendly foods, NO KRISPY KREME DOUGHNUTS)
  • Behave during lunch, eating only SBD friendly foods once again
  • misbehave a little during dinner (the first night in Panama City, we’re going to Carrabba’s, so I can definitely keep it SBD friendly there. I’m totally feeling Chicken Marsala with a side of sauteed spinach and a caesar salad. MMMMMM!)
  • Exercise daily - nothing beats an early morning walk on the beach, right?
  • Drink wine primarily when we decide to partake in alcoholic beverages
  • Take SBD friendly snacks to snack on during the road trip and in the condo
  • PHASE 1 when I get back from Panama City

    • So there’s my strategy for this weekend. Maybe I can get Brandon to work out with me. I might even pack Jillian Michaels up and take her with me, LOL. I think there may be a DVD player in the condo, so I could do her workouts as well.

    Speaking of Brandon, he called me his girl last night. I know I sound like a 17 year old kid, but I can’t help it! It’s been a long time since I have felt like this about anyone - and it seems the feelings are reciprocal. Things are going very well between us, and I definitely think we’re going to have a blast this weekend.

    Wish me luck this weekend - hopefully I won’t need it on all fronts (exercise, diet, and relationship)…

      That sounds like a good plan of attack and a realistic one. :) It’s ok to kick back and have fun and it’s good to see someone realize that. ;) All work and no play makes for a dulllll chickie.

      Enjoy your time in Panama City! :)
