Weekends are harder for me, since I am less distracted by work and snack more. This past weekend I had two parties to go to (hence all the beer). The Saturday party was good cause everything was low cal or low fat, and I essentially knew what I was eating. Not so much last night! I did get in a good workout on Saturday to counter act Saturday's calories - but took a rest day yesterday. I am not going to beat myself up about it though! Back on track today, and don't have any parties this weekend to have a temptation!

Breakfast: English Muffin, 1 TB butter, 1 TB Peanut butter - 240
Lunch: Grilled Chicken Salad, w. 1 slice mozzerala cheese, 1 hard boiled egg, 3 TB Low Cal Italian dress, 2 crackers - 421
Dinner: 8 oz 90/10 ground beef, 2/3 cup alfrado noodles, 1/2 c. corn - 758
Drinks: Coffee creamer - 255

TOTAL CALORIES - 1674

Feeling frustrated today - I haven't let myself gain this much back ever since I lost weight 5 years ago - And as I typed that and started to go into how much I had lost I realized that I have been exercising and eating healthily for 5 years - At the end of last year I started seriously emotionally eating in France - feeling stressed out - came back and my relationship was less than perfect (more emotional eating) and then came the holidays... So it makes sense that I would have gained weight - It just SUCKS that it's going to take so much effort to get back to my comfie weight - Oh well here's day 10 of being back on track...

Breakfast: yogurt w/ flax seed (125)
Snack: Almonds (225)
Lunch: Veggie chickpea soup (200)
Snack: PB w/ soy milk (150)
Dinner: Salad w/ chickpeas & tuna (500)
Dessert: SF Jello (40)
= Just over 1200

As frustrating as it is I just have to keep plugging away.
