I finally finished tallying up my weekend, so here it is . . .

Friday:
B - oatmeal, raisins, blueberries, skim milk
L - 2 slices papa john's veggie pizza
S - apple
D - rice, stir fry of choy sum and tofu with teriyaki sauce
S - handful of raisins, some of DH's beer
E - none, it was raining

Saturday:
B - oatmeal, raisins, blueberries, skim milk
L - leftover rice and veggies
D - @restaurant, margarita, salad w/italian dressing, couple pieces of bread, 6oz bacon-wrapped sirloin steak w/bbq sauce, baked sweet potato with butter on the side (I only used half the butter)
S - 1/2 oz semisweet chocolate
E - none

Sunday:
B - raisin bran, skim milk
L - fettucine, sauce
D - roasted chicken, carrots, pumpkin chestnut stuffing, glass of wine
S - hot cocoa w/marshmallows
E - swim intervals

The funny thing is that even with a restaurant meal in there, my calories for Saturday and Sunday came out approximately the same (about 1750). Weird. Also weird is that Tuesday for some reason I ate 1800.

Dinner yesterday was kind of a disaster, but in terms of emotions, not actual food. Suffice to say that I asked DH to cook while I went for my run, expecting food to be done when I got back, and forgetting that it takes him about 10x as long to make a recipe as it takes me. Hungry Jessica = grouchy Jessica, and I am embarrassed to admit that I yelled at DH then cried because I was hungry. Everything worked out in the end though.

Tuesday:
B - oat bran, raisins, blueberries, sugar, skim milk
L - leftover pumpkin chestnut stuffing, asparagus, and frozen veggies
S - apple
D - spaghetti and turkey meatballs with mushrooms and green beans
S - hot apple cider
E - NRLW S4W4A

It is sunny outside... wish I had my stuff for the park...

On the upside, I went into Panera Bread and came out with only a salad. Walked right past the pastry case and the individual wrapped cookies, brownies and bagel bites stuffed all around the register...

Yesterday was decent. The council meeting provided wraps, cut into pretty small pieces. I had one piece of a spicy beef one. Quite tasty. The meeting however lasted from 6 pm to 11 pm, and the mini-snickers got me (they are not Halloween candy though!)

B - oatmeal with stewed prunes, walnuts, skim milk; 1/2 ww bagel with pb
S - cookie at work
L - leftover ww spaghetti with homemade sauce
S - grapes, cheddar cheese
D - ? probably a chicken salad (out with GFs)

Ex: cardio at lunch

Did you check the wrappers, Pat?

Jessica, I'd love to see that recipe (if it turns out good)!

Shannon, I brought my running stuff to work today! It's like summer out there! 3.5 miles, baby!

Why, yes I did! Nary a word about a certain holiday.... The clerks buy them all the time to placate the council members and the Dept Directors who are required to attend the meetings....
