Happy Veteran's Day, and if you served THANKS!

I'm still trying to get away from the idea that weekends are 'different' so writing this down helps keep me honest. The plan is

Saturday
B-oatmeal, flax, raisins, honey
L-small Wendy's chili & side salad
S-strawberries, blueberries & yogurt
D-veggie curry, brown rice, cucumbers
S-dk chocolate, tea


Sunday-this could change
B-greek omelet (trying some flax meal in this too)
L-tialpia, sweetpotato, huge salad
S-air popped popcorn, 1 lite beer
D-ww tortilla, brushetta sauce, sprinkkle of mozzarella (my version of pizza), fruit salad or orange
S-dk chocolate, tea

Hm. Might as well plan it now, I guess, while I'm procrastinating on paperwork and watching the Saturday school kiddies (chronic tardies...)

Sat
Br: Irish oats, milk, honey, banana
sn: apple
sn: pear, wasa crackers, cheese
late lunch:

Okay, here's a challenge... Applebees with friends, then moving across the street to the fondue restaurant for dessert (someone has a gift certificate). So...
Grilled shrimp skewer salad. Might have a glass of wine. Then, let the fun begin--I'm thinking I can pick out a hundred fifty or two hundred calories of fruit by eye, but how to count the chocolate when it's melted and dripping off of it may be difficult. No way I'm passing it up, though.

Dinner: small salad w/ olive oil, lemon; ww pasta, the not-whole jarred pasta sauce with some mushrooms thrown in; green beans; bit of parm.

about 2000 cals if I count the fondue right.

Sunday--I'll be running around the countryside with the pooch, so sort of an all-snack day:

Br: Irish oats, milk, honey, banana
sn: apple
sn/lunch: apple, wasa crackers, cheese
sn: fruit-on-bottom yogurt, banana
dinner: tuna, some mostly whole-grain crackers, small salad w/ olive oil, lemon, some parm

about 1800 calories.

B: 1 cup skim milk, banana, organic peanut butter, dark chocolate
L: Lentil soup, WW crackers
S: green apple
D: Asian chicken, salad with olive oil and vinagar, WW bread
S: 2 cups air popped popcorn

Saturday-a little off plan (OK, a lot)

B-one and a half bananas, OJ, biscuits out of a can (!), 100 cal pack of cookies (!!), coffee w/ skim
S-still more coffee, scones, zucchini bread, fruit salad (DD's play group oops--none of this was healthy except maybe the fruit--it got better after this)
L-leftover moo shoo chicken, rice
S-nf plain yogurt w/ fruit (pineapple, strawberry, kiwi), dk chocolate
D-frittata, salsa, dk chocolate
S-oatmeal w/ soymilk

about 2500 calories (shooting for 2300 in prep for Sunday's run)

Sunday (9 mile run)

B-special K w/ soymilk (high GL for run)
Run: sports gel
B2-OJ, coffee w/ h&h and real sugar, dry ww toast, relatively healthy Denver omelette w/ ham, onions and green peppers
S-V8, banana, dk chocolate
L-more leftover moo shoo chicken & rice
S-raison bran w/ soymilk
D-grillled eye of round steak, carrots roasted w/ olive oil and tangerine (yum!), bruschetta, dk chocolate, tangerines

About 2400 calories (shooting for 2300 today with the run)

Tomorrow I'm on travel, so I'll check back in Tuesday.
