Geeze. I ate low-sugar oatmeal this morning before going to work--so I did good there. Then I came home and my mom and bf stuffed me with "treats" on my special day (it is only my 2nd mother's day so I guess it's a big deal). My mom bought me a 12 pack of Coke. I'm sending it to work with my boyfriend tomorrow so I won't have it in the house. Tomorrow starts another day so I will try to get back on track, burn some extra calories, and eat a bit less to help somewhat make up for it.
I'm starting to hate holidays, lol. I will be well-prepared for the next.
My husband and the kids served me breakfast in bed -- strawberries, cantelope and 1/2 a bagel -- awesome!!
Then we had KFC for lunch, but I actually figured out my WW and it was okay -- then I kept picking on the cake that came with it until I was over a bit -- but I'm hoping my weigh in tomorrow isn't too much of a disaster!!
We had a barbecue today complete with burgers, dogs, chips, cookies, cupcakes and beer, and I'm embarrassed to say I went a little crazy. I've been eating so well for months now, but as soon as ate one cookie I had to have another (and another, and another), and before long I had a few of everything. I managed to stop myself before things got really ugly (as would have been the case a year or two ago) but I really overate today. I don't want to face the scale. Sigh.
Breakfast - MSF burger on half Flatout bread with Aoili garlic mustard
Snack - frozen grapes and cheddar cheese
Lunch - Veggie stir fry with cashews and tofu
Snack - protein bar
Dinner - Lentil soup, with ww homemade bread grilled cheese with avocado pepper spread
Snack - LF string cheese with shiraz wine and one piece of 70% dark chocolate
It got me a little off track because I ate 2 servings of dessert at lunch (dinner for us on Sun). But otherwise I've done pretty well.
Breakfast: 2 slices bacon and fruit
Lunch (dinner) - buffet meal but I was pretty careful except had two servings of dessert. Kept it to a small bowl though piled a little high.
Dinner (supper): none really...just a frappe (140 cals) and some fruit.
Don't plan on eating anything else tonight.
A bit, although it had nothing to do with Mother's Day (my mom lives in Europe, so I called her as I do every Sunday).
But on Saturday, our street had a street garage sale, which is always organized by my next door neighbours. I did not participate in the garage sale (I was busy at the gym ) but they called me in the afternoon to come over for a little party. Nobody from the other people showed up, just another couple from across the street (big friends of my neighbours). So we chatted, nibbled on fruit and veggies (no dip for me) and then my neighbours ordered pizza. (I did already have my traditional slice at the farmers's market, like any other Saturday).
The pizza arrived, and my goodness, it was LOADED with pepperoni, huge chunks of bacon, mushroom and onion. It's from a place I am not familiar with and oh my gosh, I have to say it was DIVINE. I had two small slices - I found it impossible not have a second one. THEN a cake arrived, unfortunately in such a way, that a plate was dumped in front of me already with a slice on it. So I had that,too.
But, I had no regrets (although had I been asked, I would have politely declined the cake). I did not eat for the rest of the day (I think I had some steamed broccoli later on when I got hungry). I did not accept beer and was drinking water only.
But the real problem came on Sunday. I sat in my living room and I could not get the thought of the pizza out of my head. I could literally taste it. I thought, ok, I will order it, have a slice and put the rest to the freezer and I can always defrost just a slice. Well after about an hour of the devil's whispering into my ear I got strong and decided NO, I AM NOT ORDERING ANY PIZZA - because I knew I would not be able to stay with just one slize. (I did say that the pizza was divine, didn't I)?
I was back on track yesterday. If I had known about the Saturday's afternoon party beforehand, I would have skipped the morning pizza. Oh well. Life goes on.
My family fried some fish (fresh walleye that were swimming around only several days ago-courtesy of my Dad-, dipped in a beer-batter and deep fried in peanut oil in our little deep fryer... YUM) and though I couldn't resist a few pieces of it, it was all fine and dandy because I knew it was coming and planned it into my calorie allowance for the day.
I was fine at the train party saturday night. I had the host grill some veggies for me and I ate those with my burger while they had rolls and chips and potatoes with theirs...
sunday was mother's day
DH took me to brunch
i had the "light breakfast"
1 bagel (an extra special treat for me) w/ff cream cheese (very lightly spread)
some egg beaters
a huge fruit plate
then dinner was
parmesan encrusted tilapia
grilled veggies
brussel sprouts
huge salad w/feta
and for DH and daughter quiona!
i opted not to have the quiona since i had two grains with my bagel
oh and i had a healthy choice fudge pop for my bedtime snack
I thought I would do amazing!! My dad offered to grill me up a piece of salmon instead of the cheeseburgers everyone else was having! but....then came the desserts, and potato salad, and baked beans...I don't think I did HORRIBLE but i could've been better. But, I will get right back on track!!!!
Did Mother's Day knock anyone else off-track?
I'm sending it to work with my boyfriend tomorrow so I won't have it in the house. Tomorrow starts another day so I will try to get back on track, burn some extra calories, and eat a bit less to help somewhat make up for it.
