Ok people weekend recap time…Clifnotes version? I ate like a
fat kid at a buffet L
Ok maybe it wasn’t THAT bad, but it still wasn’t that good
either! It started on Friday night with happy hour festivities. My plan to eat salad and grilled chicken went
right out the window as soon as I had a beer in my hand. I had chips (which I counted out a serving of
onto my plate instead of eating mindlessly right from the bag,
thankyouverymuch), I had a homemade soft pretzel that one of my girlfriends
made (sooo good, and how could I say no to a home baked pretzel!?), and then I
had pizza. Oh and I had 5 beers! (But,
they were Miller 64s, so it really wasn’t too bad calorie wise, just lowered my
inhibitions for eating!) I was pretty
proud of myself on a very small level though, because I did track EVERYthing I put
in my mouth that night, and while it wasn’t a number to write home about, an
1800 calorie net for the day isn’t the end of the world).
And then came Saturday..and the Sox/Baltimore game. I did good with my “plan” for the most part,
up until the end of the game. We stopped
at DD on the way up…black coffee and an veggie egg white flatbread for me, kept
me under 300 calories for breakfast.
Then we stopped at a pizza joint before going into the game: everyone
got pizza and a pitcher of beer. Lame
ass me got a salad and a bottle of water (I just had pizza and beer the night
before!!) We got to the game, and I
still didn’t drink or eat anything else, but my sister lives in Boston and
offered to meet us up for a drink after the game. She ended up getting to the bar before the
game was over (it went to 12 innings with an Orioles win, go O’s!), so I left right
after the 11th inning to meet up with her and watch the rest of the
game in the bar. When I got there, she
already had a beer waiting for me: Pumpkin Beer with a rim of Cinnamon and
Sugar, YUM!!
I’m such a sucker for anything pumpkin this time of year, and she
was buying, so who was I to turn down a FREE beer!? She bought me another beer before the rest of
the gang even got there, then we sat for dinner (and another beer!). I had already done a salad for lunch, so I
really wasn’t feeling another one for dinner.
I tried to be healthy by picking a Grilled Chicken Sandwich (but it came
with bacon and avocado too!) and instead of regular fries I got sweet potato (I
like to pretend those are healthy for me).
All in all, I have no idea how many calories I took in that day, because
I stopped tracking after breakfast, which is not good at all. The only saving grace I had that day was the
fact that we parked really far away from Fenway, so we had like a 25 minute
walk both ways. Here's a few more pics from the game for your viewing pleasure:
Sunday wasn’t AS bad, but since I waitress at a breakfast diner,
I’m around awesome food all morning that I really shouldn’t eat. I had a bagel with cream cheese first thing
in the morning (7:30 am) which keeps me pretty full until I’m done with my
shift at 1pm. We get free food at the
end of our shift, and yesterday they had PUMPKIN PANKCAKES on special (See my
previous comment about ANYTHING pumpkin this time of year!) So I ordered that for breakfast, only ate 1 pancake
and brought the rest home to the hubs (yay for self control!). I did ok the rest of the day, then capped the
weekend off with a pint of B&J’s Greek Fro-Yo…another food item I like to
tell myself is “healthy” even though a pint of anything is not even close to
healthy (But it’s fro-yo!! AND it’s GREEK!
Anyone? No? I digress).
How did your weekend go? Any small victories to share?
