Apology to Myself

This is the thing: journaling what you eat is not effective unless you REPORT EVERY DAY.

So, embarrassing or annoying as it is, I will try again.

The past week has not been bad. I have stayed underneath 2000 but not under 1500. I ate smores at YW and some chocolate, but, in general, it has been ok.

This is the weekend. Weekends are hard. But I am trying to be more dedicated for at least a couple of months in eating lower calories before I start in on the "maintaining" part of my weight loss goals. (That is funny since I have been basically maintaining my weight for the last eight months!)

Friday, Saturday, and Sunday

My parents came to town for the weekend and I did not count calories. It's a good thing, too, because I would have been counting for awhile...

We ate at some "buffet style" restaurants which do offer salad fixins', but, instead this weekend I chose to eat the following:

  • mashed potatoes
  • [strangely colored bright yellow] gravy
  • scone
  • honey butter
  • cornbread
  • taste of apple crisp and peach cobbler (not good, by the way)
  • turkey
  • bite of brownie
  • some water-logged veggies
  • breakfast yogurt parfait (as usual)
  • puffed corn
  • individual pineapple pizza
  • side salad
  • farfalle with half alfredo, half marinara sauce
  • meatball
  • garlic bread
  • rootbeer
  • soda pop candy
  • several bites of chocolate mousse pie
  • crispy chicken sandwich

  • 3 biscuits and honey
  • 1 snickers mini ice cream bar

Thursday, and it all comes crashing down

Two words for you:

Cinnamon Rolls

...and they were delicious*...some of my best, so far

And I'm out of good veggies, so I am feeling listless and bored when it comes to menu planning.

So sue me.

*They were supposed to be for the gals I visit teach and some friends, but practically no one was home when I went on delivery duty. So what was a gal like me to do? No, seriously, I just kept tasting them and they just kept on tasting good.

Monday

I didn't count, again, today. And do you want to know why?

Because I ate, like, five of those danged shortbread triangles from yesterday this morning, before breakfast. That's why!

And I figured "well there goes the day, might as well pig out like crazy." Which I didn't actually do--though I didn't, in any sense of the word, eat like a lady.

Tomorrow we begin anew!

Fast Sunday

Didn't count. Not that it didn't count, just I didn't count.

1/4 Cheese bagel
Rice
Grilled marinated pork tenderloin
Sauteed sugar snap peas with shallots, almonds, and lemon
Lots of Lime shortbread with white chocolate and almonds
