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
• apple, chicken, pecan, blue cheese salad
• chicken rice soup
• 3 biscuits and honey
• 1 snickers mini ice cream bar
• popcorn
• cheese stick
• 1 andes mint
• Healthy choice frozen meal (gross)

Now. Isn't that sad?
