Lifeisgood_5 check in before weighing in
Hey there everyone! I've been so very busy with work and enjoying the sunshine here in CA that I haven't had time to blog about my eating or what has been going on in my life.
I've been bad about logging my food every day for the last few days. Mostly because I've been out eating at parties and in all day meetings here at work. What I do know is that whether I went over my daily points and party points for the week or not, I feel good about what I'm doing.
Sunday I went for my weekly dinner with girlfriends and decided, after forgetting my own dinner at home, to enjoy a little of everything and not get into the drama of points. I did eat the chocolate, but only after I ate most of the veggie platter that was put out (minus the dressing). I also had two huge bottles of water while I was there, so that kept me from the champagne/blueberry drink everyone else was having. I did well!
Yesterday was all day meetings here at work. I did have a half a bagel in the morning meeting but after that I was putting out fires and searching out the cause of multiple problems so I had no time to really eat. However, I had plenty of leftover fruit platters around allowing me to have two cups of fruit during the day to keep me going. By the time I got home after a 12hr workday and running a quick errand on my way home I couldn't do much more than a WW yogurt for dinner. I felt satisfied with the fruit and lots of water, so I feel good about that. I didn't overeat and I didn't starve myself on a crazy hectic day.
Today I'm back to logging my food in eTools - although the tool seems to be having problems today. I weigh in tonight and if I've lost another pound I'll be happy.
How do you handle unexpected long days like mine was yesterday? There was no warning to a 12hr nonstop day, so I hadn't planned on bringing in my lunch (I usually get a salad from the cafeteria on weekdays). Other than WW snacks in my drawer, what else would you suggest for quick foods to keep us all going?
Happy Wednesday everyone!
