Long Weekends!
Is it just me, or does everyone else have a problems on weekends? Boy, I tell you - it was one eating event after another for me yet again!
Friday night was fine because I stayed home, but Saturday night I had dinner with a neighbor and his dad who is in town and it was "beans and hotdogs with brown bread" night. Yum - ruin a diet for beans and hot dogs! Actually, it was the brown bread that was so yummy and sinful - and I ate every bit of those two pieces I had and enjoyed the heck out of them. good thing I ate a big plate of veggies about an hour before the scheduled dinner (and it made me look like a delicate eater!).
Sunday night I went out to dinner with a fellow Jenny Craig dieter. She's lost over 60 pounds, so going out with her is like going out with a consultant because I can ask her questions about what I can eat and she offers great advise. BIG salads with NO dressing (on the side just in case) were on the menu for the night. It was a grand meal out.
Monday it was hockey with the San Jose Sharks. I enjoyed two beers (hey - it's hockey!) and then we went out to dinner. If you know San Jose, you know Original Joe's. YUMMY and enough to feed you for three days based on one plate. I splurged on a piece of french bread and a couple of bites of ravioli. Ate spinach tossed with garlic, mushrooms and onion - sauteed with olive oil and one of the two lamb chops I ordered. I sent most of the leftovers home with my friend, but that lamb chop and the leftover spinach will be my dinner tonight.
Funny, when I write out what I ate it doesn't seem as bad as it looked when it was all out in front of me. It always looks like more food when it is in half a dozen plates around you at the table...
Makes me think of that point in The Biggest Looser when they show them what they've consumed over the past week. I know those folks have probably binged for the last time and have eaten more then they normally do, but still....YUCK.
Okay, that's it for me - time to get back to work.
Happy Tuesday everyone!
