Recovering from the weekend...
My weekend was a good one. I didn't follow a strict eating plan, although I did manage to stay below my calorie levels each day. Friday I got a craving for some really good chips and salsa, you know the kind you can only get at a good Mexican restaurant. I had a plan in mind, go have some chips and salsa, satisfy my craving and be done with it. As we were pulling into the restaurant my hubby's best buddy called and asked us to meet him for dinner.
Without consulting me dh agreed and off we went to his favorite pizza place. Yes, I did it, I had pizza Friday night. I was very proud of the way I handled the situation. I visited the salad bar and had a big salad before the pizza came. When we got the pizza I had three small pieces. I should mention that this place doesn't slice the pizza like a pie, it cuts it into square pieces, each one being about 2" by 2". The crust is paper thin, the sauce a homemade tomato sauce, loads of veggies, and very little cheese. I believe the pizza was actually a very healthy choice.
Then comes Saturday. I did ok but my attempts at eating clean were gone after Friday night. I had chex cereal with skim milk for breakfast. Spaghetti with meatballs for lunch. Then we went out to satisfy my craving for chips and salsa. This time I succeeded. DH and I split an appetizer as our meal and enjoyed some chips and salsa. That was dinner. I snacked on apples and bananas throughout the rest of the day. I did have about 3 small reese's peanut butter christmas trees.
Sunday I did much better, although I didn't move from my recliner most of the day. I watched movies and curled up with a good book. DH wasn't feeling well and DD had come home from an exhausting slumber party, so she didn't stray far from her room all day.
So in all, it was a good weekend. I could have done better on the food front, but the important thing is I didn't overeat like I normally would have done. I did not work out at all. But today is a new day to a new week. I am planning to hit the gym all five days of this workweek. I'm also back to my clean eating.
