Alright, this weekend was pretty good. It is so hard to be on someone else's schedule. I went out of town with my inlaws (without husband, he had a bluegrass festival to go to) for a wedding a few hours away. My father in law drove.
I was doing fine, planning before eating, counting servings and planning for dinners. At the wedding I skipped the rice, garlic mashed potatoes, corn, pasta salad, bread and brownies and stuck with salad, chicken, roast beef and 3 small red potato halves. I was feeling pretty good about that, because we were supposed to go to a bar that night for dinner (reception was at 2pm) and I saved a starch, two veggies and a protein for dinner. (I did take two bites of the wedding cake and handed it off, but I passed the three tasty looking Hershey Nuggets on to my mother in law.. I was proud.)
We ended up ordering in from a Chinese restaurant instead of going to the bar. I got a meal off the diet menu, and told them to cut the salt. I got chicken with mixed veggies, and the very UN-salty sauce came on the side. It was great! I'd never done that before, so it worked.
The drive home I had a Lite and water. I brought my own fruit, just in case it wasn't easily accessible over the weekend, and that worked. The one thing that screwed me up was, after spending 4 hours in the car on Sunday, I was ready to eat when I got home, but it was dinner time. I had to have lunch and dinner in one meal. Fortunately, I had a pretty good breakfast, and it held me over for a while, but the one big meal instead of two smaller could hurt me on the scale today at my WI.
I jogged two miles on the treadmill last night, and walked another 3/4. I'm definitely going to have to make that happen more frequently. I'm thinking about doing a TakeOff next Monday/Tuesday, if anyone is interested in joining me. I need to kick off another three pounds and I can drop down to the next plan.. Who's in?
