Today proved to not be as easy as expected. The first half of the day wasn't bad at all...I kept myself occupied at work and the spacing of my meals was right on. However by the time I got out of work I was extremely hungry because I didn't plan on staying as late and therefore had not prepared a dinner. I ended up at my friend's house for a brief amount of time, where she had just ordered a pizza. I was aware that I was going out to dinner yet again later on, so in order to not overeat at the restaurant, I helped myself to a slice of plain pizza. About an hour later I ended up at Chili's with my sister. They are notorious for being one of the unhealthiest food chains around, but I did find one item that was on the "guiltless grill" meaning it was lower in calories and fat than some of their other menu items. I ate half and packed the other half away for lunch tomorrow. I did have a beer, it is St. Patty's day after all, but I kept it to one bottle of a light beer. I did skimp on the water today...in fact, I have not drank any at all so far, but I have a huge bottle sitting next to me right now, and have some computer work to do, so I will be sipping, sipping, sipping as the night progresses. Even though it is already midnight. Here is what I ate today:
Breakfast:
-1 packet plain oatmeal with some strawberries and half a banana
*This is always delicious, quick, filling and nutritious.
Lunch:
-Leftovers: 1/2 portion of the Chicken Milanese from last night at Uno's.
Snack:
-1 sugar free chocolate pudding with half a banana
*My friend was fascinated to see me dipping the banana in the pudding. It was delicious though.
-A few sips of coconut water
*I have decided I'm not a huge fan of this. It's an acquired taste and wreaked some havoc on my tum tum.
Snack:
-1 Slice plain pizza
Dinner:
-1/2 Santa Fe Chicken Wrap (wrap, grilled chicken, lettuce, tomato, corn, light ranch, tortilla strips)
*Wrap was great! Glad I only ate half. This will make a yummy lunch tomorrow!
-Broccoli
-1 Bud light lime
*Haven't had a beer in quite some time. It tasted good and wasn't too filling since it was light.
It's funny how as I'm eating I always tend to think I'm overeating...but then when I go back and document my daily meals, it always turns out to be not so much after all. Tomorrow is yet another birthday party, pizza being the only entree on the menu...that will make a third day in a row of pizza. And, being a birthday party, there will surely be cake. I won't go so far as to predict whether or not I will eat any, but I know it could go either way at this point. I am positive, however, that up until the party tomorrow night, I will do my absolute best to keep my meals light and my water intake heavy. I anticipate Saturday being the most difficult day this week. A sit-down dinner at a nice restaurant followed by an after-party? Also, Rob can't train me tomorrow, and I won't be able to get there on saturday, so we'll have to postpone our next workout until monday. But it's OK! Monday will be the beginning of a kick-ass week, I just know it!
