Hi, guys!
How was everyone's weekend?
We were out of town to visit my DFIL who is in the final stages of cancer. Between spending 10+ hours in the car and all the food temptations, I just wasn't sure how the weekend would go.
Friday night, I ate part of DH's 2nd soft pretzel but otherwise stuck to fruit and water for the ride out to the Pittsburgh area.
Saturday morning, I had an apple and hard boiled egg that I'd brought in a cooler bag.
Lunch at McDonald's was hard -- I ended up with grilled chicken with lettuce and tomato on a whole wheat roll. Not core, but not awful.
Munched in the afternoon on apples.
Dinner was baked ziti and garlic bread, but I bought frozen grilled chicken strips and olives & artichoke antipasto and had a huge salad of lettuce, tomato, cucumber, olives, artichokes & grilled chicken.
Late night, after saying a sad goodbye to my DFIL, I was desperately in need of comfort food and had a McDonald's hot fudge sundae with nuts.
Yesterday I was very good on breakfast choices -- apple, 2 hard boiled eggs, coffee w/skim milk (DH's and DS's breakfast croissant and breakfast bagel and hash browns smelled so good!
). I kept reminding myself I'd be carrying anything I eat 26.2 miles in just 2 months and that was enough to keep me on the straight and narrow.
I was really worried about being fueled for my LR yesterday and only ate a chicken/turkey/mushroom burger w/FF cheese before heading to the Y. I didn't feel too hungry the first couple of miles but then my stomache was growling and I was feeling light-headed. I had 1 bag of sport beans and used those and about 30 oz of powerade/water, but by the time I got home (after 8.58 miles) I was really hungry. I picked at everything I cooked -- couscous, barley, lean ground beef, pasta. UGH! My dinner was delicious, but I definitely had an "entitlement" attitude going and later allowed myself a few pretzel crisps and a handful of doritos. It wasn't mindless eating, though, so that almost makes it worse. Eating something I knew I shouldn't. I definitely have to get shopping for some bananas and apples and start turning to those again.
This week will be better. Hoping to get lots of water in today and tomorrow before tomorrow night's weigh in. Worried that it is at night when the past two weeks have been morning WI's -- hoping it won't look like the scale is up.
So, what's up with you guys?
I was so hoping to have a good loss. Not havign my own scale with, ,though makes it tough to co,mmpare.
