Okay, peeps...howzit goin? One more holiday weekend day to go, though! So far: 1.  Friday night:  seafood buffet. Um, ate a lot. The good news:  only two drinks, gin & diet tonic. at work, did not eat much at all. Had my typical hour walk that morning. , 2.  Saturday:  river hike, shortie, with DH. About 1 hour, slow, taking pictures.  Food was moderate:  1 egg, 2 veg patty sausages, 1 pice sourdough toast, 1 c nf milk.   Lunch:  small meatloaf sandwich, spinach leafs on it, light mayo. 1 svg thai potato chips, diet pepsi, 1 ripe pear. snack:  1 large piece persimmon bread with light cream cheese on it.    Worked at Greek Glendi Fundraiser with my friend, carried about 20 plates of food, preplated about 60 plates, helped with clean up - broke my back for 4 hours straight.  Supper: 2 spanikopitas (phyllo w/spinach, feta), cukes, 1 svg popcorn chicken and 3 strong gin & diet tonics after my shift there! 9:30 at night finally sat down. 3.  Sunday:  over the top bike ride - 4.5 hours! I stumbled on a new mountain bike trail just on the outskirts of town - straight up a mountain, had to walk it. I stopped mid-ride and had a cup of coffee with 1/2 protein bar.  Breakfast this morning was hearty:  1 ounce sausage patty + 1 egg + 2 small sourdough toasts, no butter + 1 c nf milk. + 1 c blueberry-pomegranate juice.    snack after ride:  1/2 c cottage cheese + salsa + rye crisps + lean ham.   Supper is a scandal:  chille rellano, made by me - we have a bumper crop of peppers!!!! Spanish rice and blac beans to accompany.   4.  Monday:  supposed to be rainy:  yoga plans, clean house. Have to make green tomato relish, too, to use up more peppers, green tomatoes, etc. . Food will be better than the past two days..better keep my fat like non-existent. i better start with oatmeal tomorrow morning!

You are one hardcore biker, Neecee! I was in California this week visiting friends. Yikes! I scraped by eating to maintain rather than gain (or so I think)...but it was close! L.A. has the best Mexican food and I also discovered Newcastle beer Friday lunch: Grilled chicken and veggies (peppers/mushrooms) with white rice at a restaurant w/ friend. Went light on the rice but ate all the chicken, which was not my goal. Friday dinner: Chicken lettuce wraps at a restaurant with friends. Again, everything on the plate was pretty light except for the chicken...and I ate all of it again. Friday drink: 1 gin and regular tonic. Saturday: Went for a quick (15 minutes or so) easy hike. Lunch: Turkey (deli-style) sandwich on white bread with cucumbers, sprouts, and avocado. Again I ate the whole thing instead of half. Went for a 20-minute afternoon jog. Dinner... Giant shrimp burrito...filled with just shrimp and black beans. ONCE AGAIN I ate the whole thing instead of half. Sigh. Saturday drink...1 Newcastle beer. Today, Sunday: Ate pretty light until the evening because I was on a plane all day. 1 biscotti and a 100-calorie pack of junky cookies on the plane, plus black coffee. Said I'd go for another 20-minute jog when I got home, but after driving home in traffic from the airport, I passed. I'm OK with that. (My goal is to finally enact my 20-minute evening jogging practice plan this week.) Sunday dinner: Mixed sprout salad with cabbage, radishes, watercress, all sorts of sprouts, chopped peanuts, possibly other raw veggies mixed in -- from one of my favorite restaurants. Added the mint vinaigrette myself...a moderate amount, I think. Also had millet and kidney beans on the side...took about 1/2 of the restaurant portion so I am happy with that. And I am now sipping on some ginger tea sweetened w/ stevia. Monday goals: Get back on my regular eating plan, resume A.M. exercise, add in 20 minutes of jogging practice around 4 p.m. I want to do a 12-minute mile but I am not quite there yet. At least not with crying and passing out afterwards.

Okay... well Friday night... Homemade chili cheese dogs....  Ate three, but ditched the bread. Saturday - Worked out at the gym and burned about 600 calories.  2 meximelts from Taco Bell (Fresco Style) and then later went to the Mongolian grill for Mongolian style Shrimp and Veggies.. No oriental noodles... just straight veggies and shrimp. Sunday - after Church was hungry as heck... went to Whataburger and ate about 1100 in one sitting....  took daughter to Nemo on Ice.... then went with mom to Chilis and had a the Spicy Chicken Flat Bread.  Did not eat the chips. Today - Protein Bar for breakfast, and snack, Soup for Lunch (Italian Sausage and Pepporoni) Dinner Shrip covered Tilapia and Brocolli. Gym at lunch! Monday morning weigh in is 266!

Wooo... y'all make me feel like a lazy sack of sh*t... Saturday:  B: skipped S: Yogurt (about a cup) L: Popcorn (went to the movies) D: 4 Steamed Dumplings S: Protein shake Sunday: B: Half a PB&J sandwich L: 3 chicken nuggets and some fries (but I puked that up) D: 1 1/2 slices of pizza S: Protein shake Exercise - Nada - zilch - none.   Weight lost this past week: None - Stayed the same

This weekend I ate awful.  We did go out to my dh friends saturday night and I actually lived! :)  I did get really drunk though so the rest of the weekend I was paying for it.  First I want to say thanks for the encouragement to go.  I didn't meet any "friends" like dh was hoping for, but it broke my fear of about four years so I'm fine with just that.

Saturday night I didn't eat at thier house since I was drinking.  After that though I had to eat something so yea..bad bad bad Holly went to Taco Bell.  You don't wanna know what I had, but it was bad.  During the day I had a 100 cal popcorn bag, and some oatmeal.

Sunday I had eggs, two morning star patties, and a piece of toast.  I skipped lunch (I had such a hang over) and I ended up being bad again and had three pieces of pizza.  I also drank TONS of water.

My chest hurt really bad on Sunday, and still does.  I didn't even want to get up and cook.  I have developed asthma this past year and still trying to figure out my triggers.  I think either smoke or some kinds of animal hair is one of the causes.  Since I got back from that house my chest is just killing me.  Today feels better, but it still feels "injured", if that makes sense.  Another reason why I hate going to strangers houses!ughh 

OOOOHHHH!!!!  Check this out.  Here ya know my fears of going over there.  Well while I was there some chick yelled at to my dh to go smoke a cigarette with her.  My dh doesn't smoke!!!!  He has been telling me he quit and has one like every six months or so.  I'm so above and beyond  pissed with him at the moment.  I haven't even been able to talk to him about it because I'm so pissed.  I hate lying, just hate it.  Plus I jus****ched my father get lung cancer and watched him slowly die for four months so no..I really don't want him smoking.  And with my asthma...grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I wasn't very good :(  I can't remember what I ate on Sat! It was within my point range though- then came the BIRTHDAY parties!  We had TWO on Sat. One at noon & one at 3:00.  I fought the urg for cake but at the second one- it was supper time and I hadn't eaten ANYTHING- they made pizza and I passed that up- but I did have a small piece if CAKE and ice-cream to! Sunday came and I over ate again :(  I ate tons of the natural cheetos and a roll. Looking back, I can see:  I had *nothing* that was a good "sit-down" type meal- nothing substantial to hold me on either of those days. Had I EATEN something- maybe I'd not have had the munchies so bad? I'm on track today!!!

I did good overall. On friday...ugh?? what the hell did i eat friday night...ahh, yes.  I went to a chinese restaurant, and had steamed chicken with green beans, ginger sauce and brown rice..I get this almost every time, and eat only about 1/3, then save the rest for lunch. Saturday for breakfast, I had a carmelized onion (1 tablespoon of olivio) and scrambled eggs with some ketchup. Saturday lunch, I skipped because I went to a football game right across the street from my gym, so after the game I went to the gym (I don't eat right before going to the gym....it's just a personal policy of mine).  Saturday dinner--I cashed in on my leftovers from Sunday. Sunday breakfast--scrambled eggs with mushrooms and tomatoe, no cheese (but ketchup), and some refried beans (very small amount-about two tablespoons worth). I went to the library to study for a few hours, then to the gym. breakfast was so late that I sailed through lunch and had an early dinner--fish tacos!!  I make the corn tortilla's homemade with my tortilla press (best.thing.ever), then I bake the halibut in the oven and eat it on the tortillas with fat-free sour cream with a cucumber mixed in with it.  i know it sounds a bit odd, but it's one of my favorite meals, haha. so that's all.  I try really hard to go to the gym both days on the weekends.  it's sort of my way of paying myself back for a long hard week at work (I also go to the gym during the week, but the weekends are my own stress-relief time). However, this is one of my best weekends I've had in awhile--trying to finish this off and reach my goal has been KILLING me!!
