I've come to the conclusion that a daily rehash of what I eat is boring. Go figure. You've seen a weeks worth of meals and can see that I'm eating regular food and staying within my calories. From this point on, I'm only going to post the exceptions. If I can figure out a way to link my "myfitnesspal" profile, I'll do that.
Friday and Saturday I stayed within my range, as a matter of fact, I was under by 128 on Friday and under by 201 on Saturday. Saturday's total is impressive because we had take-out chinese food for dinner. It took me a little research to figure out what to order. Our usual place has a steamed diet menu, with sauce on the side which isn't bad, but I wanted something different. The problem is that when you google healthy chinese food, you get a bunch of websites that say order from the steamed menu and stay away from General Tso's. They also mention to stick with foods that aren't fried or come with a heavy sauce. The problem is that I don't know how many of the dishes on the menu are prepared... I eventually found a site that listed dishes and calorie counts. And I forgot to bookmark it. Anyway, I settled on shrimp with chinese vegetables and a small wonton soup. It was about 500 calories total.
Sunday was my blow-off day, and I came in at just under 3000 calories for the day. I did o.k. with breakfast and lunch (cereal and subway). However we ordered ribs for dinner, with fries and macaroni and cheese. It was really good and that meal was over 1400 calories! Well worth it! The strawberry cheesequake blizzard from dairy queen was an extra treat!
All in all, a good weekend! Plus, the Bucs finally won on the west coast! The Pens shit the bed, but I'm not much of a hockey fan, so I don't really care about that!
All it takes is patience and work! (and the occassional dairy queen blizzard!)
