What didn’t I eat is the appropriate question…

I was only gone Friday and Saturday night, but the weekend did revolve around fun, not so good for you foods.  I did make sure I started Saturday and Sunday right with a healthy breakfast.  Both days I had oatmeal with fresh fruit and black coffee.  I think doing that gives you a little advantage over the rest of the days bad food.  It makes you feel better, anyway.  Friday night we had Crawfish  Etouffee’ and Italian Creme Cake! For lunch on Saturday I didn’t do so bad  plus Matt and I went for about a 2 mile run on the Sea Wall in Port Arthur.  It was awesome! Hot and humid as hell, but I am a glutton for punishment 🙂 I loved it! OK,  so for lunch on Saturday I had a  roast beef and cheese sandwich at the camp on a whole wheat bun with mustard and a diet coke~  not too bad. Later in the day I had a pan of crawfish, half of a congo square (chocolate brownie thing my Aunt Debbie makes…They are heavenly!) A pretty big piece of wedding cake and a ton water.  Sunday for lunch we went out to the Pine Tree Lodge on Taylors Bayou where I had fried stuff…  Catfish,shrimp, okra, hush-puppies and  oysters.  After lunch I had another piece of Italian Creme Cake 🙂  We got home Sunday just in time for dinner and we ate at Subway.  I brought it all home with a 6 inch Turkey sub, REAL Lay’s Potato Chips and a cookie! I am officially back on track this morning.  I am going to work out here in a bit then I am gonna hit up the grocery store for lots of healthy food items! I had a ton of fun and enjoyed every bit of  junky food I ate.  I will say that it is only good while i  am  are eating it making me  feel bloated and sluggish afterwards.  I do enjoy our healthy eating lifestyle.

Snack:

Today my snack was sort of like an early lunch.  I was  babysitting and my window of opportunity for eating was around 11:30am. I wasn’t real hungry at that time but knew I needed to take advantage of the time to eat or else I would find myself starving soon thereafter. I worked out once I got home and ate a real lunch after that,  later in the day. You don’t want to  eat this much for a snack unless you are fueling for a hard workout or in a situation as I was. Anywho, here it is:

I didn’t really have a cheat meal this week, but I ate a few things over the week that were  treats. For example:  Tortilla chips at Maria Maria(they were pretty greasy and really salty…mmm yummy goodness 🙂 B, I did only have a few! The Kerbey Lane Pancakes are not the best choice even though I made them at home.  They just do not have much nutritional value.  Again, my serving size was pretty small. I had three glasses of wine Saturday night and although that is not a lot to have, especially if you have not had a drink all week, but for me that is unusual because I normally don’t drink at all.  You will see I do every now and then.  Lastly, I probably could have had less ice cream tonight! It’s all good though, because I am waking up tomorrow with a healthy menu planned and my exercise routine lined up for the week and that is all that matters,  that goes for you or for me.  I want to reiterate my thoughts on splurging.  Splurges happen.  Shit happens, life happens.  Sometimes you will not feel like working out- that’s OK.  Start over the next day.  Every now and then you might have more than one cheat meal in a week.  No worries, start over at your next meal.  The key is moderation and no regrets! Beating yourself up for screwing up does not fix the mistake. Actually, a lot of the times feeling sorry for yourself or mad at yourself starts a spiral of bad decisions.  The best  thing that you can do is start over.   Get up and move on.  What are your thoughts? How do you deal with set backs?  Share your stories here to help others… Love y’all!
