weekend food

saturday
saturday i wasn't TOO bad, although there is still not enough in the way of activity here to be remotely reasonable for aanyone, let alone a person trying to lose some weight!

food log:

• breakfast: 1 egg on sunflower toast AND oatmeal--i was starving for some reason--and tea, of course
• lunch: lunch at neomonde--got a sampling of chicken dishes, some majadra, and some cabbage
• dinner: went out with friends to the irregardless cafe, where it was VERY hard to find something healthy. i did the best i could and ordered a caesar salad and a "small plate" surf and turf that was a tiny steak with 3 shrimp, some roasted potatoes (i ate a few but not all), and some green beans--the bad things were the potatoes and the butter that was unexpectedly melting on my steak. and well--i had about 5 glasses of wine. *cringe*
• snacks/other: morning snack was a piece of toast, no afternoon snack--my lunch was too big
• desserts/sweets: a chocolate martini (yes--after the 5 glasses of wine)

activities: did a little dancing, but not enough to count as a real activity

sunday
sunday. hungover superbowl sunday. SLACKER sunday. let's just say, i declared it a sunday of fuckit. a phase 3 splurge. here's what i can remember:

food log:

• breakfast: a piece of toast, and then i thit the breakfast bar at whole foods: some scrambled eggs, 3 pieces of bacon, 1 piece of link sausage, a whole wheat blueberry pancake, a little bit of quiche, and some potato latkes--i ALMOST snapped and ate a muffin, but i walked away. and of course there was tea. a LOT of tea. with whole milk.
• lunch: a phase two lunch of tuna salad toasted on whole wheat sunflower bread with some LF cheddar
• dinner: okk--here's where it gets ugly. we went to a superbowl party. i made mac and cheese for it--from scratch, so i know exactly how bad it was with it's 3 kinds of cheese, whole quart of whole milk, butter, and semolina-flour pasta. so i had some of that, some crab dip, some taco soup, a couple of phyllo dough and pepperoni pinwheel things, some cilantro jalapeno hummus with w.w. crackers, some HORRIBLE but fabulous little chocolate footballs made of cocoa krispies and dark chocolate. i THINK that's everything, but who knows--i could be leaving something out of the feeding frenzy. the good things are a) i didn't have any alcohol in spite of the HUGE urge to drink a bloody mary and then a beer, b) i sisn't eat ALL the crap i wanted to, and c) i quit eating like a madwoman when i was actually full--miracle.
• snacks/other: see dinner
• desserts/sweets: also see dinner

activities: um--see dinner for that too.

whew--it's kind of tough to admit to the world that i had such a day of completely unhealthy eating. but there it is--and it would show on my body even if my mouth lied about it if i started eating that way every day (again). one day like that once in a while isn't going to kill me, but man--it's so easy to jump on the slippery slope and just fall totally off the healthy eating bandwagon. i am not letting that happen. but wow--reading that whole list makes me a tiny bit ill now that i am past it.

ps--i am backdating this post so things will appear in order. i am playing catch-up due to having been too damned busy to post.
