Welcome to week 2 of my challenge!
The weekend proved to be a big obstacle. Saturday during the day was very easy because I was at work and able to keep on my regular schedule. After work I picked up my step-daughter, took her for birthday manicures, and then we met up with my husband for her birthday dinner. We wanted her to pick the restaurant, since after all it’s her birthday. She chose Macaroni Grill. I knew from the start that it could pose a challenge because I looooooove pasta, but I wanted to be good so I veered away from that portion of the menu. However, so many of the dishes have pasta of some sort and I really wasn’t in the mood for chicken or steak since I can make that at home and not pay $18/plate. I thought I had decided upon a dish until I noticed the calorie contents next to them. I can’t remember my first choice, but I do remember that it had about 1100 calories in it. Thanks, but no thanks! I opted for a Caesar salad and added shrimp. First off, yeah, I know, Caesar dressing isn’t healthy, but remember I don’t really care when it comes to fat. Second, don’t order shrimp to add to a salad because it was a total rip off – $4 to add shrimp and I only got 4 shrimp. I ended up coming home and making some beef strips so that I could get in more protein. The next morning I was up about .8lbs which kinda sucked.
Next comes Sunday. I always wake up earlier than my family so I spent the first couple of hours in my normal breakfast routine catching up on all my trashy reality shows on DVR. I even made pancakes when the other two woke up and didn’t so much as even taste it. Then come the temptations. First it was lunch. My husband wanted taco bell so the two of them went and picked it up and brought it home. We all sat at the table and while they ate tacos, gorditos and chalupas I sat drooling, staring and quietly ate my tuna salad. Later that night we met up with friends for a BBQ – we brought steaks and asparagus so I don’t feel bad there. However, after dinner the family wanted ice cream. ICE CREAM! I dropped them off and went to fill up my car with gas so I didn’t even step foot inside because I knew I would have ordered something. They brought their ice cream home and I made a chocolate peanut butter protein shake. I thought I did a pretty good job, although this morning I was up another .8lbs. GRRRR!!!
That’s ok, because at the end of the week I still ended up down 7lbs from my starting weight. Today was totally on point, so here’s what I got:
