Two Week Challenge: Days 5, 6, and 7
I'll be honest. The weekend was not what you would call a success in terms of eating healthy. Friday went well, minus the 4 beers I drank that night. But friends were in town so I had to celebrate! Saturday was a complete failure, the only redeeming moment being that I split a burger and salad at dinner instead of eating the whole burger alone. I promised I would document what I ate so here it is, in all it's glory...
Friday:
Breakfast:
Green Monster Smoothie
Lunch:
Southwestern Salad from Porto's
Conclusions:
This salad is filling and delicious. I don't know much about the dressing which is always the downfall of restaurant salads, but it's a mango vinaigrette that doesn't seem overly oily. But who knows. Normally I get no cheese, but I "forgot" this time. Whoops.
Daily Totals:
Vegetables: at least 3 servings
Fruit: 1 serving
Dinner:
Dinner at a friend's house. Two chicken drumsticks (no skin) with hot sauce. Green beans and a little bit of pasta salad.
Conclusions:
Very happy I didn't overeat as I sometimes do when there is a lot of food lying around.
Saturday:
Breakfast:
Potholder breakfast enchiladas (eggs, cheese, tortillas, and enchilada sauce) and hash browns.
Conclusion:
Kept me full enough that I didn't need lunch! At least one pro! Although I know I need to turn down the hash browns.
Dinner:
This was definitely my cheat meal. We decided to go to Beachwood BBQ with friends and it was glorious. I split a fried green tomato salad and burger with a friend.
Conclusions:
Splitting was a good decision so that I got some greens in from the salad. I didn't eat all the bun on the burger and we didn't get fries! So that's kinda good!
Daily Totals:
Vegetables: 1 serving (sad)
Fruit: 0 servings (very sad.)
Sunday:
Breakfast:
Pan toasted polenta, eggs over easy, and 2 vegetarian sausage. Fresh squeezed grapefruit juice.
Conclusion:
"Pan Toasted" is my way of saying fried. So yet again another fail.
Lunch:
1 chicken skewer at the Farmer's Market. Half a mini cauliflower crust pizza with fresh tomatoes and homemade sauce.
Conclusion:
Not bad. Made the smartest choice I could at the Farmer's Market.
Snacks:
Baked apple chips
Dinner:
Seared Ahi Tuna and Salad with Carrot Ginger Dressing. Feta Garlic Green Beans.
Conclusion:
Finally eating healthy again!
Daily Totals:
Vegetables: at least 3 servings
Fruit: 2 servings
