Saturday day six

Well here's the word on my first Saturday in the new regime.  Not great but still not as bad as it has been, at least I feel like I did better than I have in the past.  I did my Sat personal trainer work out and she worked me good so we'll see how I feel on Sunday.  As I said in the previous post Saturday's are trouble as I get together with a group of friends and it's grazing at the food trough for 3-4 hours.  Tonite it was burgers, chips and M&M's.  So with no apologizes here's my Saturday food log:

Breakfast: on Sat I change it up and have been eating a bowl of oatmeal that consists of oatmeal and a tablespoon or two of honey.  Today I tried something a bit different in my oatmeal, cottage cheese.  I read where it adds some protein and creaminess.  So I tried it and I like it so that will be an addition.  And my 20oz of cold water.

An hour of concentrated work with L my personal trainer.  We did a bunch of step ups followed by upper body w/weights and then lunges followed by squats across the floor among other types of workout torture.  I love it!

I had a Gatorade drink that I read about to try but won't be continuing to buy it as it wasn't the best tasting and water is free.

After the workout I went for my after work out meal: Down the street from the gym is a small Mexican lunch counter type place.  Basically like a taco truck but inside.  I had three soft tacos with Asada (beef) and water.  Very good and pretty much just meat, chopped onions and cilantro.  So that was essentially lunch, oh I almost forgot.  They gave me chips and salsa also.  I tried not to eat to many chips but no luck.  I didn't eat every one though but almost.  Next time I will get it to go and so avoid the chip trap.

Snack: about three hours later I had a Greek yogurt.

Dinner: Ok here we go.  When I got to my friends house they had the Foreman grille's out and the offerings were beef burgers or turkey burgers.  I had picked up some coleslaw at Hagens along with some baked chips.  Others had picked up some bags of chips also.  So I had two burgers, one with a jalapeno beef burger and a turkey burger, both burgers had a mustard condiment with cheese, avocado, and tomato.  I also had some coleslaw and chips.  I ended up having more chips and more chips.  It's to hard to quantify the amount of chips, so let's just say I had more than I should have but that's the way it goes.  Especially in that type of environment  Then the M&M's came out, two big bowls, so no limit to how many you could have.  I remember reading an article where they gauged how many of a type of candy equaled 100 calories and if I remember right M&M's were about 20-25.  Well I figure I hit the 2-300 mark.  Not proud of that, just trying to keep it honest.  Then I found the Rice Crispy treats and had one of those.  I was finally done for the evening.
I believe in cheat meals so that was my cheat meal.  Which means that I have to be good the rest of the weekend and get in the work outs the rest of the week.  I've been skipping Thursday's and Fridays,but I have stuff on Friday.So it looks like Thursday needs to be added into the work out schedule on my part.

So there you go, my Saturday meal log.  Nothing to write home about and I'm sure L will have something to say (maybe not but....).  I'm committed to making this work worth it so will have to get a bit more serious about this food thing.  I know that I can eat what I like, I just have to adjust how much I eat and make sure I'm getting exercise every day or close to it.
