Alright it's Friday and the weekend has begun. Friday's are always interesting for me as I want to celebrate the end of the work week (I have no problem with work it's just great that I have two days off). How do I celebrate the end of the work week? With food of course, how else? I do it every Friday wither it's payday or not. Now most people celebrate Friday when it's payday but not me. For me every Friday is payday, at least in my mind it is. I have changed how and where I celebrate by not going to KFC anymore. I was going to KFC every Friday as that was my treat. Now I have changed that to Subway and limited myself to a 6" sub ( even when like today where they tempted me with a $5 for a foot long ) which I get on wheat and no cheese and lots of veggie in addition to meat. I also walk to the Subway restaurant, it's about two blocks. Sure not far but in the past I would have probably driven there or went someplace further away and maybe not quite as good for you. I don't make it a meal for $.50 more and I don't get a soda. I drink water with my lunch.
This weekend will be a wash as I have my game with friends and food on Sat nite and then on Sunday it's the Superbowl. I already know there will be chili and lots of bad stuff to eat. I'm just going to try to at least be aware of what I'm eating even though I'm sure I will over do it. It just means that I will need to make sure I get as much exercise in the next week as possible to make up for Sunday. Saturday morning is get on the scales day so we will see if I've lost any weight. My pants and shirts are fitting better and I got a new work shirt and can't wait to wear it. I tried it on this morning and I need to drop a few more inches off my belly and then it will look great. More motivation.
Here's food for Friday:
Breakfast: As I've said breakfast doesn't really change other than possibly the meat. This week has been a mix of roast beef(Mon/Tues), canadian bacon (Weds/Thur), and this morning I had a veggie patty. So egg/thin bun/avocado/mustard/tomato/veggie patty. Banana & 20oz of cold water.
Snack: Yogurt/almonds
Lunch: Subway-6" roast beef w/avocado and all veggies on wheat with yellow mustard.
no afternoon snack
Dinner: Ok this is always a challenge as on Friday evenings I meet up with friends on line for a session of WoW. We start right after I get off work so for me not much time to eat. I have done the KFC thing and I have picked up a pizza, I have put finger food type stuff in the oven and snacked on egg rolls and pot stickers. So I have tried to change that. Tonite I made a large salad with cauliflower, mini peppers ;) and cottage cheese along with a chicken patty and a salmon patty chopped up and mixed in the salad. Then about three hours later I cut up a pear and a banana and had that as a late night snack. I also drank this very odd Japanese plum wine drink. It was probably only about 4oz or 5 not quite sure. Weird stuff.
Well that's it, I'm starting to fall asleep here so the Sat work out is just around the corner and I am off to bed.
