Gonna cheat and mash two days into one entry. Tough if you can't deal with it. Saturday started out with a weigh-in and my weight hadn't changed from last Sat's. Still 248 and holding. Which actually isn't bad when you look at what and how I ate on Friday. The potluck always gets me. I try to only eat so much and end up going over board. At the same time I am telling myself I'll just make it up later. Ya right all I can do is try to remember those thoughts next time. I hope I can learn the lessons of the past as I head into the future. (snicker) I don't think I stole that but who knows? So here we go:
Breakfast-Sat/Sun: Both days had the same thing. Oatmeal w/cottage cheese and 20oz of cold water.
No snack either day in the morning
Lunch: Sat lunch after my work out with L. A burrito with an egg mixed with some spinach and quinoa, deli turkey, avocado, cottage cheese and salsa. Also some PoP chips. Sunday lunch was after an hour long bike ride (YAY!) and that was a wrap with spinach, deli turkey, cheese, and a small plate of nachos (I have cheese and chips from the potluck, it just keeps going).
Snack: Not really a snack on Saturday. I helped a friend move some furniture and they offered me a piece of cake that was out of this world. So I guess that qualifies except it wasn't a healthy snack. On top of that I had a Starbucks mini mocha as a quick drink, it was 5.5oz. On Sunday I was cooking for my lunches for the coming week and had some left over. So I had two enchiladas made with chicken topped with cottage cheese. Almost a meal but still considered it a snack. A little bit later I had a V-8 low sodium 5.5oz can.
Dinner: Ok Saturday as usual was weird in the dinner department. Went to a friend's to watch a movie and ended up having Nachos (those again!). Also a croissant sandwich with turkey, ham, cheese, and tizaki sauce. More chips and then some mini tacos, taquitos, a little meat popper, and a couple of other similar type stuff baked in the oven. Not my finest hour but actually almost a typical Sat nite dinner when you look at how it's gone in the past with the DnD group dinners.
So before I get into my Sunday dinner I wanted to talk about the up coming week's lunch's. L was telling me during our workout about a meal she made and it was perfect as I had wanted to do something with chicken. She suggested enchiladas and gave me a pretty good idea of how to make them. I of course made them with my own variation, not because I thought it would be better but because I didn't remember everything. So forgetting a few items I had to improvise and I did. They still turned out fine. I'm hoping anyway since I haven't actually had one yet. Just a variation(see snack above). I made the chicken in the crock pot with salsa and some tomato as I had some left over from previous week's lunches. I then took a big baking dish and layered asparagus on the bottom and then laid the enchiladas on top of the asparagus. Then covered the enchiladas with enchilada sauce from Trader Joe's and on top of that shredded cheese. I baked this at 350 for 30 minutes. I also did my normal yams and beets roasted in the oven. I always pour some olive oil in a gallon zip-loc baggie along with some spices and shake it all up covering everything in oil and spices. Pull out a cookie sheet and set the oven to 400 for 45 minutes flipping them at the 30 minute mark.
So don't feel like dinner yet so to be continued......
So finally felt hungry and had a bowl of cauliflower, quinoa, and cottage cheese. Thought about having a bowl of popcorn but changed my mind. Looks like I'm good for Sunday now.
