Day Forty-six

It's Sunday and the weekend is almost over.  Weekends always present an interesting dilemma when it comes to sticking to your good food choices.  First off during the week you're at work so it's harder to just go to the refrigerator and grab something to eat.  As opposed to the weekend where you're probably at home as much or more than at work during the day.  Plus then factor in hanging with friends and then you have a whole new sand trap.  Most of us drink alcohol and even at friends we still down a drink or two, maybe more depending.  With the alcohol comes hunger (don't know why but it does).  That's all incidental though as the real problem can be time, as in time on your hands if you don't have anything to do but sit at home.  I have figured that out but still during the winter it's hard to not sit at home and play WoW.  It's human nature (at least IMO) as the sky's get darker earlier and the mornings are cold, it's hard to get moving.  Hence my mornings with L and how much they help me get moving.  Not always but more so than without her.  Sorry not preaching just an observation that I see in terms of my life and how it happens.  Here's the story of my day in the battle with food:

Breakfast: Egg fratatta, broccoli and quinoa.  20oz of cold water.  Also cottage cheese and salsa, peach-mango.

Lunch: A wrap containing lentil and veggie with Tzaki sauce.  Baby carrots and hummus.  Single serving of Carmel fudge ice cream.  Pop chips one handful.  One thing I may not have mentioned in the past about the Pop chips is the serving size.  It's 20 chips and each bag has 3 servings.  So a fairly satisfying amount to deal with.

Dinner: Three cheese ravioli mixed with the home made spaghetti sauce and stir fried broccoli, garlic, and onion.  A glass of red wine.  Three mini peppers ( theeerrre back) dipped into hummus.

The wrap for lunch came from Trader Joe's and it was 520 cal.  I always look at the wraps there but am always put off as the serving size is 2 per package and it just makes me mad as no one is going to just eat half of a wrap.  They're not very big (won't say their small but..), except for two.  One is the Lentil wrap I had and another one is a Vietnamese wrap that's quite good.  After lunch the sun came out and so I went for a walk. Ended up being almost an hour long.  Plus before lunch I did laundry and took out the garbage and recycling. I also went grocery shopping at Costco and Trader Joe's, so got in a bit of a walk that way also.  I was trying to over come the weekend (see above).  Yay it's 7:45 and it's just now going dark outside.  Thank you Daylight Savings time!
