Geezy Doodles

Oh geezy doodles I'm tired!  (I don't know why I put it that way.  I think I just coined a new Brandyism.)

My weekend food choices were pretty good with a little really bad thrown in the mix. :o)  Here's a quick rundown:

Thursday-
had the usual breakfast
lunch at Qdoba with the S2J girls.  I did good and had a salad with black beans, salsa roja, and chicken
I don't remember dinner but I think I fixed some chicken and veggies.  I know it was healthy because I would remember it if it was bad.

  ...I am slowly going crazy, one, two three, four, five, six, switch.....

Friday-
the usual breakfast
lunch at McDs with my baby boy.  I had the Southwest Chicken salad.  It has corn and tortilla strips on it (probably equivalent to 2 tortilla chips) so, slightly not SoBeach approved but still healthy and very good!

Friday night dinner is where it starts to fall apart for the weekend. 

We went to our church's fall festival and they were serving fried chicken, rolls, potato salad, candy apples, and Twinkies.  They also had funnel cakes for sale.  I successfully avoided all but 1/4th of a twinkie.  I was really drooling over the funnel cakes though! When we left, we went to a new chinese place close to church and I had Kung Pao chicken with no carrots.  It was not white meat chicken but still, a better choice than fried chicken.  I avoided the rice and egg rolls which is a huge accomplishment for me.

Bad food total for the weekend: 1/4 a twinkie.

Saturday-
 I had the usual breakfast and then went to get some awesome deals at Baby Mania. I brought pistachios as a snack because I knew I would want one after all of that intense deal finding.
After I got home, I rushed around a bit and had to head out to a baby shower about 1 hour away.  There really was nothing in the house that I could eat in a hurry and I didn't have any time so, I would just have to stop for lunch on the way.  I made a good choice and avoided the drive thrus.  I got a fresh salad with chicken from QT and a bag of cashews and I ate the salad piece by piece like finger food while I drove.  Thankfully, I like dry salad ingredients.  I went to the baby shower prepared to avoid the food and cake.  I took a SF pudding with me (I did not eat it).  I managed to avoid the pasta and other unapproved foods on the buffet because I was full.  Thank you QT for carrying good salads.  I was all geared up to avoid the cake.  But they had sugar free cupcakes.  Hmmm...my brain reasoned...it has flour but, it doesn't have sugar...it's not near as bad as the regular cupcakes....you can have one.  Enter my well meaning mother who did not know what was going on in my head.  "Sugar free is not as bad as the regular ones.  I don't think it will hurt to have one of those."  Yes!  I'm sold!  I'll have a sugar free cupcake please.  Mmmm...that tasted good...oh, wait..excuse me...I need to go use that restroom.  Yes, apparently my body decided to reject the cupcake.  I think my body was insulted that I would have a cupcake but not give it the real thing.  Yeah, that's it.
Dinner was chicken and black beans that my dear sweet hubby fixed while I had a complete bratty fit over nothing.  My dear sweet hubby.  Oh how I love him! I have now been visited by the lady fairy and am craving pizza. 

.....Crazy going slowly am I, six, five, four, three, two, one, switch...

I give in to temptation and eat one of the cupcakes I brought home for Josh and Levi.  It really was too sweet after two bites and made me wanna barf. :o(

Bad food count for the weekend: 1/4 twinkie, SF cupcake, regular cupcake.

Sunday-
I overslept and didn't have time for breakfast.  This is the first day I have missed breakfast.
So hungry...drank some coffee and chewed gum to tamp down cravings.  Thankfully, I sat in first service so, I had no excuse to go to the breakfast room after choir.
Lunch- I picked up lunch for us on the way home from church because we were in a hurry.  I had a Southwest Chicken Salad from McDs and a cup of chili from Steak n Shake.  Normally, it would have just been the salad but, I was really hungry since I missed breakfast.
Dinner-We were going to go to O'Charley's in Fenton but, we got some horrible service and that didn't work out.  Ended up at Qdoba.  I'm weak.  I could not stomach one more salad!!  I had the queso burrito.  Yes, it had queso cheese, white rice, and a flour tortilla.  It was tasty too.  Oh lady fairy, why do you have to jack around with my appetite?!!  After my carb a thon at Qdoba I was having mad cravings for ice cream.  I came home and had SF pudding with peanuts.  Before bed, I found a chocolate bar from the baby shower in my purse (I don't know why I even brought it home!).  I ate it.  ....bad to the bone...bbbbbbad...bbbbbad..

Bad food count for the weekend: 1/4 a twinkie, SF cupcake, regular cupcake, queso burrito, chocolate bar.

Thankfully, today is a whole new day!
 .....This is a new day, and I have a new life.  I'm walking in freedom, from the inside.  It's my beginning, a brand new way of living.  I'm heading the right way.  Because of You I say, this is a new day....
Today was WEIGH IN DAY!!  I got on the scale this morning and....drum roll please....I lost 6 lbs!!!! Yay!!  Maybe I can do this thing! :o)  Despite a few bad choices last week, I feel like I did well overall.  The amount of bad stuff I ate for the whole week, before I would sometimes eat in just one day.
Today's choices were good ones.
Breakfast was the usual
Lunch was some yummy lentil soup by Progresso
snacks were pistachios and peanut butter
Dinner- I made Thai spiced pork tenderloin and baked eggplant, asparagus, and bell peppers.  It was yummy and I discovered that I like asparagus.  Eggplant is still gross.
Dessert- SF choc. pudding and peanuts.

Oh, one more thing before I go.  My handsome hubby has decided he wants to do South Beach with me.  He started his phase one today.

Now, I'm so tired, I'm about to passsssssssssssssssssssssss....sorry, dozed off...about to pass out.  Good night and veggie dreams to you all.
