Not too shabby.

So I'm back from the trip and actually did ok. I didn't touch a drop of booze last night, which really made a difference. I had to estimate a lot of stuff for dinner though, so I ended up going over by a few points. I was really hoping to avoid that since I'm trying to stick to the Wendie plan without any alterations, but since I ran that morning, I guess I won't beat myself up over it too much. We grilled out, so I stuck to a bunless burger, corn, grilled veggies and fruit. My uncle kept wanting to make me a drink, so I kept blowing him off until I finally said "No, I'm saving up for cake," which was true. The ol' fat kid in me will take cake over booze any day. And that's exactly how I planned my evening, haha.

This morning we actually went out to breakfast instead of eating at my grandma's, so that kinda screwed me over a bit too, in the sense that I couldn't eat the stuff that I brought along as planned. Still kept it healthy though, with oatmeal and a fruit plate, but again, I had to estimate the oatmeal. I haaaate estimating stuff, but oh well. I probably overestimated points, both last night and this morning, but I feel better doing it that way, and not the other way around.

FOOD:

breakfast:
oatmeal- 5
fruit- 4

lunch:
special k cereal- 1

snack:
apple- 1
PB2- 1

dinner:
wahoo's shrimp burrito w/ wet sauce- 13

post-dinner:
ww smart ones cookie dough sundae- 3
tart honey yogurt- 4
onion ring- 1
french toast (light bread w/ egg beaters)- 2
light syrup- 2

total points used: 37/37 (Wendie Plan)
activity points: day off
WAPs: 14/35 remaining

I must admit, I'm looking forward to this big-point day. Still not sure what dinner will be, but I wanna keep it semi-healthy, like either a Wahoo's burrito or some Kashi pizza and then... something ice cream-y... We'll see.

EXERCISE:

Yeaaahhh... Not sure that's gonna happen today. I'm already tired just thinking of tomorrow; getting up at 5am to run, work, brief break at home and then martial arts class until 7:15 pm. I didn't sleep well last night and long car rides make me lazy. Yes, these are lame excuses, but when I think about how much I've been busting my ass lately, I guess I just don't care today, haha. Oh well. I'm pretty sure working out 5 days this week instead of six won't kill me.

Getting ready to head down to my grandparents' this afternoon. Since I'm determined to stay on the Wendie Plan while I'm gone, I'm basically going to bank as many points as I can beforehand. Yes, I will probably be starving by the time food is ready to be served (it's a surprise party for my grandpa), but that's something I'll just have to deal with. When I try to eat normal/healthy before a social outing with food, it backfires. I try to keep myself full and use up normal amounts of points, but then I end up going over with higher-point food later anyway. I don't know. I'll just feel better going to the party with more points than less. That's all I'm trying to say, heh.

FOOD:

I made a breakfast burrito and cut it in half. I've had one half so far and will eat the other half before we leave. It's packed with a lot of protein and fiber, so I think it should hold me over pretty well.

breakfast/lunch:
smart wrap tortilla- 1
2 egg beaters- 1
boca sausage- 1
f.f. shredded cheese- 1

afternoon snacks (while on the road):
protein water- 0
baby carrots- 0

dinner:
burger patty- 7
corn- 2
1/4 c. potato salad- 2
fruit- 2
veggies- 0

post-dinner:
cake- 7
cashews- 1

total points used: 26/23 (Wendie Plan)
activity points: 45 min. run- 5
net points: 23
WAPs: 30/35 remaining

I'm taking a Lightfull smoothie, an apple and some Special K Protein Plus cereal with me for breakfast tomorrow. Because breakfast at grandma's will more than likely be fried eggs, bacon, fried potatoes and toast slathered in butter. No thanks. Tomorrow is one of my high-point days on the Wendie plan, but I want to wait until I'm home with Doug and order a pizza or something. Something good that we've been wanting for a while. We'll see...


EXERCISE:

Went for a morning run on the trail this morning. It was nice. That's about all.
