An exercise in moderation.

Well team, after the disappointment of a weight gain and my refusal to record it (don't judge), I am happy to say that I did not consume whole pies in desperation. Rather, I stuck to my guns and managed to enjoy some delicious eats without going overboard. Mostly.

Friday night the K-man and I went out for the traditional Wisconsin Lenten staple: fish fry. Most restaurants now offer a baked option, so I went with Parmesan-crusted walleye. It was very good, and I had french fries and a couple spoonfuls of coleslaw. And a Miller Lite.

Saturday I made a fritatta, which actually turned out to be scrambled eggs with veggies and turkey sausage mixed in. Not pretty, but tasty. Saturday night was pizza (buffalo chicken) and I had 2 pieces, with big spinach and tomato salad with fat free ranch dressing. It was a good combo, and I didn't feel deprived of pizza.

Today, Sunday, we went out for Mexican food for lunch (my parents were in town), and I had 3 chicken tacos on corn tortillas. I also had a taste of the nacho appetizer, and a Dos Equis Amber. So, despite 3 meals this weekend that I didn't cook for myself, I think I did respectably. I am finding though, that having the points change over on Friday means that I used many of my Allowance points already. I will have to earn some with exercise this week.

I made cookies today. They have tons of healthy ingredients - oats, flaxseed, whole wheat flour, cherries, walnuts.

I also went grocery shopping
Some of my loot: turkey, whole wheat wraps, oranges, peppers, spinach, pinto beans, olive oil, frozen shrimp. I made this salad for my lunch tomorrow


Spinach, grape tomatoes, red onion, green pepper, hard-boiled egg, carrot and a little feta, with low-fat balsamic vinaigrette. I'm planning to have it with an orange and 2 york patties, plus 2 cherry cookies and a Greek yogurt for snacks. Then, BodyPump after work.

Have a great Sunday evening!
