On Friday night we went out to Shogun, a Japanese Steak House, with my family to celebrate my sister and brother in-laws birthdays. For starters I had a small salad, soup, fried rice, fried vegetable (carrots, brocoli, onion and zucchini) and for my main dish I had the scallops, witch where heavenly. I also caught 2two of the three shrimp the cook flipped to me. It was a great meal but judging by all the butter he used not the healthiest. LOL
On Saturday we spent the day in Omaha to spend the day with some friends of ours. We met them for lunch at a Petrow's and I had the Roast Beef Casserole special. It was great and probably not terrible for me except for the large chocolate malt I had with it. (I'm a sucker for a good malt) Then back at their house I munched on Cheetos and cookies in the afternoon. For supper I had three hotdogs and a hamburger. I should have backed off on a hot dog but they were Nathan's hotdogs so I didn't. I didn't get close to my eight cups of water in on Saturday but I also didn't drink any pop, we had orange fruit punch and a few beers instead. I know I had malts, beers and sugary drinks but my problem is once I start drink pop I can't stop so the longer I can stay 100% away from it the better.
While we were in Omaha we stoped at Nebraska Furniture Mart and bought a Recumbent Bike so we can exercise at home more. They were out of stock so it will be at least a month before we get it but we are very excited about it.
On Sunday we ran to the store and grabbed some McDonalds on the way back home. I was pretty happy with my self here. I ended up having a McDouble, ten McChicken Nuggets and a large fry. (There was a time not so long ago I would have had tw or three McDoubles instead of just one.
In the afternoon broke down and had a bag of popcorn. but I also got down a few glasses of water.
Sunday evening we made backed chicken with a nacho sauce on it. I had a chicken breast and a half. We also made a bag of Uncle Ben's Spanish rice. Then I didn't have another thing to eat all night. (Gold Star for Sunday Night)
Try lowering your carb intake. With the new Weight Watchers program that I am on they have us calculate carbs as part of the program. I notice that the less carbs I eat the less I crave them. Try and be more aware of your carbs and see if it helps you. Let me know. There must be a site somewhere on line that tells you how many carbs you should have a day.
ReplyDeleteNow I got myself curious... I think I will check that out for myself. Have a great week!!
