So, on Monday, I ate out at Red Robin. We shared fried cheese sticks, and I ordered their BLTA with fries and a side of rice --oh yeah--and I ordered a Coke half way through the meal (I figured--I hadn't had one in so long--I will treat myself). Of course I couldn't eat it all, so I boxed it up and had the rest for dinner. I gained 1.6lbs. I couldn't believe it. It had been such a long time since I ate out, I was shocked that I gained so much weight.
But I am here to tell you that I lost the 1.6lbs, and I lost an additional 1lb, to bring me down to 213.8. With weigh in Monday, I am a little nervous because I am supposed to go out to eat on Sunday (Valentine's Day).
I also need to get 2 workouts in by the end of Saturday. This week has definitely been a challenge. I cannot believe that I gained so much by eating out once. Well, that just goes to show you how important eating right really is.
I hope you get your workout in and I hope you are eating healthier. I will talk to you tomorrow. Good Luck.

Hi Deborah, For some reason, I am following you twice??? I tried to change my picture and ended up with two accounts.... Need my hubby to help me on this one. Just wanted to let you know :)
ReplyDeleteTake care.

Yeah, I don't know how difficult it is to become a follower, but several people have told me that they are having difficulties. So, I'm glad you have a husband that can help.
ReplyDeleteI worked out today. I did 47 lengths in the pool in 50 minutes. I am tired- I don't know if I will make it back to the pool (you know the whole 21 day challenge thing). I need to get one more workout by Saturday. So, I figure, if I can go again today, I won't have pressure to do it on Friday or Saturday (given their reduced pool time).
ReplyDeleteGot my workout in...didn't want to but went anyway. Be careful on Sunday Deborah!
ReplyDeleteI know. I am hopefully going to have a steak. I have been craving one for a long time.
ReplyDeleteDidn't get to do my workout because wasn't home all day--except to eat dinner.
ReplyDeleteWhen eating out, avoid sour cream in dishes, avoid fried foods and avoid vegetables "sauteed" because they're fried in oil/butter. Instead order baked/roasted vegetables and broiled meat. If eating a salad avoid the creamy dressings, and use dressing a little at a time on your salad.
Congrats to both of you, mspeck and Deborah! You got your workouts in.
ReplyDeleteThanks Monica--and thanks for the heads up on eating out. Sorry you didn't get your workout in--it happens sometimes.
