Week 3, Day 5

gah! what a terrible WW weekend!! I really, really fell off the wagon, although I struggled mightily to stay on in the beginning. Once I fell off though, it was like I had a huge "WTF" moment and just stuffed my face. :-( so disappointing.

Our flight to L.A. was early Thursday morning. I prepared a bunch of healthy snacks b/c I have a tendency to snack with I'm bored. I told J that I wanted to leave a little earlier for the airport b/c I wanted to have enough time to browse the bookstore at the airport to buy a book for the flight.

We were flying AirTran and they don't have TVs or movies on board... even for a 6 hr flight! gah!

But of course J wouldn't wake up, the satellite parking shuttle was super late and we got stuck in the slow check-in lane so we got to our gate barely in the nick of time. No time to buy a book! Grrrrrr. so annoying.

Anyway, my WW weekend started off well, but progressively got worse. ::::sigh:::: Here's what I can recall eating:

Thursday:
breakfast:
2 slices wheat toast w/1Tb peanut butter (3 pts)
snacks on the plane:
1 bag microwave popcorn (1 pt)
10 baby carrots (0 pts)
1 90-calorie bag of chocolate-drizzled rice cakes (2 or 3 pts)
1 small bag of AirTran pretzels (? pts)
1 bite of John's Quizno's sub (which had copious amounts of a mayonnaise-like sauce) (? pts)
lunch:
1 large slice of thin crust (NY-style) pizza
1 small garden salad with balsamic vinaigrette
dinner:
1 cup-ish brown rice
1 cup-ish Japanese chicken curry
2 orange wedges

see? not so bad, right? I would guess 25-ish points.

Friday:
breakfast:
1 cup coffee with soy milk
lunch:
3 slices (maybe 4) pizza (thin crust with sauce, cheese, shrimp, roasted peppers)
2 bites of John's linguini with white clam sauce
snack:
Pinkberry pomegranate-flavored fro yo with mochi and pomegranate seeds
dinner:
2 pieces fried chicken (wing and half breast - but it was fried in olive oil. does that count for "good oil"? I know, I'm reaching here...)
4-5 pieces teriyaki chicken wings
1/2 c ddukbokki (Korean spicy rice cake dish)

Saturday:
breakfast
1 cup coffee with non-dairy creamer
1 brownie-sized dduk (Korean rice cake)
lunch:
1/2 large bowl Tom Yum noodles
2 bites of fried banana "eggroll"
dinner:
2 small crab cakes (cocktail hr at the wedding)
1 small salad (wedding dinner)
bacon-wrapped filet mignon (wedding dinner)
scalloped potatoes - very buttery and cheesey (wedding dinner)
veggies (wedding dinner)
2 slices of french bread and butter (wedding dinner. I'm such a sucker for bread)
1 slice + 1 extra bite (from J) wedding cake - carrot cake with cream cheese frosting
1 cup coffee with half-and-half (they didn't have skim :-( )
snacks:
3 bites ddukbokki (at the post-reception party)
1 small bowl of korean fish cake soup (at the post-reception)
and as if all that food wasn't enough...
2nd dinner:
1 In-N-Out burger (no cheese though. do I get a pat on the back for that?)
2 handfuls Chex Mix

points? too many to count. :-(

Sunday:
breakfast:
coffee with half-and-half
1 bite butter croissant
4 handfuls "potato skins" chips (so unnecessary)
lunch:
chinese chicken salad with fat-free dressing (at the airport. I tried to be good to make up for al the bad, but this salad sucked big time)
2 fried chicken tenders, borrowed from John's meal (b/c my salad sucked and I'd already had the taste of fried food on my palate from the weekend and I had no self-control)
snack:
1 small bag of pretzels (on the plane)
dinner:
1/2 turkey club sandwich (split a whole sandwich with J on the plane)
1 small gingerbread cookie (on the plane)
snack:
2 clementines (when I got home)

Monday (took the day off to recuperate):
breakfast:
slept in until noon, so no breakfast
lunch:
3 slices pizza (I really need to lay off the pizza, but there's a new place in our neighborhood that got rave reviews that J wanted to try out. ::::sigh:::: it was some GOOD pizza!) (18 pts? ACK!)
1 baked chicken drummette (3 pts)
1 large garden salad with balsamic vinegar (I think veggies with vinegar is 0 pts)
snack:
1 jello dk chocolate pudding cup (1 pt)
2 clementines (1 pt)
dinner:
skipped dinner. wasn't hungry after eating lunch at 3pm

that brings us to today, Tuesday:
breakfast:
1 cup coffee with non-dairy creamer (1 pt)
1 low-cal english muffin, toasted with 1/2 tb peanut butter and 1/2 tb margarine (2 pts)
lunch:
Lean Cuisine spaghetti and meatballs (5 pts)
8 baby carrots (0 pts)
1 clementine (0.5 pt)
Jello pudding cup (1 pt)
snack:
94% fat free microwave popcorn (1 pt)


Only 2 more days until my weigh-in. eeeek. I'm scared to see what I weigh. I'll weigh myself tomorrow morning and report back. scared to see....

edited to add: lunch and snack. I had planned on making the WW meatloaf recipe (5 pts) for dinner tonight, but now I've been asked to go to dinner with some colleagues from out-of-town. Original plan was to go to a sports bar (checked on-line and the only remotely healthy item is the rotisserie chicken) but then they changed it to a BBQ joint (ACK! nothing healthy at all!)... I'm going to try to talk them into going to a local brewery that has some salads that will work with my diet.
