MIA

I can’t believe I let the entire weekend get away from me. Needless to say (but I’m gonna anyway), I’ve been busy and didn’t hardly have a free moment to sit down in front of the computer to let you guys in on what I’ve been eating these past few days!

With that said, let’s finish up Friday, shall we?

Lunch was a veggie burger with hummus on a wheat bun, a romaine salad with pumpkin seeds parmesan cheese & balsamic dressing and a nice hot tea 🙂

Mid-afternoon I had two Wasa crackers with a Laughing Cow cheese wedge…

I tried as hard as I could to resist, but before I left work, I did up having this much peanut butter (but then I put it away)!

Dinner was a bit of a let down, but I tried to handle it appropriately so I wouldn’t freak out and go eat a whole bunch of things to make up for it. My husband and I had gone to the mall to get some ideas for Christmas (we are procrastinators!) and we ended up eating at the food court. I couldn’t make up my mind first of all and when I finally did, Chick Fil A was out of the salad I wanted so I got soup instead. I ordered the “large” remembering the days when I used to work at the mall and the bowl they gave you was HUGE, but this was it (basically just a little bigger than a cup) and it cost me $5:

But I guess at least I got to eat…I do feel bad complaining. My husband had gone to Tumbleweed so he shared some of his chips & salsa with me but I only ate a few because they were not very good 😦

After walking around the mall, we went to the grocery store and then back home where I had some sugar free / fat free chocolate pudding with reddi-whip in one of my favorite dishes 🙂

That satisfied me for a while but we ended up staying up later, so I had another couple of snacks. First was a small apple with chocolate PB:

And then 1/4 cup of Quaker Oatmeal Squares cereal! I hadn’t had this cereal in forever but it was on sale for $2 at Kroger, so I could not let it go by me 😉

When I sat down and figured it up, I think I had about 1600-1700 calories total, so even with the nighttime snacks, I stayed within my range, plus I got plenty of exercise that day and night with shopping 🙂

Saturday is another story…be back soon.
