Road Trip!!!

So we hit the road on Saturday for our annual road trip with the boys.  I was a bit nervous about my eating. I feel like ALL I ever think about is eating. You know what I'm talking about....so anyway. I ate breakfast and lunch at home, so that helped.  Then we stopped at McD's on the way and I drank a shake while everyone else had a snack. We went to a movie that night and ate dinner at the mall food court.  I was able to find a really good, very fresh grilled chicken salad.  I got the fat free ranch dressing and just barely dipped my fork in for the taste.  I don't know about you, but I can't eat a salad dry.

On Sunday, we got up, had the standard free breakfast (which had EVERYTHING I needed...I was shocked), lounged in the room for a bit, then checked out around noon.  Since we couldn't check into Great Wolf lodge until 1:00, we stopped for lunch.  Then we hit the park.  Had a great time, but it's always good to get back home and back to a normal routine.

Wow!  This will definitely be a "before" pic of me.  Yikes!

I didn't track on My Fitness Pal for Saturday - Monday, but I really watched what I ate and had NO breads or sweets.  Here's my stats:

Weight:  288 (Saturday morning before we left)
Exercise:  We walked the Grapevine mall for at LEAST 20 minutes looking for something to eat on Saturday and I walked for 20 minutes with my boys on Monday night.

Breakfast:  1 hardboiled egg, 1 piece of toast with spray butter, 1 small apple, 1 glass of crystal light
Lunch:       Chili made with ground turkey, beef broth and diced tomatoes

Dinner:      Grilled chicken salad with cucumbers and 1/4 of the 40 calorie package of fat free ranch dressing

Sunday, 6/30/2013

Breakfast:  1 hardboiled egg, 1 piece of bread, coffee with half and half, water
Lunch:       Cheddar's parmesan-encrusted sirloin with wedge salad (you must try this...it was aMAHzing.  I didn't eat it all.  It was 6 oz, so I left about 2 oz. on the plate, which is something I've really been working on.  I was raised as a 'clean-your-plate kid.)
Dinner:       4 oz. of prime rib, salad with fat free vinaigrette dressing.
Snacks:      2 protein shakes (I'm having a hard time getting all 3 shakes in, but I'm not hungry so I'm not worrying too much about it)

Monday, 7/1/2013

Breakfast:   Omelet with spinach, mushrooms and ham (OMGSOGOOD!!), coffee, water
Lunch:         Cracker Barrel chicken tenderloins, green beans.  NO rolls.  I consider that a personal accomplishment, for sure!
Dinner:        Leftover over turkey chili
Snacks:       2 protein shakes
