Survived Weekend Wedding!
Hi There,
Back from a weekend out of town where I attended a friend's wedding, with dh and 2 kiddies along for the very looong ride (about 5 hr drive, but many stops along the way). I think I did okay??? But tomorrow morniing weigh-in will determine if any damage has been done. :rolleyes: On the way there...we stopped at a Wendy's...so had some salad....did a later stop, I was hungry, restaurant closing...had decaf coffee and about 1/3 cup of kiddie's frozen yogurt (was actually too sweet!). Breakfast and lunch were basically okay (eggs, bacon & roast chicken & salad)....and then time for the wedding! GOOD STUFF: I stuck to club soda most of the evening, with a sip of punch, and some of dh's diet pepsi. The buffet was pretty good: I avoided all the pasta, macaroni, potato, rice salads, bread, rolls and potates. ....AND STUCK TO: roast beef, roast chicken, a tablespoon of peas (no other hot veggies!)....had cut up cauliflower, celery, brocolli, cucumber w/ranch dip, green salad and devilled eggs! :yay: :yay: Also had about 1/2 cup of fresh fruit salad...and 1/2 small slice of wedding cake. Decaf and cream as well. I did move my body alot and danced the night away so I'm sure I did burn some calories. :Party: :Party: :Party: This morning....brunch at the hotel (more roast beef, salad, bacon, sausage, eggs benedict w/out the english muffin, and small slice of melon). Dinner on the road was rib eye steak and salad (and a few bites of a dinner roll - hot w/butter - and yes it TASTED GREAT!). So all in all IT CAN BE DONE!...I avoided all the other cakes, mousses, jellos, pastries and I know I feel better for it. I also declined the wine that came with the wedding dinner...and stuck to the soda or water. Hope I have good news this week with lbs or inches lost! :wiggle: Froufie :roll: |
It sounds like you did an awfully good job of avoiding most temptations!!! It's hard travelling with kids, and weddings, etc. can be a minefield. It sounds like you have a healthy attitude, and am REALLY happy to see this wasn't a " beating yourself up for a couple of tiny infractions" post! I used to be SO upset with myself for letting ANY sugar past my lips...
Again, good job. |
Hi Froufie!
sounds like you did pretty well with all those temptations around you. Must have felt even better controlling what you put into your mouth and not having the carb :devil: take over. |
