Inactive Weekend

This weekend was a lot less active than normal. I was taking a first aid/CPR course for work and it went from 8am to 4:00pm both days. As well, my husband had a work function Saturday evening so we had that to go to. It was a lot of fun but it did mean that there was no chance to work out Saturday evening either.

It also meant that my food intake was a lot less healthy than normal. I did try and snack on vegetables and low-cal stuff during the course and my lunch on Saturday wasn't overly unhealthy but it was eaten at a restaurant and that usually means high sodium in everything. Saturday was a different story, however. It was a buffet and both the main courses and the desserts were amazing (especially the desserts).

Sunday was less good as far as eating. Again, I tried snacking on veggies during the day but lunch was just awful. I tried eating a steak panini at Tim Hortons and it was terrible. I ended up just having a tea and donut for lunch. Then, I made supper at home. This is what I made:

It's hard to tell from the photo but my Sunday dinner was a crepe stuffed with mushrooms, garlic and a little bit of bacon. There was some white wine involved and a bit of fresh Parmesan cheese and some cream. On top, I added a four cheese blend. It's rich and fresh and definitely not low-cal. I know that it, at least, is part of the reason why I didn't end up losing weight this week.

Today, though, I'm back on track again. Back to eating more veggies and trying to cook using as many fresh ingredients as possible. I'm back to portion control when I eat and counting calories. I know that all the exercise in the world can't make up for a bad diet and that if I want to see results that I need to be more careful with what I eat but in reality, there are a number of things I don't eat often or at all:

• Breaded food. I hate breading. I think it's a texture thing, really but in the end, I'm further ahead by not eating food like this
• Fried food. We don't have a deep fryer at the house. I also am not a huge fan of KFC or eating fried chicken as most of it is breaded (see above)
• Pop. I actually physically CANNOT consume pop. I end up with migraines. I don't know if it's just cola or if it is anything carbonated (other than beer) but to be honest, why bother trying to find out. It's a bit like shooting myself in the foot repeatedly to see which type of bullet is least painful
• Sugary candy. While chocolate is something that I crave almost constantly, sugary candies like jujubes, gummies etc are not something that I chow down on. I'd actually rather have a piece of fruit or some popcorn instead

I know that my food choices are not always the best but I do believe they are nowhere near as bad as they could be.
