LOL...My title comes because I looked at my last entry that was all about healthy foods. It was on July 14th. I can't remember if I posted lunch. Which was Pan seared salmon cooked in Sunflower oil on the skin side. I flipped it for 1 minute to sear the top an minimize any oils and some Roasted Veggies. I cut up a whole brocolli crown, cauliflower, red pepper, green and yellow squash, onions, some sunflower oil and italian seasonings. That will make plenty for the week. the other part that is missing is the evening addition 2 "servings of ice cream" I will admit, it was 2 seperat indulgences, but I was careful to keep them both under 1/2 cup and it was frozen yogurt with truffles, so it was only 120 calories and 1.5 grahms of sat fat. Ok...now for the fun part. 3 champagn cocktails loaded with vodka and fruit punch (a top 10 way to add unwanted calories to your diet) Countless bites of the 20+ appetizers we ordered along the night. Granted they were small Center City Sips portions but the only green was the cilantro in the pico de gallo that went with the chicken quesedillas and was mixed in with the sour cream. Cheese steak eggrolls, panko crusted, deep fried chicken bites, fried pork dumplings, fried calamari...OMG...they just kept coming. As did the Sangria's, jeramaih sweet tea, etc. Sometimes you just gotta say..."What the...." I did try to keep it to 1/2 or one bite of each thing. I'm stickin with the "Everything in Moderation" theme on this one :)
And...it certainly was the motivation I needed to get a cardio work out in in the morning. I'm currently skipping todays workout as I type this. But, I've had 3 days of intense workouts and I'll probably do something this afternoon. Yesterday, I recovered from the bad eating. I chopped some of those roasted veggetables up very small and put them in some bulk quinoa that I made as a good whole grain side for upcoming meals. That became lunch when I mixed it with the bean mixture from a few days ago. Wow...sometimes I feel like I turned into a vegetarian. But, the whole grains and the beans are yummy and keep me always feeling full. Breakfast was a mix of 3 high fiber cereals (Ezekial is a great source of nutrition, but a little crunchy and bland, so get a little crazy and I kick it up with Kashi and Nature's Path cereals. And, of course add some berries and 2% milk. I was eating soo well, that I decided I deserved a Frappaccino from Starbucks. I chose Soy milk since that was the lite option and I skipped the whipped cream, but I'm dying to know what kinda damage i did. (either way it was worth it). #1 rule of healthy living...Always enjoy what you are putting in your body. And that includes indulgences like this :) OK WOW....so not as bad as I though. I just checked www.myfitnesspal.com and a Starbucks Grande Light Caramel Frappaccino is only 160 calories and 2 grams of fat and 5 grams of protien!! Feeling like I should go get some ice cream RIGHT NOW!! Anyway, on my way to work, I made a quick stop at Bahama Breeze for a Mojito and their Shrimp Salad with dressing on the side. yum, yum and yum. I skipped the bread and crackers and replaced it with the simple carbs from my cocktail :) At the swim club show I had 1 baked potato chip to remind myself that they really aren't all that good. and, 2 glasses of wine. Keeping this blog is really letting me know that if I need to cut calories quickly, it's the liquid calories that need to go. But, I'm wearing a size 8-10 which is smaller than I'm used to!! And...therefore, they do NOT need to go just yet!!
Off to pick out a healthy breakfast and answer my weightloss e-mails to save the world from Fat...lol.
