Hey hey!
I am still here! Just had a jam-packed weekend!
Anyways, i will summarize my weekend.
Friday : went out to eat japanese tapas + aquabus (bus on water!) just for fun for the birthday girl + improv show which was a lot of fun.
Saturday : Weight in 185.6 (+0.2)
12AM : shared a lot of american/westcoast brunch food. It was bad! ~2000 calories. It was a groupon and it was only 30$ for 2 people at a high end hotel restaurant. Great food, but I'm sure it was filled with a lot of fat! Shared bennies, seafood chowder, fish and chips, crab fritters, sampler of 6 deserts AND they had unlimited mini donuts!! It was amazing deal but of course, not a great deal for my weight.
Walked a lot around town, night market (avoided the food stalls even though my friends ate), walked around malls.
8PM : Had some pho ~ 700 calories.
Watched Harry Potter 2.
Total for Sat: 2700 Cals
Sunday: Weigh-In : 186.6 (+1.0)
Had a Laksa noodle soup w/ vegetables and 3 fried chicken wings ~ 1000 calories.
Played Mah Jong for 4 hours...BUT...had some popcorn too ~ 300 cals
8PM - Ukrainian dinner - Borscht soup - shared perogies/cabbage rolls/sausage and a roasted duck w/ mashed potatos. Also had a Ukraininan Iced Tea. This felt like a really heavy meal. I was eating out with a friend who was back in town after about a year. ~ 2000 cals.
Total for Sunday ~3300 cals
Monday: Weigh-In - 189.6 (+3.0) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I did have a very bloated stomache even after my morning lou. I also ended up pooping some more later this morning.
BF: almond milk + cereal ~200 cals
Snack: had 2 pieces of chicken ~100 cals this is the chinese sized portion where one drumstick is sliced into 4 pieces
Lunch/snack: blueberries (100) + cheese triangle (70) ~170 cals
5PM: cantaloupe ~ 120 cals
[insert nap]
9PM: egg white + mushrooms and a lil cheese ~ 250 cals
2x white peaches ~ 150 cals surprised how low calorie White Peaches are...they are so sweet and I kept finding them around 70 cals each online
Total for Monday ~ 1000 cals
I needed to have a good day. I did eat a bit late today so hopefully it doesn't stay in my stomache tomorrow morning. I want to see my weight drop back down. Seeing the 189.6 was mind blowing..3 lbs in a day?!? I did eat a lot but definitely not 3 lbs worth. 3500 calories = 1lb so I definitely did not eat 10500 calories. It's just some of the stuff didn't finish digesting and getting out of my system!
My weekend wasn't good but it is not as bad as the scale shows. I had 2 admittedly terrible meals - Saturday Brunch and Sunday Ukrainian Dinner. The other meals weren't that bad ~1000 or less. And I tend to have 2 meals on weekends it seems. I wake up late - I have a lunch and then I eat a late dinner. If both were 1000 calories - I could live with that for a weekend. That's still under my 'maintenance calories' - I believe my maintenance cal is around 2200 cals.
So I still have work avoiding those heavy meals or just learning to eat less during it.
I also didn't exercise at all besides walking - I was barely home all weekend.
The one good thing that I noticed was that I avoided snacking for the most part during the weekends. I ate the 2 main meals but I avoided night market snacks and movie snacks and mcdonalds late one night when my friend had some.
So yea...I don't know what to say. I will be working hard this week of course to get my weight back down...I had a bad weekend but I don't think the 189.6 accurately shows how I did. My stomache took today to clear that late heavy meal out. I think tomorrow will give me a better idea where I stand when I weigh-in.
I still can't believe my scale almost went to 190...
