Vino's Diary!

Hello all forum friends... Back from my trip... Sooo glad to be home!!! Lets see if I can remember what I ate...

Friday left at 3 am... so tired and icky didn't feel like eating at all (very rare!)... finally ate grilled chicken sand that night that had been squished around in the bottom of my bag on the way to Boston, had a couple drinks and went to bed!

Saturday was set up and had half a bagel and some melon on the way to convention center... Ok... here comes my proudest moment of the trip... Has anyone ever been to The Cheesecake Factory? Their menu is wow! I actually only got one of their weight management salads (under 560 cal), only ate half of it, and had the other half for dinner... Still can't believe it...

Sunday worked all day (I usually dont eat at trade shows when I am cooking... if you are looking at food all day, you really don't feel like eating it...) Had a big salad & some Margherita pizza...

Monday worked all day... been having Kombucha instead of Red Bull... works pretty well! Had a big salad and some dolmas...

Tuesday some Greek yogurt and some more pizza...

Wednesday up at 3 am to travel... didn't eat till got home 10 hrs later... Sandwich and then my boyf awesome spaghetti for welcome home...

Thursday I really bombed! I was so exhausted I couldn't fight temptation..
Cottage cheese & fruit (started out well....) Spaghetti (got to use the leftovers?) Cheesburger... Damn it! Boyf bad influence! Onion Rings and Fries too! He brought them and put them in front of me.... Aaaaach! Had that early in the day, so at least I had enough self awareness to not eat the rest of the day...

Friday didn't weigh... too scared from Thursday debacle... ate lots of fruit, salad and better things...

Saturday didn't weigh (been 10 days now)... too scared from Thursday debacle... went for a walk on the beach... Decided to flush, so drank protein shakes every 2 hours had a big spinach salad and an artichoke...

Sunday- Weighed today! Actually lost weight over the last week+ 4 lbs! I most have been working harder than I thought... :p

Anyways... thats the gist of my last week... Ready to get back to my routione

Day 37
Mood- Still sick!

I think it is starting to break up though... Throat scratchy all the way into my ears... sick of hacking... but works abdominal muscles to cough.. ya! Ha ha! Fab day to you all forum friends!
 
This has been a nasty little bug. I'm glad to hear it seems to be breaking up, but I'm sending wishes that you will soon be completely over it. {{hugs}}
 
Day- Not sure *sulk*
Mood- Finally almost better

Well.... you know the phrase "Feed a cold, starve a fever?" Well... I sure didn't have a fever! Fell of the wagon completely... ate a bunch of crap feeling sorry for myself... didn't exercise at all except for back and forth to the fridge... and haven't weighed in days in fear... *casts the "stink-eye" at the scale over there* Using second reset button for tomorrow and try to put the ickiness behind... Thanks for the well wishes... and I will be back, hopefully healthy and refreshed, in the morning... :ack2:
 
Ugh sorry to hear about the over-eating. Good luck on your next weigh in and I hope you feel better soon.
 
Day-41
Mood... Sniffly but definitely better!

Didn't gain as much as I was feeling I might have... Just a couple.. Not changing ticker "dress for the job you want, not the job you have = ticker the weight you will soon be back to, not what is on the scales today" Ha ha! Now that I am on the mend, back to the grindstone food-wise and soon back to exercise once fully recovered... ie. tomorrow. *fingers crossed*

Will update as often as possible.. (is bookmarked on my top bar, so I cannot forget!) Have a great day forum friends!
