The weekend was full of temptations, but I am very proud to say I made it through unscathed! First, my fiance called on Friday night asking if I wanted him to pick me up anything on the way home. I had already eaten and said no thanks. He came home with a BBQ chicken pizza-size large and triple cheese breadsticks, then tried to persuade me to eat it. I resisted, barely. Saturday he called me on his way home again and asked me what I would like from his favorite Chinese place, the place he claims is better than anywhere else, the place he ended up waiting at for nearly an hour for take-out. Good thing I had already eaten by the time he had called both nights, so he wasn't asking me on an empty stomach. THEN I had Sunday morning to deal with. He usually makes us breakfast, but I was hungry and he was still sleeping, so I ate my breakfast. Normally, I would partake in Sunday breakfast, just in smaller amounts, but I had already eaten my yogurt and was secretely annoyed by the barage of temptations, so I skipped it even with some more attempted persuasion by my fiance. Finally, I said look, do you see me trying to get you to eat fruits, vegetables, and chicken breast? He stopped waving the bacon in my face.
BLUNCH: Chobani lemon yogurt, raspberries, strawberries, pineapple.
EARLY DINNER: 1/2 roasted chicken breast with skin, 1 chicken leg, 1 cup brown rice, salad (romaine, 2 T yogurt based Ceasar dressing, parmesan cheese, cucumber, and tomato.)
SNACKS: Air-popped corn with 1 T butter, grapes, 1/2 cup lemon gingersnap ice cream.
The final temptation of the weekend was my doing. I bought a pumpkin pie and whipped cream and brought it to my parent's house for dessert with my boys. I ended up passing on the pie, even though it is a reasonable snack, but it is not my favorite, and I would much rather have the ice cream.
I made it through! I have never been so relieved to see a Monday! One week down, 10 more days until Turkey Day Challenge is successfully completed!
