Weekends are the worst. I have to cook during the week as it is, and when it comes to weekends I hate it even more. Friday I went from my full time job at Fleet Feet to my our side gig (photo booth rental). I had to drive an hour to the location, set up and run the booth solo, then drive home. It was 7:30pm by the time I got home and I was exhausted. I hadn't eaten much and still had 1100 calories left for the day so I talked my husband into picking up some McDonald's for us. It wasn't a great choice health wise but I was within my calorie allowance. But after that, it was getting later, I was cuddling with the new grandbaby and started to have a bit of a coughing fit (still fighting a cold) and I really wanted something to either soothe or scratch my throat. So I ended up eating a package of graham crackers....which then put me over my allowance.
And then today, we're up in Kalamazoo for another photo booth rental and we got a coffee at Biggby, and now we're eating out at a brewhouse. Had to try a local beer right? Shared some cheese curds with hubby (ate fewer than he did), and got a Butternut Squash Ravioli with some blackened Chicken added to it (some protein to balance out the carbs). I probably shouldn't have substituted the salad for the zucchini fries, but this is the only place that serves them and I can get a salad anywhere.
Chances are this will be my only meal today and I'll be drinking water the rest of the night. We'll see how things add up as I get it all added into my food diary.
Have a great weekend. What are your challenges or tips on weekends?.
