What happens at Oktoberfest... Stays at Oktoberfest


This weekend was interesting as far as food.

In no ways did I attempt to eat healthy. It consisted of McDonalds, pizza, brats, pepsi, and Schmidt's cream puffs.

I just blatantly give up on the weekend. In fact, my hubby said something about his shirt starting to get snug after Oktoberfest. We are both guilty schwines... Paul more than me, but I've never seen the boy happier than with a big stein of beer, and two brats and cream puffs in his belly. It was a good time indeed.

Today it's back on track, and I kept to my word about fruits and veggies this week.

I packed some apples for a snack today.

BREAKFAST:
Cinnamon Toast Crunch (3)
Milk (1)

LUNCH:
Healthy Choice Rice and Chicken soup (2)
Saltine Crackers (2)
2 Oreos (2)

DINNER:
Lean Pocket (7)

And... whatever else I find. Probably 20 oreos..... I'm kidding.


Dinner is an evil word this week. My poor husband won't have much of my cooking this week, because of my schedule, which is why I myself have resorted to Lean Pockets to full fill my hunger.

I suppose it will be another week of cereal, and sandwiches for him.

204 days

Good Monday Morning.

I think I dread any week in which I have more than two activities planned. This week is going to be nothing short of Chaotic.

MONDAY (today) I start my pottery classes at Mayco, which start at 6:30, so I have to leave right after work to make it there, and then I'll be there until 9:30.

TUESDAY: Practice, which keeps me at theater until 9:30 since I'm the assistant director.

WEDNESDAY: I have a YELP! Elite event I'm going to, which sounds like a flippin' BLAST! Just imagine a masquerade party on the rooftop pool of the Renaissance hotel in downtown Columbus. Yes, I am totally excited.

THURSDAY: Practice, again. X_x

FRIDAY: Oh my God, an actual day where I have nothing planned. It's a miracle, but sadly, I believe it will be short lived.

On top of all of that, I work a 9-5 job. I'm starting to miss my "me" time. I was kind of nice at the start of this year to do what I wanted to do, and not be held to obligations. The gym is one of those obligations I wish I were more tied to instead.

I've found that ordering a chili at Wendy's is a great appetite suppressor, and also, is cheaper on my pocket book, AND it's lower in calories, and essentially, better for you.

Wendy's nutritional menu is great, because I am totally not a side salad person at all, so the fact they offer lower calorie options EVEN with fries still as a side is awesome.

My goal this week is to survive, and not over snack during down time a midst the chaos.

BREAKFAST:
Golden Grahams (3)-120
Milk (1) Normally (3), but I didn't finish it. -50

LUNCH:
McDonalds
Cheeseburger (7)-300
Small fries (5)- 230
Diet Coke (0)

According to Mayo Clinic: I should be ingesting only 2150 calories a day. We'll see how that turns out.
