This is a blitz post - no time at all today but will be resuming my regular slacking at work schedule tomorrow and do a real post.
I mainly wanted to thank all of you for your (Friday) suggestions regarding my 2 mine field events yesterday and how to best negotiate them without falling into an abyss of wanton eating. I did okay. I've done much worse, and would have possibly gotten into more calorie laden consumption of mass quantities except that the food at both the parties was really not that great. Nor tempting. In all modest honesty, my apple cake at the first party was the best thing there and it was scarfed up in record time. I had a bowl of chili someone made and a bit of a southwestern layered dip with about 5 "Scoops" (Tostito chips shaped like little bowls). A small lemon square. And yes - a medium sized piece of my cake. That was it. At the second gathering I was full from the first, and had only a very small amount of a yummy pear, gorgonzola and pecan salad and 3 bites of 3 different cookies that weren't good enough to warrant eating the rest. At least 200 calories saved there, I'm sure.
This morning I left early for a conference that turned out to be excellent. I just got home from that and wanted to at least make my mark in blogdom today before going out to exercise. So that's next on the docket, followed by a fund raising dinner for my job at Iron Hill where I know I can make healthy sane selections. I hope everyone had a good weekend and I'll catch up on blog reading tonight and tomorrow.
Glad you had a good weekend...still trying to decide on the restaurant this Friday...:)
ReplyDeleteSounds to me like you did a great job of moderation, enjoying things without going overboard:)
ReplyDeleteFor some reason , those Scoops scare me. I never really crave Doritos till I start eating them, and then it's all down hill. The Scoops look so "pretty" an I keep thinking of all the fun and cute ways you could use them. Then I put the bag down, walk away and shudder at the near occasion of badness :-)
ReplyDeleteAwesome job! It sounds as though you induldge a little bit without going overboard.
ReplyDeleteGreat job with the eating events, and way to go on leaving the "unworthy" cookies behind!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it great when the food at parties isn't that great, especially when you're trying to avoid it? :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on doing so well with all of your temptations Leslie! Things are going along well for you!
