This weekend...

...was long and strong on the calories.

Friday night: About half a large Domino's thin-crust pizza with
pepperoni, and half a beer.
Saturday: Lots of pizza and cake (son's second birthday party),
popcorn and M&M's at the movies in the evening, basically a big candy
day.
Sunday: Quite a lot of cake, more pizza, etc. etc., quite a bad day
for the diet.
Monday: Not great, regular breakfast, fairly small lunch (but pizza
again), a fairly large dessert after lunch, a healthy dinner (veggie
burgers), and a fairly large bowl of ice cream (3 scoops) after that.

Snacks

Cafe au lait 2% milk. One Cadbury's Aero chocolate bar. One small
box of Smarties (230 kcal).

Lunch

A large lunch (had no breakfast). Started with a small serving of
vegetable soup (non-creamy) and a spring roll plus a few roasted
peanuts. Then a main course of a fairly large serving of some noodles
with beef and a healthy-looking chicken course (oriental cuisine).
Then a small serving of cranberry crumble for dessert.

Last night...

Went to a concert. About 6 or 7 drinks (all beers except one rum in
coke). Afterwards, about two large slices of very juicy pizza.

lait 1% milk, and a small slice of cheesecake (whoops).

Whoopsie snack

Upon arrival at home after riding my bike from work, I wanted to have
just one mouthful of cake. Ended up eating one slice of chocolate
cake and one of cheese cake. Moral of the story: Don't eat a thing
until dinner after biking, especially if there are lots of yummy
birthday cakes left over.

the plate was mixed greens, no dressing, and some tomato and cucumber

This is pretty healthy stuff, but a fairly large helping (with a fair

and a small serving of chicken cacciatore (about 1 palm total). Half
a plate of spinach, raw broccoli, tomatoes, red peppers and three
olives plus a very small amount of fine herbs dressing.

Shortly before and shortly after lunch I had cafe au laits, both with 2% milk.

Weekend of Cake

I didn't really forget the food diary most of this weekend so much as decide not to write because it was impossible to keep up. Yes I know that sounds bad.

Saturday: We had our older sons' birthday party. I had a great deal of some delicious hot party foods based mostly on bread and cheese and mayonnaise. Also a great deal of various cakes. Also quite a lot of chocolates.

Sunday: Quite a lot of cake, some left-over hot party foods. Three or four beers at the Jazz Fest, and some Mexican food. In the evening, quite a lot of chocolates.

Breakfast

a bit of 2% milk. Also something like 5-6 M&Ms.

bit of milk, and a cafe au lait with non-fat milk.

For dinner, I had about...

For dinner, I had about 12 pieces of Sushi, may be 11 for ____ and 7 or 8 Rainbow Roll pieces. After dinner, I had a small pack of peanut eminence and cookies and cream bar, that's probably about 400 calories extra looks. listen

A bit of a guilty pleasure this one: An It's It ice cream sandwich,
weighing in at a hefty 340 kcal.

Lunch

Frenched all natural pork rib racks roasted and served with heirloom
tomato and apricot marmalade (a regular-size serving). Sides were

dressing. For dessert I had a small cheese empanada (a cookie kind of
thing) and a single piece of milk chocolate (30 kcal). All in all a
normal size meal.

Lunch

A small serving of a lamb stew (about half a palm, maybe slightly
more), a small serving of quinoa, a slice of potato, and the rest of

serving of dessert which was chocolate fudge and candied popcorn. All
in all a fairly small meal. After lunch I had a cafe au lait 2% milk.

The big lapse...

I forgot about the food diary for about a week, or more correctly I
remembered but never got around to making my entries and then I had
forgotten the details. Doh.

This week has not been too bad, most working days were just fine, the
weekend was not so fine (had quite a few drinks on Sunday night, a
friend came into town) and yesterday was just plain terrible: The
first thing I did after getting off the plane was to buy a small box
(12 pieces or so) of See's candies and eat the whole bunch, this
followed by a couple of normal meals but ending the day with an It's
It ice cream sandwich and four Oreo cookies. Yikes. Gotta get back
to making food diary entries right away, that helps me not binge.

I'm setting up regular reminders so that I remember to make entries.
That should hopefully help a lot.
