Weekend in South Carolina

Last WI: 220.2/At Home WI: 219.8

MONDAY

Well this weekend was fun but not wonderful WW-wise. Friday night I went out with Erik to Y-knots and had chicken nachos for dinner. Not a great choice but believe it or not there are worse. I also had a few beers, but was driving so didn't go overboard there.

Saturday we got up at 8:00 to pick up two 17 year old boys - Shane and Ryan. Shane is the son of one of Erik's best friends who is stationed in Iraq right now. Ryan is a classmate of Shane. Both are baseball players and there was an event in South Carolina this weekend they wanted to go to but couldn't get a ride. Erik's friend asked if we would take them and we agreed. So, Saturday we spent the day on the road. I was good and made myself a tuna sandwich for breakfast, knowing we were meeting them at Burger King and knowing I'd make a very bad choice there for breakfast. Lunch we stopped at a wing place, so I didn't eat great, but didn't over-indulge. For dinner we ate at the resort we were staying at. I had a really bad steak, but it was small and not fatty at all, so not too bad, and a couple beers. The good news is that before we went to dinner I convinced Erik to hit the hotel gym with me and earn some APs. I managed just over 2 miles before calling it quits when the treadmill died on me.

Sunday we took the boys by McDonald's on the way to the ball park, but I talked Erik into dropping them off and getting subway for us - so that was a victory. It was a little late, so it was lunch and we had no breakfast. Then we went and watched they boys play for a few hours and I got some much needed sun - a bit too much but the burn wasn't bad. We hit the road about 5:00 stopping at a gas station for drinks/snacks. I munched on some chips (bad idea!) and we stoped for dinner about 7:00 where I split some pizza and breadsticks with Erik. Over all not a horrible day but definitely could have been better. We got home about 11:00 last night after dropping the boys off and crashed out immediately.

Erik left this morning for a week in Ft. Lauderdale for a conference (lucky boy!) so I'm single for the week. I'm going to try to use that to my advantage and get LOTS of exercise in and stay home. We'll see how my resolve lasts as the week goes on. Of course that doesn't apply to tonight because it's Monday and our weekly poker game is tonight. Holly is hosting and I doubt I'll have time after work to make it to the gym before heading over there at 7:00. So, the plan is to eat a really low points day and eat dinner before I go over there and NOT drink beer while I'm there. Again - we'll see how my resolve does.

So far today I've had a balance bar for breakfast (4pts) and some 94% ff popcorn (2pts). I just about to head out for lunch which will probably be subway again. I might try for just a turkey sub (5pts) no chips and a drink. That would do well toward my goal of a low point day. It's a plan - now to execute!
