Days 2 & 3

This has been great! Having to write it down and post it publicly has been good for motivation

Day 2, I had meetings all day and a client dinner so I didnt get much of a choice in what I ate. But here goes:
Protien Shake 110c
Nectarine half 25c (collin ate the other half, I'm not that crazy!)
2 Mini Egg Quiche- recipe stolen from Laurens blog!
200 c
Chicken sand, 1/2 the bun 350c
chips 140c
brownie :( 200
Cottage cheese 100
Veggie Pizza (loaded with Brocoli, tomato, onion and peppers) 500
Cocktails. After all, I was with clients and I work in the liquor industry
Smirnoff Melon & Club Soda 80
Smirnoff RootBeer & Club Soda 80
total of 1,785
not great at all, but as long as I stay under 2,000 I dont consider it a bust. I also went to the gym this morning and lifted and ran, for 250 calories burned

Day 3
A+ Cinnamon Sweet Potato Pancake. So good, and Collin loves them- you can get them at Whole Foods and take only a minute to microwave. I eat them plain, and just put butter on them for Collin. 110 c

Cantaloupe 20
Tuna Salad- tuna, plain greek yogurt, pickle relish and salt & pepper- 100
PB & J - very thin bread by Pepperidge Farm- this stuff is great! Only 40 calories a slice. It really is thin, but then you only need a tiny bit of Peanut Butter and Jelly to make it balance. I use all natural PButter and Strawberry Rhubarb jelly from my farmers market 220

Wheat thins and cheese 120
Handful of Almonds 140
then we went to get mexican for dinner...and I had a margarita. but, a small one, no salt...
300c
Jose Cuervo of course, and it was amazing and totally worth it!
Chicken breast with onion, cheese and peppers- no tortilla or anything (I had to make up for the Marg!)400
and a few chips and cheese dip 200

I think the key to eating out, and I do it alot, is to plan ahead. So when I went out with clients, I ate a snack before I left home so I wouldn't be starving and eat whatever. With lunch, it was boxed lunch that I didnt have a choice in. While I could have passed on the brownie, it was just tempting me so of course I ate it! But, I only ate 1/2 the bread and didnt use the mayo.

Chips at a mexican dinner are hard to resist too, so I either ask for corn tortillas at the start of the meal and use those instead, or I pre-portion out an amount before I begin. So for example, last night I only ate about 10 chips. Its actually more then it sounds, and satisfies the craving!
