This morning I had planned to stop at Whole Foods to pick up some yummy weird cheese for breakfast, and some tomatoes to go with my lunch. But thanks to my good friends at VDOT (great job making Fairfax County Parkway one lane during rush hour!) that didn't happen. I got to Whole Foods around 11:30 after some meetings, and there was no yummy weird cheese. Apparently, it is flown in from a distant planet on the wings of unicorns every time there is a harvest moon (okay, it's really imported from France weekly). But my point is, they were out, and I was wearing really uncomfortable heels, and my cheese decision making skills were at an all time low.
So I ended up with some cute little goat cheeses that are 1 ounce each (measuring, people!), a thing of tomatoes, and some olive oil. I did my best to estimate 2 teaspoons. (Note to self: bring a teaspoon to work.) Then I had 3 more ounces of pork chop, a tablespoon of chocolate chips, and 5 glasses of water. Snack was one cup of blueberries.
Dinner was late because our friend Brent's flight was delayed, so I ate half of an apple. Then it was off to Fireworks with Brent and Brooke. There was much discussion of whether they'd end up on The Shame Squad (clearly the answer is yes) and if they would be blamed for what I ate (the answer is no--mostly because Brooke is a lawyer).
I had a glass of white wine, which was planned, so they are off the hook for that. For an appetizer, we had spinach dip, which I will sort of blame them for. I suggested the roasted olives, but apparently I was at dinner with a bunch of olive haters, so we did the spinach dip. But it was sooooooooooo good. It was like eating Jesus. (Note to churches everywhere: spinach dip communion. Think about it.).
Next was a green salad with low fat dressing. Then pizza, which sounds like it'd be not healthy, but our pie had local lamb sausage, tomatoes, onion, spinach, and feta. Plus Chris agrees with me that the slices were very small, so it was the equivalent of about 1 1/2 regular slices. And two glasses of water, plus the small bottle I had in the car, bringing the total for the day up to eight.
Then it was dessert, which everyone made disclaimers to me that they would Not Be Responsible for This. (Brent may have been yelling.) But what absorbs alcohol better than a chocolate chip cookie sundae, I ask? Plus I ordered it with four spoons and had a little help from the table. It was delicious. I would do it again.
In conclusion...
Blog all the things? Yep.
Do all the cardio? Nope.
Measure all the food? Yep.
Today I need to do the cardio and eat well if I'm gonna lose weight this week.
