Week 3

was on a road trip with my mom most of the week. had to try to make good decisions when there really aren't good decisions available.

i haven't weighed myself yet this week. but, here's how i did on vacation. there was a lot of water drinking in the car, and some 100 calorie packs, and fiber granola bars eaten as road snacks.

my mom and i left for IA / NE (the flatlands) on saturday morning.
i had a quizno's salad for lunch. saturday pm i got to meet my only full cousin on my mom's side for the first time! the last time my mom saw him, he was 4 ... now he's 33. my uncle is a hunter and a super good cook. he brought vennison loin to grill for dinner. along with that my mom and i split a twice baked potato, and there was a delicious spinach salad with strawberries, almonds, and vidalia onion dressing. for dessert there was rhubarb cobbler.

sunday there was continental breakfast at the hotel. i splurged and had a waffle. that afternoon brought a personal sized hawaiian pizza (my favorite) from Lansky's in Omaha. sunday pm, my mom's cousin Linda put together a very perfect portioned roast beef sandwich, a handful of potato chips, and a nice glass of milk.

monday brought a bowl of raisin bran & coffee of course! lunch time on monday i had a chef's salad wih a raspberry vinagrette at Petro's in Omaha. monday night i splurged and had a beef quesadilla and a strawberry margarita at a hole-in-the-wall mexican restaurant called La Hacienda in Omaha.

tuesday morning was another delicious bowl of raisin bran (i love that stuff!). i can't for the life of me remember what we had to eat for lunch. tuesday night we had dinner with rachael and andrew in Iowa City at a super cute place. i had a super good bok choy salad, and a mushroom pesto pasta. also, a bit of red wine. i had a bite of andrew's creme brulee.

wednesday we drove home and had continental breakfast. once again, raisin bran and i had an english muffin with peanut butter. for lunch i had a kid's meal at culver's with applesauce instead of fries. i did have gummi worms for a driving snack. they were just loaded with sugar and not much else.

so basically that was our trip, and i didn't do great, but i could have done A LOT worse.
