Two Week Challenge: Days 5, 6, and 7

I'll be honest. The weekend was not what you would call a success in terms of eating healthy. Friday went well, minus the 4 beers I drank that night. But friends were in town so I had to celebrate! Saturday was a complete failure, the only redeeming moment being that I split a burger and salad at dinner instead of eating the whole burger alone. I promised I would document what I ate so here it is, in all it's glory...

Friday:

Breakfast:
Green Monster Smoothie

Lunch:
Southwestern Salad from Porto's


Conclusions:
This salad is filling and delicious. I don't know much about the dressing which is always the downfall of restaurant salads, but it's a mango vinaigrette that doesn't seem overly oily. But who knows. Normally I get no cheese, but I "forgot" this time. Whoops.

Daily Totals:
Vegetables: at least 3 servings
Fruit: 1 serving

Dinner:
Dinner at a friend's house. Two chicken drumsticks (no skin) with hot sauce. Green beans and a little bit of pasta salad.

Conclusions:
Very happy I didn't overeat as I sometimes do when there is a lot of food lying around.

Saturday:

Breakfast:
Potholder breakfast enchiladas (eggs, cheese, tortillas, and enchilada sauce) and hash browns.

Conclusion:
Kept me full enough that I didn't need lunch! At least one pro! Although I know I need to turn down the hash browns.

Dinner:
This was definitely my cheat meal. We decided to go to Beachwood BBQ with friends and it was glorious. I split a fried green tomato salad and burger with a friend. 

Conclusions:
Splitting was a good decision so that I got some greens in from the salad. I didn't eat all the bun on the burger and we didn't get fries! So that's kinda good!

Daily Totals:
Vegetables: 1 serving (sad)
Fruit: 0 servings (very sad.)

Sunday:

Breakfast: 
Pan toasted polenta, eggs over easy, and 2 vegetarian sausage. Fresh squeezed grapefruit juice.

Conclusion:
"Pan Toasted" is my way of saying fried. So yet again another fail.

Lunch:
1 chicken skewer at the Farmer's Market. Half a mini cauliflower crust pizza with fresh tomatoes and homemade sauce.

Conclusion:
Not bad. Made the smartest choice I could at the Farmer's Market.

Snacks:
Baked apple chips

Dinner:

Conclusion:
Finally eating healthy again!

Daily Totals:
Vegetables: at least 3 servings
Fruit: 2 servings

Peace, love, a healthier week ahead, and happiness!
