Didn't Do So Hot With That

Well, I must say that it was incredibly difficult, if not impossible, for me to count over the weekend while at my conference. I think one thing that made it harder is that we were on the go the entire time. Lunch time flew by. We usually ate lunch at a restaurant on the street that we were on or at the university's food court. So it was all fast food type stuff. I'd love to say that I cut down on portion sizes to make up for it, but I was starving every meal. I even finished an entire Qdoba burrito - usually I can only eat half of one of those things! I'm hoping maybe it's because I was on the go so much that I was burning it off. I guess the scale will tell the truth on that one when I step on it on Saturday. I'd weigh myself here but I'm trying not to obsess. Also, it's a different scale than the weight watchers one, so it's not like it'd tell me much if I weighed on a different scale, know what I mean? We had Olive Garden one night and the angel on my shoulder told me to go for a red sauce. Well, the little devil won out on that one. I got the fettuccine alfredo - and boy was it good! Boo split it with me, so I didn't eat the entire thing. But once again, I can usually only eat about half of their serving - if that much - and I scarfed the entire thing down. I will say on a positive note that there wasn't much munching or eating sweets, something I usually reserve some points for at home. So hopefully the fact that I didn't have anything sweet will help. Okay - I did have a Girl Scout thin mint - but only one.

We had Panera a couple of the mornings for breakfast. I ordered a "Power Sandwich" which looked like a pretty healthy option. I know better than to go near those bagels. That probably would've been over half my daily points right there! Anyways, the sandwich only had 340 calories. I didn't have the fat and fiber information, so I couldn't calculate the points. But it was advertised as one of their healthy options. So hopefully it was as healthy as they made it out to be. When I had Chick fillet one day I got a grilled chicken instead of breaded. So I did put forth some sort of effort. But I did not actually track points. So I'm a bit curious to see the scale this Saturday.

Anyways, I'll post on how that all turns out after my meeting on Saturday.

Anyways, it was just terribly difficult as my choices were pretty limited and I was pressed for time most meals.
