Mother's Day weekend

I should start on Thursday night. I went out w/my Sunday School girlfriends to celebrate the birth of baby Sydney to Suzanne. It was so nice. I ate a turkey burger but then caved in and ate sweet potato fries, which were super yummy, but full of fat (fried). I realized later that I should have shared the fries w/someone else!

On Friday, I had to drag myself (and I mean drag myself) to the gym. I did a half hour of weights before subjecting myself to a kickboxing class. Everytime I kicked or punched, I pictured those sweet potato fries! The class was during lunchtime so I didn't eat lunch until about 2:30. I was starving.

Saturday was pretty normal. My mom and sister came into town and we went to Chili's for lunch. I ate 2 chicken tacos, which didn't have a lot of "bad" stuff on them. Mom and Jess got the chicken fingers there, but after being in Weight Watchers I learned that those things are BIG TIME NO NO's. I had one of Mom's (after peeling off the fried stuff) and they weren't really all that good. My chicken taco was yummy.

We had lasagna that night (homemade w/lean ground beef and whole wheat noodles). I had one serving of it and a lot of salad. I think I had only one piece of bread. I had my homemade whole wheat banana bread for dessert :)

On sunday, we went to John's mom. We had chicken rice cassarole and various side items. I had one small serving of everything and almost no dessert. I did have 2 servings of strawberry salad but I think that was fairly low in fat. I went to see Star Trek on my own and had root beer and popcorn. I RARELY do this but it was Mother's Day. I drank all the root beer and I ate about 2 cups of popcorn (barely 1/2 of what I bought). That night I had a bowl of broccoli salad and another serving of strawberry salad.

Now I must get ready for the gym!
