So I did end up going to Wendy's for lunch Saturday. What can I say? I am weak. But sadly I didn't get the Baconater I wanted. I decided to get the Asiago Chicken Ranch. And I say sadly because I didn't really like the chicken sandwich. I thought that I would because I love chicken, I love asiago cheese and I love anything ranch. But. It just wasn't good. the chicken was flavorless. I didn't taste ANY asiago cheese, though there was a white substance melted on the chicken. It just didn't taste like asiago. And there was one big tough leaf of iceberg lettuce that obliterated the ranch dressing. Total disappointment. I honestly think I did grimace at the first bite. :-/ The fries were good, though. I love salty fries.
Saturday night I did eat the other half of the Totinos around 6:30, I think. And I had a couple of Reese's cups. Oops! haha
Sunday I made coconut white chocolate sour cream pancakes with maple syrup for breakfast. Then I cooked lunch for my folks--baked coconut shrimp, twice baked potatoes, and bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers with white chocolate macadamia cookies for dessert. Ended up making way too much shrimp since it turns out my mother doesn't really like shrimp. I fact she had never disclosed before and didn't even bother to mention when I told her what the menu plan was. If I'd known, I'd have saved some of the shrimp to do something else with later this week. :-/ Daddy enjoyed it, though and there was enough left that we were able to split the leftovers.
I was so stuffed from all that shrimp at lunch that I didn't eat any supper last night. I did end up eating about four cookies. They were super small, though.
This morning I went back to my chocolate cheerios with almond milk and water. So glad to have some authentic cheerios again. Lesson learned on cheaping out on the generic ones. Most generic things taste almost exactly like the original versions but not the cheerios. Sad.
I had a coffee with half and half and sugar for morning break and brought a left over twice baked potato for lunch. It's not all that bad for you. The worst thing in it is the little scoop of sour cream. *shrugs* Supper tonight will probably be shrimp and salad.
As for exercise, I didn't do much of it this weekend. Was too busy with other things and just never found a moment to get outside. To make up for it, I walked a mile this morning during break. Both of my buddies were busy with other things so I was on my own. Figured, why not? So I got in an extra walk this morning to add to my planned walk this afternoon. :)
Updated! 3:23pm--So I just finished my second mile for the day. My left calf muscle will not be handing me any awards anytime soon but the rest of me feels really glad I did it. After all the junk I've eaten the past couple of weeks, it feels good in my soul to do something extra that it GOOD for me.
I have noticed, though, that my pace has slowed over the past few days. Not sure why that is except for the screaming left calf muscle that makes me want to cry a little about halfway through the mile. Not sure what's up with that leg. I stretch before each walk and try to start my pace out rather slowly but no matter what I do, that leg starts aching really badly about mid-mile every time lately. And I had two days off from walking so that shouldn't be it. Maybe I'm not getting enough calcium or Vitamin D or something. Or maybe my old strain is rearing it's ugly head. I hate the thought of going to a doc to have it checked out because I know he's going to say it's because I'm fat. He won't even look for anything else. He'll just blame my weight.
Docs do something similar to my mom these days. Anytime she complains of a new ailment they tell her it's because she's old. Well, what if it's not because she's old or I'm fat. What if there's actually something wrong? I refuse to hand over money I could use to buy books just so someone can state the obvious to me without looking any further.
Guess I'll just tough this muscle pain out on my own unless it gets so bad I CAN'T walk.
