In the Red

Saturday, I planned my breakfast and lunch around the fact that I had concert plans for the evening. I knew that I would have a few beers and we had plans to eat dinner out before the concert. I made a conscious effort to eat a breakfast and a lunch that were high in protein and low in points. I did have a plan.

Well, I ended up drinking all of my weeklies in beer and then we went to Ihop at midnight because we ate a fairly small dinner. I was now in the red with my weeklies. That was NOT my plan at all! I did have a great time, but I overdid on drinks and let myself get caught up in the fun.

I had a blast with these two crazy ladies!

I said that I would track all of my food this week, and although I had to make a guess on some of what I ate, I did track it all and I know where I’m at for the week.

Yesterday, I was back on track with some great tasting food that kept me within my points for the day.

Now….back to that plan of getting into the 160’s!

YUM! You add red wine and let it simmer for an hour and a half.

I have made this one time before and had forgotten just how amazing it was. It is a little time consuming, but worth it!

Beef and Bacon Stew served over Whipped Cauliflower. This recipe is from Juli Bauer’s Paleo Cookbook. I believe this recipe is only in the cookbook and not online, or I would give you the link.

  1. Thank you Carol! It always makes me feel good to write a confession blog, and know that my readers relate to it and appreciate it. Those little splurges are absolutely a part of living life and enjoying yourself. Thank you for your comment and you are RIGHT….IHop hash browns are delicious!!

    🙂

  2. I love your blog because you are so honest and real about what you actually eat. I have the same issues you do – Although I’d like to lose a few pounds, I want to live my life, enjoy myself and not always worry about being “on a diet.” And I can’t resist Ihop’s hash browns, especially when they’re nice and crispy!

  3. Just love who you are! I so enjoy every blog and often save and share. Thank you for taking the time to inspire us.
