Daily Tracker Friday, May 25, 2012

A busy end to an even busier week. Getting caught up with emails and paperwork, and a run to pick up my contact lenses. a visit from my favorite niece and a fun lunch out. the place Little Big Burger is fun, sort of Ikea like in design with great little burgers and fries. Oh darn I should have taken a pic of the burger, ok next time.

I tracked it all, even the “empty” calories in the evening, and drank all that extra water ….

This was my day to do mostly nothing. I did a few chores around the house, got my errands and laundry finished. I even put the screen in the front door. Then I spent the day reading. A great Saturday!!

Turned out to be a busy Friday. After work I had to fight with my insurance company to find an eye Doctor that would take my insurance as it was getting near the time for more contact lens. What a hassle! Got it taken care of and went out for some great Mexican food and of course a couple of margaritas. It was worth the extra points.

Okay so the other day it was margaritas, and yesterday it was Red Robin. Could I have made better choices, yes, did I no, but it is all tracked and I have prepared for my drive back later today by stocking up on healthy snacks. I have pre-cut apples, water and vegetables. I will have a descent breakfast.

While my day was a busy one I did take a break and enjoy a local High School baseball game. Where I was working there is this great fish tank. So it was not all about work and I was able to focus on the job at hand.

Traveling for work this week (again). Spending time in the southern part of the state. The drive south was pleasant and I had the car packed with good food so I would not be tempted to stop at the burger place in Rice Hill. I need to stay away from that place. My plans fell apart at dinner. I had great Mexican food at this little place off the main drag across from the VA. Well I had the extra points and I tracked it all even the 2 margaritas.

A busy work day. Kept my empty calories in check and I did not stress eat. I am on the road for the rest of the week so let the fun begin. I have already made a lunch for the road today and I will try to make the most of my dinner options. My guess that when I post the tracker tomorrow all will be known.

I ended the week with 66 activity points! For lunch I created a Giant Salad (pic on post) I wanted bulk and I got it. I again had success in reducing my empty calories by mixing a small amount of whiskey with club soda. Weigh – In later today and I am looking forward to a great loss.
