Food & Exercise -- Friday through Sunday
Well, I've been off at the my niece's wedding weekend -- a most
extravagant affair in all regards, including food. I ate too much all three days. I pretty much decided I was going to have what I wanted to at these events, but I still feel that I could have exercised more restraint. I am particularly susceptible to appetizers, I'm afraid :-). And if the three meals -- rehearsal dinner, wedding dinner, and next morning brunch -- weren't enough, when we checked into our hotel we were given a "goodie bag" that contained big chocolate chip cookies, mixed nuts, trail mix, and pretzels. Ah well ... it was fun, and I will be abstemious now for a while. Food: Friday: 8:30 (home): 30g Hi-Lo cereal, 30g All Bran, 22g whey protein, 1 cup skim milk 11:15 (driving to Baltimore airport to pick up my mother): 1/2 energy bar (split with DH) 1:00 (driving to DC after picking up mom -- brought from home): sandwich w/ 2 slices whole wheat bread, 1/2 can tuna, 1 tbsp f/f mayo 3:00 -- 6:00 (hotel room, from the goodie bag): 2 oz. mixed nuts; 1 large chocolate chip cookie 7:00 -- 10:00 (rehearsal dinner at Sequoia restaurant): 10 oz wine; 6 various passed appetizers (carpaccio of beef on a little breadstick; Peking ravioli; Thai egg rolls); salad w/ vinaigrette; 3 oz. pecan-encrusted chicken (only ate half of serving); sauteed green beans; white chocolate mousse cake 11:30 (hotel room, from the goodie bag): 1 oz. trail mix Totals: 2334 calories (214 from alcohol), 96g fat (37%), 216g carbs (37%), 134g protein (23%) Saturday: 9:30 (hotel cafe): 1/2 serving of eggs benedict, w/ a couple of oz. of home-fried potatoes (split the dish with my mom) 1:00 (hotel cafe): chicken salad & brie sandwich on whole wheat; 1/2 cup salad w/ vinaigrette 2:00 -- 6:00 (hotel room, from the goodie bag); 1 oz. mixed nuts; 1 large chocolate chip cookie 8:00 -- 1:00 (wedding reception -- cocktails, dinner, after dinner): 18 oz. wine; 10 various passed appetizers (shrimp w/ pesto, smoked salmon on waffle potato crisp; mini crab cakes; guacamole in tiny pastry cups; tomato and buffalo mozzarella on toast); salad (greens and buffalo mozzarella) w/ vinaigrette; 3 oz. beef tenderloin; 3 oz. broiled salmon; 2 oz. asparagus; 1 oz. rissotto (didn't like it that much); plate of mini desserts (tiny baked Alaska, little cannoli, 1 mini scoop raspberry sorbet, little heart-shaped ice cream sandwich) -- didn't eat quite all of these; 1/2 piece wedding cake Totals: 2882 calories (386 from alcohol), 134g fat (42%), 211g carbs (29%), 120g protein (17%) Averages for the week: 1629 calories, 27% fat, 40% carbs, 78% protein {Not as bad as it might have been, because I ate very lightly for the first half of the week, but not a weight-losing calorie level for me.} Sunday: 11:00 -- 3:30 (brunch and afterward at my brother and sister-in-law's house): 1/2 oz. mixed nuts; 1 sweet & sour meatball; croissant w/ egg & cheese; 2 mini quiches; 2 pieces of various coffee cakes; 1/2 slice "breakfast pizza"; 1 crab puff; 1 spinach/cheese square; 3 various dessert squares (brownie sorts of things) 7:15 (home): 2 poached eggs on 1 slice whole wheat toast w/ 3 slices melted f/f cheese Totals: 2034 calories, 91g fat (40%), 236g carbs (35%), 73g protein (14%) Exercise: Friday: None to speak of -- a little schlepping around the airport with my mom's bags. Saturday: In the morning, a little shopping with my mom in a wheelchair. In the evening at the wedding, some good fast dancing (as much as I could talk DH into, plus a few dances with other guys). Sunday: After the party, on the way home, stopped by the gym and did my cardio program week 4, long day: 35 minutes run on treadmill in repeated pattern (4 minutes at 4.6, 1 minute at 4.7). {Not trying to make up for all the food -- just doing it today so I don't have to tomorrow after work, as I have a long work day.} Chris 262/150/ (145-150) {Probably will weigh more at tomorrow's weigh-in :-) .} |
