Fat Mommy to Fit Mommy

I've been doing pretty well lately... "B" has my caloric intake set at 2200-2500, which is actually doable, especially since I've gotten rid of all of my "low cal" crap. I also had a decent week (so far) working out:
Monday: worked out with B. 550 calories burned
Tuesday: did one of my old workouts. 505 calories burned
Wednesday: went for a great, fast walk with Luci: 430 calories burned
Thursday: took a day off.
Friday: reluctantly took another day off (due to sore throat and headache, did not want to over-exert myself and get sick)

Today (Saturday) I will do "B"s workout again, and tomorrow I will do one of my old ones. So, 5 days of workout out this week.

B wants me doing 3 weight workouts per week and 2 strictly cardio. This means that I have to get to the pool and swim lengths, and/or get to the gym and get on an eliptical. I'm not sure I'm ready to get back to the gym just yet. Maybe. I find that if I go around 8pm, an hour before closing, it's pretty much deserted, so maybe I'll try that.

So, everything was going well. My eating still needed some tweaking - I am still falling short in the protein area and going over in the fat area - but I knew she would have my meal plan ready soon. And then...

My Dad took Cohen and Lili for a sleepover last night, so Ian took me to dinner. It started out well - we decided against the oh-so-convenient Boston Pizza (ever check out their nutritional information? It's scary.) and headed to Montana's, where I knew at least I could find some chicken.

I decided on the Chicken Fajita's with rice. Not a bad selection it turns out (I checked nutritional info once I got home, should have done so first but we didn't decided where to eat until we were on the road). Total was about 745 cals - if you ate the whole thing, which I didn't. But:

I also had a beer (100 cals). AND - we were SO hungry that I gave into temptation and we ordered a starter. SHOULD have just ordered a salad. But no, we went with our old favourite (and the cheapest item), the cheesy garlic toast. They gave us 4 large buns... and it turns out they are 760 calories EACH! Fuck! I ate 1.5. Shit man. So I ended up at about 3100 calories yesterday. Grrr.

However: I'm not going to let it bother me. I'm just going to make sure I do my two workouts this weekend, and really be careful about what I eat, leaning more towards the 2200 mark today and tomorrow.

I don't get to meet with B again until after I return from vacation - not until August 16th! SO I really have to stay focused.
