Calorie Countdown - Freeway Friday, what are you eating?
on 9/18/08 11:06 pm - San Antonio, TX
The great shoe quest is over. We shopped until we dropped yesterday looking for my shoes and Ryan's suit. He's a weird size so we finally went to Men's Wearhouse and spent more than we'd like, but it will fit so nice once we get it back from them tailored. He will be sharp, and honestly its very important for his confidence because his family likes to beat him down verbally. So if a nice suit makes me more confident and comfortable to withstand them, I'll sell a kidney to afford it!
I ended up getting some black Kenneth Cole pumps and a small black purse that was on clearance. The dress comes in today, and if it fits and looks good, all I need are some pantyhose. Its been a while since I've had to really dress up for something so I am excited and nervous. I am nervous about seeing his family because... as mentioned above... they have a knack for bursting ones bubble and making you hate yourself. Its very toxic.
3 more weeks for that.
And oooh, I am going to ride my first roller coaster this weekend, wish me luck! I hope I am brave enough (I am very scared of heights)
B - green tea and then some yogurt
L - leftovers from a roasted veggie goat cheese pizza I ended up getting last night instead of eating leftover enchiladas :)
S - protein shake with mootopia
D - enchiladas (bean and cheese, and I don't fry the tortillas)
S - protein shake with soy milk
Have a great day everyone! Please share your food choices and weekend plans, and tell me a joke, I need a laugh.

Congrats on the shoes - my wide foot will likely never fit into Kenneth Cole shoes but I can appreciate them on others. I am more of a flipflop, tennis shoe, loafer kind of girl but I would love to one day feel confident in some heels. It could happen - just have to wait and see.
B - bananna
L - rotisserie chicken (I am throwing out the rest. I refuse to eat on this chicken one more time after lunch today) and yogurt
S - ??? Going out to Mexican resturant with my two best friends. Probably gonna have more chicken in some form or fashion.
The rest of the weekend was supposed to be filled with my niece's soccer games they needed to make up because of the storms. However, we have over 60 pecent chance of rain for the next five days. Poor baby - she just wants to put on her uniform and play a game! Rain Rain go away - come back another day!
Long, stressful day ahead of me but I'm planning best I can and taking some healthy snacks and lots of water.
Pre B - SF NF Eggnog Latte
B - ham, egg, bite of fruit and 1/4 slice wheat toast
S - turkey jerky
L - hospital cafe food - they have pretty healthy stuff so hoping for salad with meat
S - ?
D - ?
I'm still on my chili/soup kick, so food today will most likely be chili. Not sure why, but I seem to have success losing weight when I eat beans.
Here's a joke for you, this actually happened back when I lived in St. Louis. I was at the upscale neighborhood grocery buying chicken legs on sale. They were a really cheap price, so I bought a lot of them. The grocery clerk rang up the purchase and bagged the items. I said, "These bags are going to be a hassle to carry home, I wish they could walk home by themselves. The clerk replied, "Oh, they can't!" I asked why, and he said, "Because they're chicken!"

Thank you, thank you. I'll be here all week.
Oh, and I'll post my actual food selections later.
