Just got home from the convention and I am bone tired...  Here is my food for the day:

28 oz diet peach Snapple
Iced venti sugar free vanilla 2% latte
B:  Jimmy Dean turkey sausage, egg white, cheese whole wheat bagel
L:  Lean Cuisine herb roasted chicken with vegetables
D:  1/2 whole wheat tortilla wrap with greens, carrots, tomato, swiss cheese, chicken, avocado, honey mustard dressing (probably about 1/2 tbsp) and 3-4 french fries
S:  Pure Protein Chocolate Deluxe Bar
12 oz water

I then danced vigorously for about 30 minutes.  In a previous post I had said that my line in the sand tonight would be no sugar/no fried.  I remembered that after the third french fry.  I am letting you all know this to stay accountable.  I feel like a huge success tonight.  It has been a long time since I have stayed in a responsible place with my food on a Friday night, let alone when I am away in a social setting.  I really feel that this challenge is helping me immensely.  I will be back at the convention tomorrow.  This wrap sandwich that the hotel restaurant serves seems to be the best thing going for me.  I will also bring a protein bar and tomorrow drink more water.

Night everyone :)

Thursday and Friday were really terrible eating days;  couldn't do a routine at all as I was having
a chemical stress test which meant I had to be fasting for 7 hrs prior to the test and the tests were
both at 1:30 PM!! 

So I could eat my normal breakfast, but couldn't have ANY caffeine (argh!) for 24 hours previous.

Then that took me for seven hours before the test and then another 2 hours for the tests them-  selves, so it was after 3 PM before I could eat again.  I was really worried about my tendency to
RH, so I took a couple of Clif Bars (240 cal, 10 g protein) which I ate immediately I was finished.

Then of course the actual injections tired me out, for some reason, and I slept like a log when I
finally got home.  Throws my whole day off when that happens!

I found myself snacking, not able to do a focused meal, so I tried to keep it protein first, even if I
did eat at odd hours.

I really want to get back to the gym for strength training, but I have to wait for the results of the
tests before I do.  I have my consult with my PCP next week, and hopefully will be able to get
back into working out then.

Wish me luck!!
