Food update - Day 43 and 44; Reality is Setting in.

I'm going to sound like a broken record here, but the weekends ARE MY NEMESIS.  I go head to head with this nasty bitch each week, and it wins.  Every time.

I'm sitting around, watching the closing ceremonies, and I feel like a fat bastard.  There's way too much food in ma' beh-lay.  I'm presented with food based decisions each and every Friday and Saturday night, and I literally crumble under the pressure.  I'm a loser.

It's like I become an orangutan on the weekend.  I need someone to come hold my hand, seriously.

Oh, and why does frickin beer have so many Calories??  How is any self-respecting Man of the City supposed to go out and tie one on while still maintaing weight loss goals??  I don't get it.  5 weeks in to this thing, and I'm like WAAAAY tired of Michelob Ultra and Amstel Light. 

This is getting hard.

Friday:
nutrigrain bar = 130 cal.
Subway 6" chicken breast (no cheese, friends. you won't even miss it) = 320 cal.
bag o' baked Lays = 140 cal.
1/2 Turkey wrap (Panini's, blah.) = 175 cal.
side of potato chips = 225 cal.
pretzels = 120 cal.
Frito dip = 500 cal.??
Michelob Ultra 8 @95 = 760 cal.

Friday Grand Total = 2370 Calories.  Holy Jesus it hurts to type that.  What a fat ass.  You just can't eat anything these days.

Saturday didn't really get any better.

Saturday food:
nutrigrain bar = 130 calories
1/2 Baked Brie appetizer (it wasn't all that massive) = 200 ish cal.
Vegetable Boxty (Irish potato pancake thingy; def. had to Google this one) = 200 cal.
side of mashed potatoes = 150 cal.
Harp lager 3 @ 140 = 420 cal.
Miller Light = 95 cal.
Piraat Belgian Ale 3 @ 200 (great friggin beverage. extra tasty and 10.5% alcohol) = 600 cal.
pretzels = 150 cal.

Weekend activities: I hit the Jim on Saturday.  GREAT workout.  Good run, followed up by another 15 minutes on the elliptical.  I did a fair amount of shovelling snow before that, and we all know that turned out to be a waste....the snow magically reappeared Sunday morning.

Saturday Grand Total = 1945 Calories

Oy vei.  That's a lot of shizz.  That's what eating at Sullivan's (quality Irish joint in Lakewood) and going out to Bier Markt will do for you.

This essentially translates into a Mammoth Fail on my part this weekend.  I'm sorry, friends.

I'm scared for my Tuesday weigh in.  I need some help here.  I may have to lop off one of my arms or something...

Well, I have one more day.  One more day to end this week strong, eat smart, and get in a solid workout.
