Snack, Workout, Dinner

So I ended up missing my lunch timeslot, so I waited until after snack for my first workout.

Snack was a delightful bag of Sour Cream and Onion Soy Chips, which I thoroughly enjoyed.

Unfortunately, as I started to finish my first weight set, I kind of hit a wall on my left arm, so I decided to take a break and go eat dinner.

And what a dinner it was!  Unfortunately, I did not remember to bring my camera out with me, so I didn't capture my Memorial Day BBQ food , but I can enumerate my sin for you.  I had 2 Nathan's hot dogs grilled, on buns, with brown mustard, sweet peppers, and sliced tomato, along with 1.5 servings of reduced fat Utz potato chips.  I measured out 2 servings of potato chips, but decided against eating all of it (yes, I weighed my plate before and after consumption.  I also had a handful of strawberries sweetened with Splenda, since they were there and I couldn't find any vegetables I wanted to eat

Things I did wrong:
 -I should not have had chips at all.
 -I should have had a vegetable.  Unfortunately, we're a bit thin on them right now, and I need to go to the supermarket tomorrow.
 -I should not have had buns.  Buns are delicious, but fairly caloric for what is essentially window dressing and a delivery system for a bit of meat.

Things I did right:
-I limited what I could eat going in to what a reasonable person should eat.  This is definitely more true than with the bratwurst incident Friday, where I definitely did not do this, and ended up eating god knows how many chips and 3 bratwurst (which would probably be equivalent to 5-6 hot dogs)
 -I didn't clean my plate.  I realized that I was full, and I didn't really need to eat the other half of that serving of potato chips, and, most importantly, didn't go ahead and eat them anyway.
 -I ate some strawberries.  I have no illusions about this being a balanced meal in any way, shape or form, but at least I had some plant matter involved in the whole procedure.

All in all, it's a far better outcome than most grilling experiences in my history.  My calculations put my calories at right around 750 for the meal, which could easily have gone much worse.  Clearly, I just need to go and work my ass off on the Wii, and continue to work my ass off tomorrow.




So I ended up not quite managing to work out this evening, unfortunately, so I'm going to grab a quick shower and go to bed, to better reset my clock tomorrow morning.
