My eating habits on the weekend pretty much suck, but this weekend I may have really outdone myself. The combination of homework, running a million errands, and trying to fit in the long workouts that I can’t do during the week, pretty much killed any interest I had in making a proper meal.
On Saturday I went for a 10k run with my friend Kelly, and had she not provided me with a post run snack, I probably would have just gone home and had a bowl of cereal.
Red velvet cupcakes are far more appropriate.
Because our run was later in the afternoon, I didn’t really have a proper lunch. I had half a green smoothie before we headed out, and half in the car on the way back home. After I showered, I went to my parents house to do a little homework before we headed off to see The Vow. I planned to make dinner while I was there, but that got too difficult so instead I melted some cheese on Triscuits with pickles.
At the movie I had some strawberry pineapple frozen yogurt, which kind of makes up for my lack of any real food because of the fruit.
The movie was fine btw. It wasn’t exactly disappointing, and I can’t say anything negative about it. I liked it just fine. But the thing with these movies, is that none of them will ever compare to The Notebook, and I guess I always go in expecting them to. This one did make me a little teary, but only a little, and I felt like it needed more. It ended too soon for me, and I just wasn’t ready for it to be over quite yet.
Lunch yesterday looked like this:
See it?
This is what happens when I study at my parents house. You would think that since it is where I grew up, I would know how to find something decent to eat, but they don’t have a single thing that I’m interested in. So every time I go there to do my homework, I eat crackers. Every. Time.
Obviously, crackers aren’t enough food so I wound up making the only thing I could think of – grilled cheese. I had such high hopes for this sandwich too. I filled it with onions, tomatoes, hummus, and this amazing spicy mustard they have. It was going to be so amazing.
Then I forgot about it until I smelled burning.
I was beyond disappointed. It wasn’t entirely inedible, but it sure wasn’t what I had hoped for.
I kind of feel hung over today from eating nothing but crap for the last two days, so I’m almost glad to get back to the week and my regular eating habits.
I need to get it together and figure out a way to eat properly on the weekend. This whole looking forward to Monday thing, I don’t like it.
Welcome! I'd love to hear from you: leah *at* whydeprive *dot* com
Aren’t food hangovers the worst?? I seriously couldn’t stop eating yesterday. It was shameful. Ah well… there’s always next weekend. If only it weren’t so far away…
The weekends are my downfall when it comes to eating, I just seriously can’t stop putting garbage in my mouth.
I am so bad on the weekends, it’s really pathetic. But I figure I work so hard to eat good food during the week, you have to treat yourself. I try not to go too crazy, but it happens. You just can’t dwell on things like double bacon cheeseburgers and fries from Five Guys. I mean… what..
Remember how I totally learned that eating bad food/not healthy food too much makes you depressed? That lesson sucked.
I ate every morsel of food I could shove into my mouth this weekend. It was disgusting. The cupcake looks happy though, and yay for a 10K!
I’m feeling very off due to what I ingested over the weekend, too. I DID manage to make some kale chips last night, but that probably doesn’t make up for the chips, biscuits, gravy, nachos, etc that made up the majority of my diet. Whoops. Also, cheese+Triscuits+pickles = dairy+whole grain+vegetable, no? Totally excusable.
I’m RIGHT THERE with you. I eat like crap often on weekends and this one was especially bad. I have a bit of a tummy ache today and I think it’s from having so much sugar and rich foods over the weekend! Definitely trying to get back on the healthy eating train today and this week in general.
That cupcake DOES look amazing though…
I cried during The Vow. I agree, though…it was good, but it wasn’t AMAZING. There’s just no comparing to The Notebook, I guess! As for weekend eats…I’m so there with you. If there were no weekends, I may be thin, even!
Ugh, I hate burning sandwiches…but I do love triscuits and cheese. One of my favorite snacks. I’m feeling you on the weekend eating…I sometimes fail to make real meals too! I hope you had a great start to your week. I spent mine baking and writing…a much needed day of rest. Thank you for sharing yet another delicious post!
It definitely had potential. So sad it ended badly. Crackers are good with hummus too.
