Life Happens

And it's happening big time this weekend! My daughter is swimming in the NJ Special Olympics Summer Games (Go Marlins!!), so I'm spending the weekend at my parents (they live 5 minutes from the site of the games). In addition, I'm eating meals away from home (lunches) and prepared differently than my usual fare (dinners).

Today for lunch they had burgers and dogs. Yuck. My daughter didn't even want any! She begged me to bring her a sandwich. So I got one for myself too. Pulled out some of the bready part of the roll, and asked for only a little mayo. I had that, chips (OK, could have skipped those...) and some grapes. Not bad! Mom's making pork chops for dinner, and I got a potato and some tomatoes at Whole Foods to have along with that. My breakfast and snacks were the usal ones.

I came in range on everything except calories, and even those were only over by less than 200. Not too shabby. Tomorrow we'll go out for lunch, and I'm planning on a salad with grilled chicken. Mom's making Spaghetti Pie for dinner, which is all the things I'm not supposed to be eating (cheese, wheat, eggs) so I'll eat a small portion.

Life happens. Planning ahead really helps to deal with it!

BTW, my little fishy got a gold and a bronze today!!!
