A good weekend overall. We ate lunch out at a very average Mexican restaurant, so there was a little bit of high fat. I won't be eating there again. Everything tasted like Lowry's Seasoning Salt, but their hot sauce was good.
On otter pops. They are a cold, sweet, lo-fat, lo-cal treat. I allow myself 3-5 a day during this horrible heat. I am not handling the heat very well at all. It exacerbates my supra-ventricular tachycardia and makes me feel kind of gaspy. But they do have sugar, and I know it isn't the best. Oh, well. It's been years since I had them, and I'm finding them just the thing this summer. Banana Nice Cream is delicious, but it's thicker and gloppy, not light and sweet and melty like Otterpops.
On fresh fruit. I got thinking about that this morning. In the summer, fruit comes in season. If we are eating seasonally, aren't we going to eat more than two fruit a day? So far I haven't, but if watermelon were in the equation, nothing else matters. I would eat it all.
Talk about low calorie density.
Anyway, I'm proud of myself with the weekend being as moderate as it was. The only thing I could have done better, that I thought about and then didn't, was the 1/3 to 1/2 of my plate being non-starchies. I'm going to do better with that. But I sure do feel good, other than the sun trying to kill me.
EDIT"
Forgot about this: a family reunion this afternoon, after work. We always order Subway for the gang, with a tray of non-meat selections, which is good. And people bring salads and sides...Plan of action: forego the chips, choose the salad(s) that aren't pre-dressed, eat lots of watermelon!
and participate in the water fight. Possibly go home and get my oil free salad dressing to bring. It will be McDougall compliant, but most likely not MWL.
