Weekend (food) recap.

Tuesday, 13 April 2010 | 04:04 pm

I haven’t done this in a while and I think I really need to post these weekly food updates to keep track of my nutrition. I’m gonna cheat a bit, too cos I’m including what I ate today (Tuesday) as part of the weekend. >_<

Friday
After my 10-miler, I had some of the pasta I made the night before as a recovery meal. Unfortunately, a few hours later, I was soooo hungry that I gave in to a Pizza Hut advert on telly: $10 for any large pizza — any toppings! Ahhh. Doesn’t it look scrumptious?!

Saturday
Brekkers was a breakfast sausage patty with scrambled eggs and half a toasted (plain) bagel. Lunch was a different beast on its own. I went overboard (as I tend to do with ordering food) and got the Chili Cheese Fries with everything on it. I also ordered a regular hotdog but ended up trashing that the next day… Untouched, even :(

For supper, I went conservative (sort of!) and just had a carne asada taco with a BIG serving of Pomegranate margarita >_< Yeah, that’s conservative for you. LOL.

Sunday
The usual brekkers (cos it was free!) of scrambled eggs, toasted bagel and sausage patty. Lunch was actually a “healthy” roast beef sammich from Erick Schat’s Bakkery in Bishop, CA. Yesh, it had veggies, and alfalfa, lol and other good stuff. Did I mention it was on wheat bread, too?

Supper was, well, I don’t have any photos from Sunday’s supper, but it was a mixture of spicy meatballs, fries and two glasses of Pinot Noir from The Side Door bar in Manhattan Beach. Ahhh.

Monday
Breh. If Friday was bad, Monday was equally as bad since I had 3 slices of the same pizza from Friday. LOL. This is why I shouldn’t order a large pizza if there are only two people eating it during the week! >_<

Today
Brekkers was the usual oatmeal with dehydrated strawberries and lunch was supposed to be my fav Big Mista’s BBQ brisket sarnie buuuuut, I was unable to go out for a lunchtime run so I totally didn’t deserve it ;) Instead, I had to look at what we have in the fridge and pantry (I really need to go grocery shopping!) and made this tasty impromptu, er, meal

What issit? Well, I had some canned salmon left, canned corn and some baby carrots. I nuked the lot, sprinkled a bit of mum’s truffle oil and then dug in. LOL. It was actually satisfying… Not a brisket sarnie but it filled me up and the truffle oil really made a big difference. :)

So there you have it. My “weekend” food recap. As posted before, I’ve already resolved to eating what I want but in moderation. Still, I’d like to incorporate more whole grains and veggies into my daily meals. After all, I want to keep running until I’m like, 80! Hehehe.

ThinkGeek’s WoAH. Brisket Sarnie.

I was pleasantly surprised to find out this morning (upon checking the Tweets on my feed [or issit feeds on my tweets?]) that my fav geeky store, ThinkGeek received my submission for the “Wall of Awesome Happiness.” Yesh, I am a geek and not only did I enter that “contest” (btw, dunno if I get the schwag yet), but I also handmade my entry:

It took me about 3 hours to complete (using Sharpie pens and pencils) and then mail off the pieces above, each card with its own stamp! :) I actually won’t be bothered if I don’t win — just knowing that something I created made it through the Post (and that they “got” what the pieces are for) was reward enough.. But really, I wanna win the goodies!

In other news, it’s not the weekend yet and I’ve fallen off my healthy eating bandwagon again. >_< See the deliciousness of my Big Mista Brisket sandwich below.

Had it for lunch after my blotched 3 mile run at the park. :) Ahhhh.

Weekend (food) recap.

Sunday, 07 March 2010 | 07:52 pm

The weekend isn’t over and I feel like– nay, am compelled to share my fall from nutritional grace once more >_< It’s the third week in a row and I just really can’t help myself sometimes. Ack. So here we go — it’s actually getting better (sorta) but definitely still needs a LOT of discipline to kick the unhealthy eating habit.

Friday
Brekkers: tea
Lunch: “Takumi” meal from Sushi Boy
Snack: Whole wheat bread (yay!) with Nutella (aw…)
Supper: Minestrone soup, garden salad and half a serving of Vince’s Spaghetti (first time @ Vince’s of Torrance and it was pretty good!)

Saturday
Brekkers: 2 packets of oatmeal with brown sugar and dehydrated strawberries (which reminds me, I need to buy more strawberries), cup of black coffee (Dunkin’ Donuts Hazelnut — deeelish!)
Lunch: Mushroom burger (that’s mushrooms onnatopp of a burger!) with FRIES (AHHHH! See below)
Supper: The remaining portion of my spaghetti, this time, with meatballs

Sunday
Brekkers: Honey Nut Cheerios (YAY!) and a cup of tea
Snack: BBQ chicken quesadilla (home made!) and salsa (store-bought)
Snack 2: Popcorn with movie theatre “butter”
Snack 3: Nachos >_<
Snack 4: Chicken tenders and fries + some rootbeer (ahhhh!)
Supper: TBD (most likely Cheerios again) The remaining portion of my mushroom burger and fries

I can’t seem to shake off the deep fried food craving >_< It’s funny though, cos I didn’t realise I eat this much fried food (during the weekend, anyway) until starting these food recaps! LOL. Anyway, I’m hoping to really stick to a relatively nutritious diet this week and next weekend.
