Toot toot - S.S. Failboat

So the weekend started out not so bad - went to the gym on Friday and had a stellar workout. Ran my C25K week 1 program, then biked for 15 minutes on the stationary. I got in some ab work and did some stretching. Then I went to the store and picked up some stuff to make healthy foods with this weekend. T met me there and it seemed like we had an abundance of yummy, healthy food to last us the weekend. 
By the time we got home I had scrapped the idea that I was going to make a meal - I needed to shower, I REALLY needed to eat after gymming and then the market (and then subsequently waiting for a cab) so I figured we'd eat our pizza on Friday and I'd make my
 Chicken/Apple/Potato scramble Saturday. 

The pizza came out pretty good. I used a whole Boboli crust, some pizza sauce, 2% mozzarella and grilled chicken. Throw
 on some extra basil and oregano plus some crushed red pepper and I daresay it was a very satisfying meal indeed. I had 1/4 of the pizza (2 yummy slices) and we saved the rest for lunch the next day.

Summary:

2 slices of homemade pizza made with: 
1 Boboli crust cut into 8 slices
Jarred pizza sauce (about 1/2 cup for the whole pizza) 
2% mozzarella (about 1/2 cup for the whole pizza) 
Perdue grilled chicken short-cuts, Italian style (approximately half a package for the whole pizza) 

In the morning we woke up pretty hungry and I couldn't really decide what to eat so I figured I'd eat some of T's Oh's! cereal and milk but that instead of pouring a massive bowl and drown it in milk (it wasn't even my tried and true fat free milk but rather 2%) that I'd be a good girl and
 measure out portions. To make sure I got in some yummies I added a small bowl of blueberries that were quite tasty-licious. I have to say it was a pretty delicious breakfast - it had been SO long since I had had Oh's! and the crunchy sweetness was just wonderful. Not the best choice of breakfasts, but still not too bad. 

Summary:

1/3 cup blueberries
3/4 cup Oh's! cereal
3/4 cup 2% milk 

Lunch consisted of two slices of the same pizza from the night prior. No need to post the picture because well...I didn't take any more pictures of any of the food I ate for the rest of the weekend. Most likely out of shame. Here's why:

Saturday night I came to the conclusion that I wanted wings. Juicy, spicy wings. We ordered from a place down the street for delivery and got an order of 25 wings, mixed and matched with Ultra mega hot types for me and garlic parmesan and honey BBQ for T. We also ordered a large fry and ranch. I at least got a diet Coke. I probably ate...I dunno, easily half the fries, my container of ranch and about 7-8 wings. To be honest the wings were good but the sauce wasn't my favorite - but food is food and I love wings in general so there you have it. 

The next day (Sunday) I had a little bit of what cereal was left and milk - I didn't measure but it was probably less than what I had had the day before, especially the milk. We decided to get our asses in gear and head out to the mall for a stroll and to check to see if they had my speakers anywhere but no, they didn't (I did however make a pit stop at Sephora for some under-eye corrector so the whole trip wasn't a waste). At this point we were hungry so T wanted some Taco Bell, and I followed. I ordered a chicken quesadilla, soft taco with no lettuce but with sour cream (a fair trade right? okay...) and a diet Pepsi. I also ate one of T's nachos. 

The really bad part about the whole thing was that as we were eating we started to look at the bus schedule and realized we wouldn't be able to make it to the skating rink in time, especially since we had to stop back at the house to get my skates. So not only had I eaten like a piggy, I wasn't getting any exercise either. Oops. 

To crown the weekend, I decided to get a large coffee from Dunkin Donuts with cream and sugar (something I haven't done in a month) and the caffeine had me cracked out for the rest of the night. I haven't had much in the way of caffeine at all over the past few weeks save for the treat soda every so often so this was a mega shock to my system. When we got back to the house T took a nap and my roommates came home. Instead of making a nice, healthy meal for all of us (remember that I bought healthy nummies on Friday? Yeah I forgot about that too) I reheated the rest of the wings for T and I - I had 5, he had 6 - and then I made a package of Pillsbury crescent rolls. I ate 3.5 of them. 

Needless today I need to figure out something to do about my weekend insanity. I can't blame T - the wings were my idea and I had plenty of things to make at home. Plus at the mall I could have gone to Au Bon Pain and gotten a salad or something. I have no one to blame but myself for the scale being up this morning (although to be fair it was up all weekend) and my tummy being relatively upset this morning is kind of a lesson learned. 

Of course I say this every weekend and nothing changes. Something will have to give sooner or later because weekends of girly gluttony are only going to hurt me in the long run.
