Weekend Woes

It is difficult to stay on track when I travel.  I went on a quick trip to SLC for a baby shower.  For some reason I have a habit of getting a treat at each stop and snacking the whole way.  It's such a bad habit.  I'm not even hungry, but driving = snacking.   Needless to say, I chewed a lot of gum.  The baby shower had those yummy chicken salad sandwiches, peanut M&M's (my favorite), chips, eclairs, and other tasty treats.  Thankfully, there were some veggies, so I just snacked on those.

It was also my brother in law's birthday.  He loves to go to Bonsai, which has hibachi style food. They cook that healthy chicken in ten pounds of butter.  Ok, maybe not that much, but a lot of butter.  The vegetables are soaked in the same delicious goodness and I did partake.  Afterward I went to the gym and worked my butt off.  

Today was the Superbowl.  Like many households, we have a variety of food out for the game.  In order to avoid all the traditional food, I made a vegetable platter and BBQ chicken.  The chicken was delicious and I was happy to see that all the vegetables were gone at the end of the game.  My kids really enjoyed them.  It is also nice not to feel guilty for overeating.
