Day 12: Tough Weekend

So I took a little weekend trip, and it was the hardest time I've had with my diet so far. Honestly I never realized how much you eat when you go on a road trip, or at least how much I enjoy eating when I go on a roadtrip. I totally blame my parents (sorry mom & dad) but whenever we go anywhere in the car we have a TON of food, and we love to stop and try new restaurants. I tried to stick to my diet as much as possible, but I made a few substitutions.

On Saturday, I ended up swapping out a bar for some beef jerky. Man have I missed meat. I can now say that I would not make a good vegetarian, I freaking love meat. Then I went to a diner type restaurant called the Pink Cadillac, and it was as amazing as its website. The prices were so crazy low, after being in the city so long, I forgot how cheap it was just 3 hours outside of DC. I decided to have a salad and a cup of chili. I only had half the cup because it was almost entirely meat, but they were both very good.

Today I've almost entirely stuck to the diet, but I did have another small bag of beef jerky. Keep in mind that these bags of beef jerky are actually not bad for me. 120 calories 1.5g of fat 22g of protein. All of my meals are normally 160 calories, so it's a little low on the calories, but it's also low fat & high protein, which is exactly what this diet calls for, my shakes are 160 calories, 3g of fat and 16g of protein, so even though I'm cheating a little (don't ask about the sodium content in the jerky) I think it's still alright.

So while I may have strayed a little, I'm hoping it wasn't too detrimental. Still hoping to lose 4 lbs this week, we shall see how things go on Tuesday!
