The weekend is here again. This is a particularly difficult time for me. My husband is home and we have errands to run. We eat out, usually when we are past the hungry stage. That means I might eat or try to eat foods that aren't good for me, usually carbohydrates or foods that don't go down very easily.

This weekend I will be at a conference in Chicago. I don't know what food choices I will have. But I do have a plan. I will make meat or protein choices.

My food choices from today:

Breakfast: bacon, 3 slices, cup hot chocolate

Lunch: beans, ground beef and peas, can soda

Snack: decaf coffee (Frap)

Dinner: can Campbell's chicken and rice soup (I don't feel good tonight)

I have noticed that I don't drink nearly enough water or any real water at all. Second, I drink way too much coffee, especially those types WITH calories. I think if I cut those out again, I'll lose weight right away. I think they have a lot of liquid calories, though I never asked the company for the nutrition information. I should ask one day.

Plans for Saturday at the conference:

breakfast: vitamins, water

lunch: McDonald's cheeseburger, no bread; diet drink or water

dinner: some kind of meat: Mexican steak or arrachera, drink

I plan to drink more water. I'll update on how much I actually drank all day.
