Weekend eats on a Thursday

In my vast years of dieting I have always heard people complain that they do really well through the week, but blow it all on the weekend. Weekends are when people go out, drink too much, eat too much, etc. It makes complete sense to me.

But, I'm exactly the opposite. I sleep in, don't snack, workout more, and am always on the move. Even when I do go out, I don't really get all that wild and crazy. Usually because I still have to drive myself home to the 'burbs.

To demonstrate, I tried to record a typical weekend day. Well, a sort of typical day. I orginally had plans to go out on Sunday so I ended up staying in on Saturday. So, I guess this is typical if I stay in.

I ended up eating in between a crap-load of chores (I seriously neglected them for a few weeks), errands, some family time, and a 3 mile run. The only things not shown are the chocolate protein shake made with vanilla soy milk in between lunch and dinner and the mint ice cream sandwich I ate for dessert.

Overeasy eggs cooked in a smidge of butter w/ grits and 2 slices of center cut bacon. It was a little beige, but I was out of my usual whole wheat toast.


Turkey, spicy mustard and lettuce on whole wheat bread with an apple. I had bread because I finally went grocery shopping.


And finally, spicy tuna roll, orange and a Newcastle. Random, but tasty.

It was actually pretty tough to remember to take pictures of my food on the weekends, especially. I make some pretty awesome food that rarely gets seen, and that's a shame. I'll have to try to remember to record my weekend eats more often.

How do your weekends compare to your weekdays?
