ACDA Follow Up

I know, I know, it's been days since I've posted anything, even after bringing my laptop to G's and having every intention of dutifully reporting every morsel I ate and step I took while in Philly. Despite weighing in 2 days late and eating out every meal for the past 3 days, I still managed to lose 1 pound this week, which is better than nothing, but still doesn't put me at the 5 pound mark I was hoping for.

I feel that I did GREAT with eating while at the convention. There weren't always super healthy choices, but I did well controlling how much I ate and didn't bring leftovers home. Not to mention that we did an insane amount of walking in snow and slush every day.

Thursday:

• Lunch - Grabbed something quick at the Reading Terminal Market. I had some kind of turkey BLT thing with wheat bread and removed half the turkey from the sandwich.
• Dinner - Fancy-shmance dinner at a seafood restaurant called Devon in Rittenhouse Square. 2 glasses of wine, 1 biscuit, shared calamari with 2 other people, and had some kind of seafood sampler for dinner with salmon, shrimp, scallops, a crab cake, and mashed potatoes. I ate about 2/3 of the plate.
• I also think I had a martini somewhere in the afternoon.
  

Friday:

• Lunch - Met my sister with G for lunch at Reading Terminal Market and ordered soup and a sandwich. I had maybe 5 bites of the soup (it was gross) and a chicken caprese sandwich with tomato, chicken, mozzerella, and pesto. I ate 2/3 of the sandwich.
• Dinner - Went to Chilis with friends from college. I had a miller light and ordered the chicken quesadillas (with sour cream and guacamole), but only ate half. And I ate the rice on the plate, too. Later that night I also had a martini and had some sour patch kids. (Not at the same time).
  

Saturday:

• Lunch - Went to Maggiano's with G and a friend of ours. Shared the caprese salad (literally a slice and a half of tomato, a slice and a half of mozzerella, and some balsamic vinegar) and the gnocchi with G. Oh, and 2 small pieces of bread.
• Dinner - "Feast of the East" closing reception with foods representing each state in the Eastern Division of ACDA (it was very cool!). I had a mini soft pretzel, a mini chicken cheesesteak (without eating the bun), a crab cake slider (without the bun), and various veggies, dips, etc. Also had one Tasty Cake and a miller light. Later, I had some popcorn and sour patch kids. (Yes, at the same time).

Maybe I'll write more about the convention at some point..? It was a B- at best.
