So some interesting things have and haven't happened.

Last night I went out to dinner for the first time since starting to try and lose weight again. I had been thinking, planning (obsessing) about going to applebees and not trying to inhale everything on the menu. So here is how it went down.

I ate fine all day, but I'm used to eating dinner at around 7 when I get home. dinner wasn't till 8 and even then i would have to wait for the food tome come....Not gonna happen, so I went to wendy's and had 2 orders of chicken nuggets. No sides and I drank water. It took the end off. At the restaurant I had a steak and some potatoes (not mashed potatoes) with onions and mushrooms, and Seltzer water. Oh yeah for an appetizer I had the little chicken tacos with Asian slaw. At the end of this I didn't feel full and I was satisfied. No idea what the calorie count was, but I feel like it was a step in the right directions.

Usually I would have had 2 mini cheese burgers and a fountain soda, and then the boneless buffalo wings with the sauce...all of it and steak with loaded mashed potatoes, and a dessert. I would have barely been able to breathe with all the food and justified it with saying well its only one meal (insert eye roll here)

So I am a bad overeater...but I am making progress.

No working out today since I am doing a favor for someone and came into work early.

Weigh in day is wednesday.

The last time I was really focused on weight loss. I ate pretty much the same few things for six months (english muffins, lean cuisine, crustless quiche). This time I am trying to keep to some variety.

So I my goal is to make the following

pasta with pesto (take to work for lunch) (replace the lean cuisines. I'm not a big past person, but I am eating it in the lean cuisine and I want to try it with less sauce and more veggies)

lentils and spinach (dinner)

thai fish cakes (dinner snack)

greek lamb patties(dinner)

honey lime chicken (dinner)

(sauteed red cabbage) (tired of steamed broccoli)

I'm tired of salad. Or at least me making them, and even reading about them in foodie magazines doesn't inspire me to make one at home.

Anyway, we'll see how everything falls out.

The test this weekend is going home to visit my family where I am sure to have some falling off the wagon issues.

Another reason weigh in day is Wednesday, I get mon-wed to get back on the wagon

Yeah I know not so good.

Well this week end been a little wacky. I didn't eat anything I planned to eat. I didn't over eat and I think I made good choices all week. I only exercised once this week which I'm not entirely happy with, but I'm ok with that too. Back at it tomorrow (Saturday). So anyway. I know I haven't had the big 3-4 weight loss I had been having so I jumped on the scale. I'm down a pound( to 333) . Its nice because I haven't gained, but I would like to be firmly in the 320s by the end of the month. I have managed to stick to my lent goals with the exception of the 2 beef meals I've had. I will admit Applebees has been calling and it was rough avoiding the scallops with bacon but I'm ok. Funny who I can ignore the Ben and Jerry's and not the scallops. I wonder if it will get easier. Happy that I am not forming any new attachments with food. I do have a craving for hooter, but I think their salads (if you can call it that, more like salad dressi...

Wacky Scale, My Krptonite

Well I haven't posted in a while. Seems like I learn something new everyday. I went to my parents this weekend and just ate. I don't think I overate as much as I normally would have, but I ate more than I should have. I also had a few days where I went over my 2000 calories, but since I need 3000 to maintain my current weight I am still pretty ok. I kinda fell of the excercise wagon. I am trying to build up to Mon-Fri and weekendos off but just can't seem to get motivated to workout as soon as I get home. I have a part time job at night starting thursdays so we'll see what happens. I am guessing I am going to have to adjust to nights. So I weigh myself twice a month I know I have lost inches because the black jean that were once super tight even after I wore them a few times are now pretty lose. So thats night. But here is more proof the scale is wacky. Weighed myself last night 345. I didn't gain or lose. Weighed myself this morning after first bathroom t...

Darn you to Heck Indian Food.

So yesterday I had lunch with my best friend.  She's smaller than me, but still heavy.  We went out to an Indian Buffet and I should have just ordered something from the menu, but I didn't want to spend to much since we were splitting the bill and had the buffet BAD MOVE.  It was all creamy sauce stuff which really begs to be poured over rice.  I was trying to pour it over the cauliflower dish, but that had potatoes in it.  I ended up just saying eff it and eating the cauliflower with a little potatoe.  Then my flawles logic *heavy sarcasm* said well if I'mma cheat go ahead and have the rice too.  I then had like 4 glasses of water.  I don't feel like I ate alot, the problem is I ate because of self peer pressure. I think of course wanted to punish myself and was going to make myself to a really hard workout today, but thought.  Ok I don't really want to do it...and I don't want to NOT workout because I don't want to do the work out.  ...
