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.
