I haven’t posted in a few days, but it’s not because I’ve fallen off the wagon. I went with my husband to his national guard’s weekend and wasn’t near a computer. Things are going well, for the most part. Unfortunately, I haven’t been all that adherent to plan, but I made good choices, so I’ve still lost quite a bit of weight (five pounds, I think, but we’ll see at WI tomorrow).
I packed food to take and everything, but I unfortunately didn’t eat any of it (didn’t stay cold in the cooler, and I didn’t want to take a chance with bad chicken). So I tried the new KFC grilled chicken, and it was pretty tasty. I didn’t have any sides, so that all went fine. On Saturday evening, I did eat out at Texas Roadhouse, and I had a grilled chicken caesar salad (and about six rolls, I think– ugh). I ate that much because I didn’t have anything for lunch, and I only had a piece of low cal toast with .5 oz. of cheese and half an orange for breakfast. So, calorie-wise, I still had a deficit. Last night we ate at Chili’s, and I pretty much stuck to plan with fajitas (minus all the side-plate gunk that I don’t like anyhow).
Today was also a little rough. I skipped lunch because I was so busy (this is becoming a habit that I need to break). Dinner was with friends, but skipping the long story of how this came about, I only had a very small turkey sandwich and a small scoop of mashed potatoes (very small, and $9, so I wasn’t too happy). I ate a granola bar at home because I’m still starved. I know I’m going to have to eat something else tonight, but I’m going to hold off until my DH gets home from work so we can have a fun midnight snack run together. It won’t be too diet friendly, but I worked out today, and my calories are still super low.
Tomorrow is another diet trap– a professor’s house for drinks and tapas, and I’m probably going to Indy with DH to get some free birthday stir-fry at BD’s mongolian BBQ. Stir fry isn’t too bad for me, and I’ll just try not to eat a ton at either place. Then Weds. is back to the program. I don’t have any foreseeable events after that, so hopefully things will settle down a bit.
weight at home: 165.5 (my lowest was 159.5, so I’m getting closer!!)

Wow, your weight is really good! And you’re doing well staying focused and doing the best you can even when there are challenges looming. BD’s sounds good - and it’s actually not that bad for you - provided you skip the rice and tortillas.

I am encouraged by reading your MRC journey. Please keep posting. I have been absent from MRC since Nov 08 but believe I am at a point where I can successfully restart. I wish eating was not important in my life….
