Tomorrow is going to be more of a challenge, I've been putting myself in my safe "no socializing" bubble where it's super easy to be on plan. Tomorrow, we're going with friends to a home show in the convention center (will need snacks to resist whatever crazy snacks are available) - then we're going out with our realtor for a celebration dinner. Ages ago, we picked a nice steak house. So, I'm going to stick to: small steak, veggies, iced tea, no bread, no wine, no dessert, no eating any appetizer. I can do it!
Sunday - well, I think I did okay - TWO social situations.
B - 2 eggs, scrambled with salsa
L - went to Mimi's. I got the melon and chicken salad. Calorie count in the menu was 352 which seemed really low, but I picked out most of the cranberries so I'll take 352. I had two bites of my lemon poppy seed muffin, so will say 400 for lunch total.
S - tall non fat latte
S - at the home show, had two tastes from the Vitamix demo - some kind of soup and a smoothie with chocolate and veggies (surprisingly good, weird color). Very small sample cups.
D - house celebration dinner with our realtor. Did not touch the bread, one glass of red wine, spinach salad (dressing on side), I had the maple glazed pork chops with steamed veggies. Ate half the pork chop, 2 bites of Jason's mango sorbet dessert. Overall, very pleased with myself, probably under 1500 for the day.
Here's what I ate yesterday, just for your interest.
B: 1/2 cup shredded wheat, 1/2 cup 1% milk, 1/2 raw peach.
S: Kashi bar
S2: Kashi bar
L: green salad with 1 can tuna, 1 TBS light balsamic dressing, green olives, 1/2 piece whole grain bread
D: 5 ounce pork chop, cup of broccoli
S: Medifast chocolate crunch bar
L - steak salad with leftover steak from dinner last night,red leaf lettuce, carrot shreddies, grape tomatoes, red cabbage, a crispy onions for crunch, light caesar dressing
S - tangelo
S - string cheese
D - shake and bake pork chop, huge pile of steamed broccoli
Hey guys, I'm back! I am going to attempt a gluten-free diet to see if it helps my tendon problems. This is going to take some work to figure out what I'm allowed to eat or not. Hopefully the diet change will also help me lose some weight. I'm up a couple from vacation -- 141 today. Need to get back to 135.
Monday:
B - oatmeal, cherry butter, walnuts, flax meal, skim milk
L - rice pilaf, sauteed veggies, salmon cakes
S - nectarine, atkins bar
D - baked sweet potato, tex mex chicken veg bean soup
E - dog walk this morning

Ended up not biking to the bike store, because I didn't have time to get there before they closed. In retrospect I'm glad I didn't because I didn't realize the road I would take to get there is closed for construction. I picked up safety lights and a mirror, planning to ride this morning, but then this morning it was raining. Oh well, we needed the rain.

Going out twice today, so will be careful and on plan
B - 2 scrambled eggs with salsa
L - Going out with a friend for lunch, we decided on Panera. Will get one of their yummy salads (dressing on side, of course). I got the Fuji Apple Chicken sandwich with dressing on the side. She ordered and got me the baguette, so I had 2 bites of baguette (to be polite, I would have gotten the apple!). The salad was GREAT - with crunchy apple chips, I gotta make this for work lunches.
S - tangelo
S - string cheese
D - meeting Jason at the Home Depot near our old neighborhood to order some carpet. I want to go to this awesome BBQ place we used to hit a lot. They make this amazing tri-tip salad.
I am going to get the Steak & Blue Cheese Chopped Salad with no cheese and the dressing on the side. Should be able to have a fab salad for 500 calories. Or maybe the Fuji Apple Chicken Salad. With dressing on the side, it's 400.
Allison - Mon and Tues were totally POP for me, and I'm up a pound also.
Wed plan:
B - greek yogurt w/ honey & blueberries, coffee
S - oats a& dark chocolate granola bar
L - grilled chicken salad
S - pear
D - boca spicy chik patty on small bun w/ lettuce, tomato & onion; grapes
S - probably a protein milkshake
E - run after work
Glory - I love the nutrition calculator on the Panera site.
