Day 3 - January 3, 2013 - Om-e-let you read this one for yourself. . . .

Starting Weight - 228.5
Total Loss so far - 1.7 lbs.

I need to get new batteries for my scale because it takes me about 90 seconds to get it to not say "LO" when i try to use it.  And I am Certainly sure that "LO" is not talking about my weight.

Breakfast - Home made omelet with 1 whole egg, 2 egg whites, peppers, and sausage.  Also had a large glass of orange juice.

 Lunch - Had a Chef salad (made at home)- Iceberg Lettuce, Chick Peas, Cucumbers, a few sunflower seeds, Shredded cheddar cheese, low sodium ham, and low sodium turkey with red wine vinegar.  Its all the things i like in salad, except maybe grilled chicken and bacon. :-)  Had a bottle of water with it.  I'm full!  I hope the fullness lasts more than 20 minutes :-)

Did some exercise today - it was sort of forced - shoveled show for about 45 minutes.  I am ready to get back to the exercising though, for real.  Problem was that I threw out my back playing racquetball last week.  I think its ok now, so maybe this weekend i'll get back to the gym.

Snacking - Went to Bob's place today to do some snow tubing.  Was a great time.  Did a little bit of snacking while there, but nothing crazy.  Had 1 Heineken, a few sips of Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey, some homemade soup made of sweet potatoes, black beans, and some other schtuff, and some chips.  Not a lot of them, just some.  Also had a few rice cakes before leaving home, but this was hours ago

Dinner - Went to BIVIO.  This is a great brick-oven pizza restaurant in Little Falls that a buddy of mine, Tom Colao has had for 2+ years.  The pizzas are amazing, and they are a good size for one person to eat. (well, maybe, just maybe, i should have eaten 3/4 of the pie instead of the whole thing, but really, it is not huge. Perfect size for a meal, if you ask me)  Anyway, had 1 meatball as an appetizer.  

If you haven't been to Bivio, you need to go there and try it.  Tom works his butt off at the oven making each and every pie.  We had the Margherita Pie and a specialty pie they were doing with sausage and sundried peppers.  All I can say is "WOW!!!"  I had been there when they first opened, and regret that I had not been back until tonight.  I need to make sure to get back there more often.  And for the record, the meatballs were great too.  I'm generally 50/50 on whether i like meatballs at places, but these were made to perfection and came with a scoop of Ricotta Cheese with it, a great touch that pushed those meatballs over the edge for me!  Good texture, nice taste, nice flavorful gravy.  Drank a ton of water with this meal.

WHAT I DIDN"T EAT TODAY:

Can't say that much actually.  I loved my breakfast and lunch.  ate whenever i needed to.  There was an extra slice of pizza on Kristyn's plate that i probably would have destroyed normally, but instead i told Tim to take it home for leftovers.  I would have probably had 3-4 beers normally at Bob's house, but i remembered my rule of not drinking "just for the sake of having a beer."  So i laid off and actually asked Sue for a SELTZER instead!   so in the end, today all i cut out was really a small slice of pizza and 3 beers.  Unless you count the fact that I really want to eat something right now, and I'm not because i said no snacking this late!
