As I speak, I am 5 days DD, 711 and Red Bull Free - for the most part. . . .. . . Keep reading to see why I say "For the most part." Its legit, I swear.
so we went to the pork roll festival and Atlantic City on Saturday after my initial blog. I had some tots and a "pork roll" sandwich. I know its Taylor Ham, but it was "Case's" brand pork roll, so technically, its not Taylor Ham. Its the same crap. relax! But i have to be respectful of the name of the festival, and for the day, call it pork roll. At night, we went to AC and had a few drinks and dinner at Carmines.
Sunday, we went to Jengo's BBQ and I had to really fight through one brief moment. ON the way there, we were going to stop and get a dessert to bring. FIrst, i went to Dunkin to get munchkins (Which I was going to not eat ANY of) but the line was REALLY slow. Next door was a 711. I was going to grab an entenmanns cake, which I would not have eaten, since it was from 711, but they were grossly overpriced. So I had to walk into both of my worst places and not get anything. It would have been harder had i actually bought the stuff and had to stare at it all day. Ended up getting cookies at shoprite :-) Had the typical BBQ food amount - which spanned lunch AND dinner. Played lots of cornhole, and had NO beer. well, I had about 3 ounces of a specialty beer that Jengo wanted me to try. Good times!
Monday - Memorial DAy - had Kristyn's dad over for lunch and had some hot dogs and a burger. Was probably too much, but barely had breakfast and wasn't eating til later. Went to Tiki Bar at Pt Pleasant for an 8:00 show with Don't Call Me Francis - the band that will hopefully be playing our wedding :-) On the boardwalk, we stopped at Little Mac's for dinner. Had 2 slices of pizza for dinner. they were not even that great. Kind of disappointing. The pizza was SO MUCH BETTER LAST TIME. I think they are probably better when they are not so busy. Had Kohr's ice cream for snack before the drive home. Can't go to Point without getting Kohrs!
Tuesday was about to be the first really good day for dieting. Back to school, back to cooking breakfast, and back to bringing food for lunch! I went grocery shopping on Monday and got a whole bunch of functional food that will help me not overeat, including drinking lots of water and seltzer. Had a smoothie for breakfast and a granola bar for snack. In the meantime, I forgot that a parent had offered to bring in home made chicken parm for me and her son for lunch today. Well, she was crazy! Brought in 3 trays of chicken parm - thats almost 20 nice thick pieces of chicken parm! Holy Moly! It was awesome - and came with side of pasta and really good italian bread. I had a good amount of it! hahaha. Dinner was at home - had a spicy sausage sandwich, pork veggie pot stickers and some veggies. Add a little light snacking, and not a terrible day. Oh almost forgot - This was Brody's birthday, so we went to the CLif around 10. Had 1 beer and then i had my OOPS moment, which I am not going to count. I ordered a Red Bull and Vodka. Totally thinking of it only as an alcoholic beverage, and not as a means to wake up, I am not counting this red bull. As the bartender said, the liquor cancels out the red bull :-) ahahaha. Totally accidental, and I didn't realize it until I was about 1/3 of the way through the drink, at which point i yelled out "OH SH**!!"
Wednesday was legitimately the first REALLY good day. Smoothie for breakfast, cold cut sandwich for snack. lunch was a salad! You hear it, a salad! Dinner - spicy black bean veggie burger (no bread) with some rice and broccoli. Also had 2 slices of yellow american cheese. Thanks chef Kristyn! I then passed out around 6:30 and didn't get off the couch until 4:30am! I was planning on going to the gym. Oh well . . . . . . . .
All together, this 5 day stretch has seen me drop about half of the weight that I had gained back. If I can knock out the 2nd half in the next week or so, then I will be on track to be down for my trip to Korea - a.k.a. J-DOK - Joe's Diet of Korea! Because I know I will be dropping weight there - since they eat slowly, with chopsticks, and undoubtedly, a lot of foods that I will not like!
Current weight - 213.6 LBS.
Weight loss for the year - 17.5 LBS
