Day 9 - Out All Day - What Will I Do?

Starting weight: -3.4 pounds total.  (-0.2 from yesterday)

Today is going to be rough because I have to go down the shore to help out my dad and I will be out basically from when I wake up until a late dinner.  Let's see how this goes:

Breakfast: 6:00am - Cheerios and 2%  Milk - at 6am.  BTW, I gotta get some new cheerios.  These are kinda stale and it was not really enjoyable. 


Ya know, I forgot how unsatisfying some cheerios would be 3 hours later.  I was STARVING by 9am.  Somehow, I pushed through without anything else though.  Mostly because there was no food where we were  and we had no time to get more!

Lunch:  11:30am - Leftover Pork and egg noodles from last night.  Yup, I actually brought lunch with me to my dad's house.  We had a break in between doctor appointments and everything else we had to do and I actually ate the food I brought.  Now this was a much smaller portion than I had eaten the night before.  Again, I underestimated how much of a struggle that would be!  I should have brought some snacks!

Snacking:  At 2pm, I had a granola bar.  At 4:30pm I had a granola bar.  :-)  I had to!  I couldn't go any longer and I knew I still had to drive home in Parkway traffic before eating dinner!



Dinner:  8:00pm - So as i cooked dinner, my stomach was eating itself.  I ended up having 4 chips and a rice krispie treat while I was waiting.  :-) 
For actual dinner, I made some food on the grill.  This was our big anniversary dinner! 
I ended up having 2 chicken breast w/Guy Fieri bbq sauce, a baked potato with butter and corn on the cob with salt & pepper.  It was pretty awesome.  First time I ever actually let some chicken marinate over night in something and it really paid off!  I guess I'll be doing that more often!


Snacking: For the rest of the night, since dinner was a little late, I was a good boy.  I had 18 goldfish, which is 1/3 of a serving.  Believe it or not, it was just enough to get me through. 

So today was a real test!  I had no idea if I was going to make it through a day like this without completely blowing my plan.  I had SERIOUS thoughts of stopping for pizza at least twice and I was ready to go out to eat for lunch with dad - I guarantee I would have eaten something healthy, but it still would have broken my streak, so I'm glad that he decided/agreed to eat at home.

Tomorrow should be easier since A) I'll be home and B) I have leftover BBQ chicken to eat!!!  WAHOO!

Catch you then.  Thanks for reading and sorry if this post was not as entertaining as the others.  I gotta go get ready for newborn photo shoot in an hour!!!!!
