breakfast - 4 hours into my day, I finally had a protein bar.
Lunch - I had this glorious Salad. Yes - a salad!!! It's happening! I'm getting really close to stage 2. I know this because I had a salad! It had lettuce, chick peas, cucumbers, shredded cheddar, sunflower seeds and red wine vinegar. That is my salad. Since i was about 15 years old. AND I LOVE IT! CHeck this out . . . . .
Dinner - so tonight was a test. I purposely decided that I was going to get pizza tonight. Went to Dante's in cresskill for a slice. Literally a slice. Now I have planned before to get a slice and failed. Tonight, I was really motivated to stick to it. Had dinner with VG, Jack and Erich Roberts ( a couple of alums from work) and my willpower combined with good company led to only 1 slice and a diet soda! I made the best of it and grabbed a ziti slice!
Before you say "oh of course you had 1 slice, it was huge and had ziti on it" - please realize that a typical lunch was this slice + a BBQ chicken slice + 4 garlic knots. SOOOO, this was a monumental victory for me. Not to mention that I was one of 3 people who had this slice and I was the last to finish it! That's gentle eating for you!
Snacking - so I did not snack tonight BUT Fernando came by to get some Yankee tixx from me and we had a few beers. When I say a "few," I mean I think I ended up having 5. I intended to have 1-2 since I did not get home until 10:15. but we ended up chatting and all the sudden it was 1AM and we were almost a 6-pack deep. It's been literally YEARS since we hung and i hooked him up with some awesome tixx so it was a nice hang.
Today's apologies . . . . . . .
Sorry to Frank O and the crew that I did not make it out to hang for a late night snack. I intended to stop by on the way home. I ended up stopping at a friend's house to look at a treadmill and ended up chatting for a long time. But in the end ,they are giving us a free AMAZING treadmill since they are moving and that is going to go an extremely long way in my diet as well as Kristyn's efforts to work out post-baby without having to leave the house. This was a time-sensitive move, so I am sorry I could not make it, but i hope you understand!
