Day 43 - National Cheesecake Day

Weigh-In - As stated yesterday, Down total of 14.8 pounds.  (Up 1.4 for the weekend)

Breakfast - I don't think I had breakfast yesterday.  NO reason in particular. Just never got around to it.

Lunch - I took my chances and cooked some of the chicken from the weekend that I never cooked.  Now there is a chance I'll catch Ecoli or Salmonella and this will be my last post.  :-)  BUT I think I'm in the clear.  I had marinated some chicken - some in Cajun Sauce and some in BBQ.  Never made it Saturday.  I had a chicken sandwich today on a long roll.  It was quite good BUT I could not shake the fear that maybe the chicken was going to make me sick, so I immediately threw out the rest of it.

Fast forward - it's now the next day and I'm fine.  Should have saved the chicken.    haha

Snacking - well, today was National Cheesecake Day.  This present a little bit of a problem because at Cheesecake Factory, they are having 1/2 price cheesecake all day.  Now I don't go there all that often because it's kind of expensive to have a piece of cheesecake.  BUT for $4.25?  it's on!

Kristyn and I happened to be heading to the mall so I reminded her that it was National Cheesecake Day and we decided to go.  It was about 5pm. I got the brand new Cinnabon Cheesecake and Kristyn got the Reese's Peanut Butter Cheesecake.  We basically split both slices.  Check out the amazingness . . . . . .

                                                       


My god, the Cinnabon Cheesecake tasted just like a Cinnabon, but cheesecake! Well worth it!

Dinner time - Met up with a few friends to discuss the plan for a jazz camp I'm teaching at next week in New Milford.  This took me back to the ol' Shannon Rose in Clifton - wow this brought me back to some old memories!  Just had a couple Bud Lites.  Kept it simple.  (As much as I wanted to eat some awesome Shannon Rose food.

Actual Dinner - Came home and grabbed some leftover ziti to get me through the night.


General Thoughts - I'm definitely WAY out of the mode of cooking because last week was weird.  With mom making ziti SUnday for Zack's birthday, then all the BBQ prep, more ziti on Thursday and then the weekend out and with leftovers, I'm definitely not "on point" right now.  I still have a full refrigerator of leftovers and will likely work through more of the today before ditching it and emptying the fridge and starting over.  All that being said, I've maintained fairly well and I'm well on my way to Stage Two - which I have decided I will unveil when I hit the 20 pound mark.  (which may or may not come Before we go on Vacation next week . . .. . . . . ) Likely after.
