Day 19 - All-State Band Auditions - Bagels, Donuts, Subs, Pizza and Cookies . . . .

Weigh-In - 227.0 - maintaining once again.  I'll take it.  I always say that after losing a good amount of weight, there's a good holding point where your body needs to reshape and adjust.  I really just made that up, but it seems logical.  Ever notice that you can lose the weight and then not lose for a few weeks, but actually look better anyway?    The speed losing is over.  Now is the hard part.

Breakfast - protein bar in the car.  I had to bring my dad to the doctor for 7AM this morning.  From there, I went down to All-State Band auditions in Edison at JP Stevens High School - otherwise known as 1/3 of the All-State Band school. :-)  Great program they have there.  Anyway, I had the protein bar because I had to leave the house at 6:20 and I was not waking up any earlier than I needed to. (190)

Snack - 1/2 bagel with "I Can't Believe it's Not Butter"  (135 bagel, 60 butter) This was tough because I show up to the All-State Band auditions and they had a spread of donuts and bagels soooooo big.  It was everything Im' trying to stay away from.  In my mind, pretty amazing that I made out with just 1/2 a bagel in the end.  Proof that I really am working hard at this!



Lunch - 1 slice of cold pizza and a chocolate cookie from Costco.  Pizza was VERY small and I didn't eat the crust.  (250)   Cookie - (210)

So I get to lunch and they have a WALL of subs.  Had to be 75 feet of subs. Tuna, Roast Beef, Italian, Tuna, Turkey, you name it.  NOw I'm not really into that because I hate tomato and mayo and not really a fan of the shredded lettuce. I just like the meat and the bread.  But I reluctantly take a turkey sandwich because it was my only real option.  I figured I'd at least peel off some meat and eat it.  So I get to the end of the sandwich gauntlet and there is 1 pizza box.  I stop and ask "Is there pizza in that box?"  They say yes.  It was like the heavens opened up.  "So you mean I can trade in this sandwich for 1 slice of that pizza?"  they tried to give me the pizza AND the sandwich, AND macaroni salad and lots and lots of food.  Luckily for me, I didn't like any of it anyway, so I just took the small slice of pizza.  Turns out it was ice cold and hard.  I still ate it.  I didn't eat the crust at all, no need.  It was like a bad cracker.  But in the end, I needed lunch and it was MUCH better than the sandwich for my mind.  Don't like 'dem samiches.  I had a cookie for good measure.  Needed something to fill the ol' belly.  :-)


Snack - I can't remember.  Thought I had something . . . . . . . Maybe I didn't.  I did drink a lot of water, so maybe that was it.

Dinner - Cilantro Lime Shrimp with Quinoa (180 + 160) Quinoa + Shrimp - another good home cooked healthy meal.  This one is legitimately healthy. Not just "better than other stuff."  It was healthy healthy healthy.  Also had a few shredded carrots in there and a little diet orange soda.

Snacks - Snacked a lot tonight.  It was a little hard to stay away.  I was basically home from 3pm until we went to bed at 1:15am, so it you look at it that way, it doesn't sound as bad.  Healthy Choice organic fudge bar (110) + Frozen Grapes (50) + 1 cracker/peanut butter (35) + Cheddar Rice Cakes (140)


We finished season 17 of Law & Order: SVU.  Getting soooo close to being caught up.  It has only taken us 21 months so far!  Can we get it done in 2 years?  20 seasons in 2 years?  Challenge Accepted.
