Day 9 - PAD THAI NIGHT! :-)

Weigh In - 231.1 (Down 12.2 from New Year's Day)  I can't believe it keeps coming off!  usually after a week, the weight loss slows down.  This is awesome!

Breakfast - Everything Bagel thin with some kinda special butter + 1 cup of Trop 50 OJ (275 calories)   This was good - it kinda felt like i went to Dunkin, but I didn't!  :-)  Still going strong!

Snack - Rice Krispie Treat (90 calories)  The mid-morning snack is HUGE.  When i forget to have it, I really get starving, even with all the water intake.

Lunch - leftover Garlic Butter steak bites in zucchini noodles + a bag of Baked lays sour cream and cheddar ridgies (500 calories + 140 calories)  I think I'm estimating UP for the meat, but better then underestimating.   I will say that Steak is kinda heavy and I don't think it could really possibly be that heavy.  Do you weight the meat before it's cooked or after it's cooked?  I have a feeling it weighs less after it's cooked . . . . . . . Any official help on this?

Snacks - cheese and crackers (100 calories) during the afternoon sometime.
Grapes  50 calories (during pit orchestra)  Finally froze some grapes.  I LOVE frozen grapes.  have you tried freezing grapes before?  Very refreshing AND takes awhile to eat because they are cold as hell. The kids thought I was weird, so I offered to let them try them out. About 5-6 kids took one and then had mixed reactions, but a few really loved it.

Dinner - YUM!!!!!!  Pad thai (570 calories)  This was awesome.  A little extra spicy today.  Kristyn made it and it was an amazing meal.  Can't wait until tomorrow's leftovers!

Night Snacks - Cheese and Cracker pack - 200 calories  and I think i had something else, but I really just can't remember what it was.  I'll call it a 100 calorie snack.  Still working on cutting down on the night snacks.  It's hard to do, but at least the snacks are portioned.  My biggest issue is when I sit down with a bag of chips or goldfish or a 1/2 gallon of ice cream - that I have no filter stopping me from binging.  So the portion controlled snacks helps me at least count how many snacks I had and i will eventually stop.  It's working well.  as I said, if the pounds keep coming off, then I'm not going to be picky about an extra hundred calorie pack here and there.  :-)

2025 calories total.  Sorry if this post is not too entertaining and no photos, but I want to get it up!  Need to write the next one.  :-)
