Good morning everyone!
I'm happy to report that after my strange weekend of eating, I woke up (albeit very late) today and was back to my Friday morning number on the scale. Today, I expect to have a little more than usual on the later end of the day, so I'm taking it REALLY slow on the intake the rest of the day.
Early Day: Woke up pretty late - Kristyn and I have a nice system where I typically wake up with the kids on Saturdays and she does on Sundays. We both get 1 late morning. It's kinda nice. We don't really speak of it, we just basically end up doing it that way. So I got up at around 10:30am today. Did not feel the need to eat immediately, so the first food I ended up having was an omelet I made at 12pm. It was 2 egg whites and 1 whole egg with 3 turkey sausage links and a piece of cut up cold cut ham with salt, pepper, Franks Red Hot and "everything bagel" topping mixed in. It looks really burnt in the photo, but it actually came out really great! It did not taste burnt as it looks. I basically could not find the spatula to turn it, and finally found both of them in the sink, dirty - so I had to clean it and by that time, the outer edges looks a little overdone. But it was great! I also had 1 slice of Yellow American cheese.
Mid-Day: well, as I update this at 3:20pm, I have had 4 potato chips since my omelet. Pause . . . . . . .

Ok, I'm back. I just had a Reese's egg. Soooo good! I mean, they were a birthday present. I have to eat them, right? I have 1 left. (Thanks, Julie & Wes!)
Super Bowl Night: Ok, so I saved all my love for the game. We had a decent spread, in spite of there were only 3 of us watching the game and 4 of us in the house. So here's the run-down. I'll try to remember it all, if I can.
1 - Kristyn made pulled buffalo chicken, so i had that. 2 sliders on Kings Hawaiian rolls and a little more over basmati rice.
2 - We had a leftover pizza from yesterday's party, so I made that. Had 2 slices, but didn't get all the way down to the crust on either one, since it was a little too crispy for my liking (not really a leftover pizza guy, but I had to give it a shot.)
3 - A few handfuls of Doritos and Sour Cream & Onion chips
4 - 2 mini chocolate donuts
5 - 2 little chocolate covered cookie dough bites
6 - 2 Bud Lites
7 - 2 glasses of scotch
8 - 2 Red Bull and Vodkas (this was 1 can of Red Bull) Now remember - I stated in the original rules that i could have Red Bull ONLY if it was a part of a liquor intake situation, so I decided to live dangerously tonight. It was Super Bowl Sunday - an occasion to sin.
9 - 1 sugar cookie
So that was it. Sounds like a lot, when it's listed in bullet style and numbered, but actually - I'd say quite good for Super Bowl Sunday. I definitely showed restraint in the chip and dessert area. That would normally be my downfall here.
Was a different experience to have such a small get together for the Super Bowl - obviously, the right thing to do these days. Last year's Super Bowl party was one of the last social gatherings prior to quarantine, so that puts us at almost 1 year. Crazy. Anyway, had a great time - watching the game, pretty calmly - not running around too much - just keeping track of my boxes and prop bet pools. Good times. And in the end - I ended up on the correct end of my early morning weigh in Monday! (Sorry for the spoiler, but I could not help myself. I know this weekend sounded bad overall, but I think my plan of how I handled the timing and amount of my eating Saturday and Sunday to contradict the difficult eating events worked out well and assisted me in maintaining the weight loss I had achieved leading into the Friday night debacle.
All is well at this point and I'm now hoping to have a strong week ahead of many better choices, and of course - some pizza on National Pizza Day (Tuesday, 2/9)
