Sunday Bloody Sunday - Monday, Monday

So it wasn't too bad,
I had the same dinner on both nights, Burgers and dawgs, mix in a few chips and cake, brownies and peach cobbler. Breakfast on Sunday was Raisin Bran, Monday was biscuits and gravy home fries, and some sausage patties.

For those of you following along, I am going to keep journaling regular meals for the next week, just to change my mind set, I will explain later.

Saturday went a little something like this...

"Woke up quick at about noon, thought that I had to be in Compton soon"
Actually we had a wedding to attend in g San Antonio, so we got up and headed out the door about 8:00AM we picked up a friend of the groom, and headed out down the road. We stopped at McD's for b-fast. I had a sausage and egg McGriddle, hash brown and a dc.
After the wedding we stopped at a c-store and got some chips chexmix and a soda for the ride home. Chrissta and I went shopping, when we got home, and had lunch at the Brooklyn Pie Co. YUM, we shared a Greek Salad sans the Kalamata Olives - they were out, it was a sad day... then I had a large slice of yummy NY Style pizza with pepperoni and green olives. We topped it off with a piece of baklava wow good tasting lunch....

Dinner was served at the reception, I had a salami sandwich some fruit, something chocolaty and a piece of wedding cake.

When we got home, and were just hanging out, I had 1/2 a carton of Ben and Jerry's peach cobbler ice cream then bed....

see you tomorrow...

Wedding/Memorial Day Weekend begins

My Cousin Andrew is getting married, tomorrow. He is marring a sweet girl they are going to be great. The thing is though, the food that comes with weddings. Tonight was the rehearsal dinner at the melting pot. I stuffed myself with salmon beef bread dipped in cheese and fruit dipped in chocolate. Before that though I had a Stromboli grinder for lunch and some M&M's peanut of course. (See we have a snack cupboard at work, company provided so it is so easy to walk by and grab something, sure there are healthy choices, but they are not nearly as good.)

Thank you all for your support, and encouragement.

Need some advice, progress pics yes or no?

Slow getting this out...

Yesterday was OK again, only because I was super busy. I had a trip to San Antone for a big meeting, with a major client and a sales/engineering team.

I was rushed in the morning so I did not eat b-fast, we had anticipated stopping but traffic was bad, so all I had was a stick of gum.
Lunch was a different story. We went to Logan's Roadhouse. YUM.... I am all about ethnic food and I will eat anything once. But there is something about fire cooked meat and yummy bread that just makes my belly happy... We had mini-burgers for an appetizer, these are done on their yeast rolls, (I know this may cause some controversy, but I think my wife's bread is about the best bread ever, but these rolls RULE!) I then had a salad with honey mustard dressing a full rack of ribs and some fries. YUMMY

Back at the office I had some peanut M&Ms.

Then for dinner we had some bacon wrapped chicken, Johnsonville Brats sauteed cabbage watermelon, grilled pineapple then some chocolate cream pie.

Benson, a friend of his, Kevin (my brother-in-law) and I went to see Pirates of the Caribbean 3, and I had about 5 of Kevin's sour patch kids and a soda.

Thanks again for all your support. Being accountable to someone other than myself and my wife is going to help me, for sure. Lets see how my last weekend of free range eating goes....

Day 4

Not too bad, not great but not bad...
B-fast Cereal Raisin Bran
Lunch Rudy's yes thats three times this week, I had clients in-town and they wanted bbq.
snacks, cookies and kashi muti-grain crackers
dinner, 1/2 of a cheese frozen pizza
and the requisite dc for the day.

I did a little better. I am now worried about what I am going to eat cause i have to write it down. I am starting to look forward to the 'new diet' and the exercise portion. I want to thank my three fans, Chrissta, Jaylene and Lisa. Thank you all for the tips and encouragement.

The Simpsons are on and Homer is running a Marathon, takes three steps and says he hit a wall, then recovers, then hits a wall again, recovers and hit another one... LOL, I hope that is not a sign...

Day Three...

...was better than Monday for sure, I felt good when I woke up, although the day started busy, my work phone rang at 6:30, there was an emergency at one of my customers' sites. Fortunately it was not as bad as they thought, but its fun to get that early rush.

After getting ready for work, I grabbed a protein shake and a fiber bar and ran out the door to work, I think I had a DC as well. I held a training class for most of the day, there were some Chocolate Chip cookies at the office, and the usually menagerie of unhealthy snacks, but I managed to only have a couple of cookies over the day. For lunch I had a cheese burger from Sam's Boat with some fries and a diet coke, then for dinner Jeni made some Chimi Chungas, I also had some diet coke and chips and salsa. Compared to Monday, much better, but I still need to work on it.

This has been a good exercise, I struggle with trying to be honest in putting down what I eat but I am finding that it really is a good thing.

To Quote Metallica - 'Sad but true'

This morning was typical, I woke up at about 7:20, got up at about 7:35. Felt sick as usual, got ready for the day. Rushed out the door to work. On the way to work, I decided I needed something to eat, thinking that it might help my stomach, I got a Sausage biscuit, and a diet coke. When I got to work one of the sales guys brought in Rudy's breakfast tacos so over the course f the morning I ate, two... Bummer. Then for lunch I went to BK with another guy and I had a cheese burger, fries and two tacos. Then we went to a movie with the family and I had some licorice, then we all went to dinner at Rudy's and I had an assortment of meat, and cream corn... I think at some point I had some M&Ms too. MAN! its no wonder I am HUGE!

When you write down what you eat its a little embarrassing. OK a lot embarrassing. Hopefully this will help in my quest.
