244

Hey folks… still here, plugging away. I managed to eat myself up to 251 lbs while we were away for the weekend in Seattle, mostly from all the beer we drank at the Casino. Anyway, a lot of fun was had, and I gotta say, I am in LOVE with Red Lobster. We don’t have those around here, so we drove all over trying to find one while we were in the States, finally got there and gorged ourselves on all-you-can-eat shrimp. So, I’ve been dieting my ass off (literally) since we got back, and am back down to 244, mostly eating crustless quiche for breakfast, lettuce and tuna for lunch, and lean meat for dinner. Exercise is also going well – I have been walking for 40 minutes every morning on the treadmill, then trying to hit Curves on the way home from work whenever I can. I bought a shitload of low carb food last night, so hopefully I can keep on track this weekend. I’ve got 4 days off work, so it’ll be tough! Was out running errands yesterday at lunch and had a Mandarin Chicken Salad at Wendy’s. I gotta say, I’m not all that impressed. I have no idea why everyone is raving about Wendy’s salads!! Wilty iceberg lettuce, soggy mandarins, and a few cubes of chicken does not a spectactular salad make. It really chaps my banana that I had to pay more for a crap salad and a diet coke, than I would pay for a triple burger, biggie fries and a frosty. Where is the incentive to eat well??? *Sigh*
