Up 2.6 lbs since yesterday. :-) Damn colleagues and their lunches!
I am not too down on myself about it, it was delicious. I just could not resist, appetizers, I had mushroom ravioli and only ate 3/4 of a 900 calorie plate, but I guess a few appetizers here and there and the bread got me! It was very salty so its probably just water weight. I had a few bites of calamari, and a few bites of fried cheese, and more than a few bites of Italian bread.
I have a real hard time ordering sensible food out, and double that when I am with my co-workers who have no regard for nutrition or weight loss at all! I don't know how these guys are not huge themselves, perhaps its age. I am at least 10 years older than most of them. Anyway, I FEEL depressed WHEN i am eating a salad and they sit around me eating fried bacon on a buttered bun (W/ Mayo)! And they are very insistent that we eat out at least once a week. There are few healthy/safe places for me to go with them. One is a chicken joint, that grills chicken, but, it has effects on the tummy not good for a gimpy person like me, lol. Anyway, moving on. Next time I will do a Nancy Reagan and "Just say no!" In all honesty, I wanted to go from being cooped up so long.
Speaking of fried bacon, our favorite American style restaurant here (Ric's) has a flyer on the tables "Special, Fried Bacon". I was so tempted to get some.
Wife and kids put together a big dinner too, baked chicken in a sauce, rice, and veggies. It was not bad calorie wise. I had a bit of a hissy fit or anger problem because I AM SICK OF CHICKEN! But, that is on me. Its about all we eat anyway, I am having a revolt of sorts. Slow and steady wins the race, and I need to embrace my routine again.
Today I am gratful for:
Wife and Kids
Job
Nice Weather
Healing power of man
Weight loss (and gains)
Being human

See it this way: If you were to gain 2.6 lbs of fat, you'd have to eat more than 4,500 calories more than your burned today. Did you? I doubt it. It's most likely just water. However, these little scares sometimes help us to focus on what we need to do. They're not damaging (as much as we feel in the moment), but they are eye opening.

Thanks King! It was a good day yesterday despite that little hiccup.
