Week 10 Day 3

So the pattern is what it is ten weeks into the new life. Very controlled and measured meals on Monday-Friday lunch with wild, wild west like meals on Saturday and Sunday. Very measurable weight loss Tuesday-Friday with wild, wild fluctuations Saturday-Monday. As of this morning we are back to -24.5 and held strong below -20 through the weekend and get back to the new standard of -25. By Minnesota -30 will be the standard I hope to be at when I leave and when I get back.

That said, it is a vacation with the temptations of vacation eating out, snacking and travel foods almost all of which are bad. Also, the measures meals that are generating loss now will be absent on vacation. Finally, no Healthe’ Trim on this trip either, so I can finally enjoy some coffee in the morning without the fear that I will pee napalm soon after. Very exciting.

Something I always imagined but never believed. Calorie counts are deceptively different than I think they should be. Burger King breakfast: four crappy Cini Minis are 490 calories, one dry, nearly flavorless chicken biscuit is 400 calories and the awesomely wonderful Ham, Egg and Cheese Croissan’wich is only 330 calories. So a pretty good breakfast is a yogurt, fruit and the HEC Cois. Like any time I order at a fast food place I got too much food and I ate it all.

So I am skipping lunch today. I hate doing it, but with some raisins and a weight watchers mint cookie crisp mini bar as a snack and an abusive to my urinary tract amount of water I don’t feel too hungry at 3pm. I bet dinner will be dangerous though. I want pizza bad. I will hold out for Mama’s Pizza, that’s a restaurant as my mother’s pizza isn’t that good. Salad and veggies with a frozen dinner and I should get through this day by the skin of my teeth.

Now that I am clearly rambling, possibly from starvation. I hear that sets in after not eating in over 6 hours. I got to get my itinerary together for next week. Getting in on Weds and flying out the next Tuesday so only one weekend to do weekend stuff, but some good days for catching a few movies in there too.

Mmmm…food…

Maybe I should get that lasagna pizza for dinner, that pie is awesome.

Later.
