Day 4 & 5 - Paula - No I did not post yesterday.

So I am making up for yesterday today.

Day 4

Saturday was very long - a rainy day with good bed time - I decided it was time for a healthy amount of bread. A biscuit (400) - homemade - with 2 eggs (140). Totally hit the spot, a little late in the morning and about half of my calories of the day. But let me tell you it was great - I avoided butter by just made the eggs over medium, split the biscuit and put them on top. It was delicious. Then I went to what has become the usual for the week: laughing cow cheese, tuna, chex mix (1/2 cup = 120), pineapple, chicken breast, sweet pickles, grilled onions and because there was a little space left over I could have my favorite - milk. The total for the day was 1170 - not including walking up and down the hill picking up sticks. No to bad - fairly healthy and a little exercise as well. Another day down.

Day 5

Today was very hard - I did not have breakfast because I figured we would go out for lunch after church - we did. When I found out it was Spring Creek Barbecue I thought about not going - I mean come on, sausage, fresh rolls, great root beer and mac & cheese. It sounded too hard, but I went.

I got the chicken (wow they give you like half a chicken) green beans - just a little, and the small ear of corn. No roll. No root beer. No mac & cheese. No sausage. No fried okra:(
But the chicken was great (don't worry I only ate a piece of the chicken not the whole half) and having never had the green beans (they look like lima beans) they were delicious. Wahoo I made it through lunch.

When I got home of course I had ten pieces of leftover fried okra and two thin slices of sausage - yummmmmm.

Then came dinner, La Casona, one of the best Mexican restaurants - I did good (sorry don't mean to be prideful) I had 10 chips, yes I counted, with salsa, and a couple slices of beef fajita with grilled onions and more salsa.

So, as it stands for the day I reside at 1025 - I should have had just one more slice of beef - so I shall partake of a nice cold cup of milk and end up at 1145.

I am really glad that everyone is keeping up with the posts - good eating, bad eating, exercise, no exercise - accountability makes a difference and so does encouragement. So, keep it up everyone and good luck on the weigh in tomorrow.

Changing one good choice at a time.
