Day 135

242. So a bit of a disappointment but still not surprising.  I think next week will be all salad lunch and dinner.  We'll see if that makes a difference.  Doesn't mean that I'll only eat salad for the rest of my life but sometimes you have to go scorched earth to give the body a chance to hit the next level.  I am coming up to a time period where I won't be able to do the Sat workout with L, so gotta work on a program for that.  When I met up with L Sat morning we talked ( as we always do ) about my not losing and she was encouraging in the sense of it not being a bad thing.  So again the positive reinforcement of another person really helps in the battle of the bulge.  There's a blast from the past.  Heh, battle of the bulge.  More like the battle of the extra heavy load.  Ok here's how I ate on Saturday:

Breakfast: Oatmeal with lemon curd and cottage cheese with 20oz of cold water.

After workout meal: Turkey burger on whole wheat bread with an egg, tomato, avocado, and cucumber.

Dinner: Went to a co-workers wedding on Sat night and there was a sit down buffet dinner served.  Lots of stuff to choose from and I chose most everything.  In moderation.  I had a roll that I only ate half of along with green salad with a small dollop of dressing, a bit of greek salad, asparagus, some fish, a piece of breaded chicken (not heavily breaded), a large piece of prime rib, and from the children's table a mini cheese burger.  There was a pasta salad, rice pilaf, green beans, and mashed potato's that I passed on the first time through but I went back for seconds and had a good sized spoonful of pasta salad and some green beans and a half size slice of prime rib.  Had two glasses of red wine and a gimlet.  Also there was a cupcake cake as the wedding cake so had one cupcake.

There was dancing and yes I participated.  Worked a bit of a sweat at one point so I'm calling that a workout.  Ha.  So good day overall. I did very well at the wedding as in the past it could have been, "Get out of my way here I come!".  I still sampled what I wanted but didn't go overboard.  There was a "candy bar" with all kinds of different candies and even though at one point I went and made myself a stash, I ended up not eating it and leaving it there.  So quite happy with my self.
