Saturday cafe and cardio

It looks like another nice day here in SC. 

My weight shows steady under 170 lbs. So I guess my first mini goal- half way point is done.  Half way weight but not half way time. The next 10-14 lbs would be more difficult to get rid off. 

Next goal is 5 lbs - to be under 165...at all time. It may take me 2 months to do it.  But time I have. 

My belly still hurts - the Thursday chips still affecting my guts.  

Last night I had scallops and saute spinach for dinner. After 6 years it still amazes me that 3 scallops and 1/2 cup of sauted spinach can fill me up and keep me full for a few hours. LNS last night were brazylian nuts. 

Today plan:

Coffee X 3 

Green tea 

Protein shakes until dinner

Dinner: not sure ...we are invited for dinner - get together and I hope there would be some food I can eat.  But... Just in case I will have my protein cookies in my purse + some weird meat+fruits protein bars. (Brand - "Epic") I am not sure yet if I like them or not. 

Plus protein shake in the car.

Exercise: not feeling it.  But we will do some walking ...maybe. 

 Edited to add dinner;

6 Shrimps and ****tail sauce

Beef kebabs with red pepper (skipped the onion) + wine (rose) - ate too much, wine helped

LNS: protein cookies. 

 

I had an awesome Saturday with my daughter, celebrating her birthday. I showed perseverance by not caving in for the carbs. We had Olive Garden for lunch and I had the Rosemary chicken breasts. I did not touch the mashed potatoes, and I only ate one of the two grilled breasts of chicken. It was the only appealing item on the "lower calorie" and "high protein" part of the menu. So I only ate the one breast of chicken for lunch and a little spinach, We shopped the mall and my daughter stopped for a cream filled cookie and Great American Cookie. Audrey is so considerate and she first asked me if it would tempt me or bother me if she ate the cookie in front of me. I thanked my girl for the consideration, but she need not worry. I succeeded in not eating one, even though I use to love to lick the vanilla cream filling in the cookies ( I absolutely love cream fillings and vanilla butter cream frosting!!). After a long day of shopping we were ready for dinner and Audrey picked Denny's. I ordered scrambled eggs and bacon. I ate four bites of egg and only half of a small and skinny (and burned) slice of bacon. I was actually full, even though I did not eat that much!! I guess the protein really is filling! My parents wanted us to stop by, they said they had some Krispy Kreme doughnuts with vanilla cream (my favorite) for me. My parents know good and well that I am trying very diligently to lose the regain, I had to say that I needed to hurry and catch the train so I did not have time to stop by. Truth is, if I had gone to see them I would have ended up eating a doughnut, or two , maybe three. My dad acts as if he is offended when he offers sweets and one does not accept. It is almost as if my parents are trying to sabotage my weight loss attempts, and I did not need the extra stress or temptation at this time. So all in all I did pretty well for a day out with my daughter and two restaurants. Hoping everyone had a great Saturday!

You did so good.... 

Last night at the party I did great food wise....but gave temptation to wine....but today is as new day. And I think wine finally helped washed all the chips away from my guts. No pain today.
