All right, I got busy and forgot to write...

So, it's been a few days since I blogged.  Funny how new words are created.  I assume blogged is a verb past tense.  Anyway, I've been very good about my eating.  I've pretty much stuck to the same stuff for Thursday and Friday as I did earlier in the week.  Friday night was a fundraiser for my daughter where they were serving soup, including two that I prepared.  I made sure I ate before so I wasn't tempted.  Yes, I made two of them, but all that means is that I knew what went into them...including cheddar cheese, sour cream and cream cheese.  I opted for a bowl of whole grain cereal and skim milk and an apple before.  I was starved when I got home after 9, so I had half of a whole wheat tortilla with the refried beans.  It probably wasn't a good idea to have all those carbs before bed, but it was that or ice cream...I took the lesser of two evils and went for the healthy stuff. 

This weekend, Saturday night in particular, I fell off the wagon a bit.  Scott and I went out for a nice dinner, albeit it was a fish place, there are always hidden temptations lurking.  I had a big-ass Newcastle beer, but somewhere in the recesses of my brain I remember hearing beer was healthy.  No matter, I had it and enjoyed it.  I also had swordfish that was crusted in parmesan but countered that with sauteed spinach instead of potatoes.  It also had a wonderful black bean salsa and tomatoes.  Honestly, it was pretty healthy and I didn't finish the piece of fish.  See how I didn't mention the appetizer or dessert?  That was the bad part.  We started with an amazing shrimp in some kind of spicy red sauce, again, not so bad but for the never-ending loaves of bread we dipped into the sauce.  Anytime a restaurant has creme brule, there is no question I will have it.  And of course, this one had it...and it was incredible!  Worth every hip-dimpling calorie.  That's kind of my way to justify eating stuff I shouldn't.  It has to be totally worth it.  If it's just kind of ok, I'll pass.  

So I'm back home now and back on the wagon.  I had a bagel and cream cheese for breakfast and shared a popcorn without butter at the movies.  For dinner I got twice-sauteed tofu with brown rice, a salad and asparagus soup.  Tomorrow is another day and I'm planning on walking to work every day this week.  We'll see how that goes.  The exercise thing seems to really be a thorn in my side.  Can't I just walk up and down the stairs like, once or twice?  It must count for something.  

Tomorrow is Monday and the beginning of a new week, my second week of my new ways of eating.  I'll be back then to keep you and me in check.  Until then, here's food for thought.
