A 1 pound loss today. I know I should be happy with it and of course I will take it. I wanted a lemon poppyseed muffin BAD about an hour ago. I went to get one and they were out. They only had bannana nut and that one is not good.

I have no clue what I am going to do for dinner and I am a little worried.

20 lbs and I will no longer be over weight. I will be at the end of the healthy BMI range, but at least I will be healthy. Wow. That seems really obtainable and scary all at the same time
Just a quick post before I head to the gym. Basically Tuesday-Friday were AWFUL days as far as eating goes. I did make it the gym everyday except Friday because I had a workshop that started at 7 AM!! I caught up on some much needed sleep Friday night. Yesterday consisted of going to the gym making lunch (Turkey and ham roll ops on corn tortillas and oven fries), and going to dinner at Pei Wei. Man, oh man do I love this place! There chicken pad thai is so yummy. I usually get some won ton soup, but I didn't get any last night. I only ate about 1/3 of my meal. I guess I just wasn't that hungry. So now I have tons of leftovers. Yeah!!! I also noticed that Pei Wei Pad Thai was not entered into spark people. I feel so much better that you can enter your own custom foods so you can really track what you are eating. Serioulsy, I don't think I could love a restaurant as much as I love Pei Wei =)

So the past 2 days have been just plain awful. It all started with going out to lunch yesterday at J. Alexander's. oh. my. god. I have never been there before. I know it is a chain, but the atmosphere and food was amazing. Mark Willis was there while we were eating lunch and the hostess said that Keith and Nicole were there over the weekend. Yes, what other Keith and Nicole would I be talking about =) So I wish this lunch was on the company card, but oh well. I got the most glorious cobb salad. I know not the best choice, but I did not use very much dressing at all. I used the dip your fork in your dressing technique. I only ate about 1/4 of my salad because I had 2 huge onion rings before the salad. I also had 2 pieces of some of the most glorious corn bread with cheese and jalepeno peppers. I also passed on ordering desert while all of my co-workers ordered desert. I did have 3 bites of carrot cake though. For dinner I had the rest of my salad. I should have tried to eat something better, but at least I am no longer eating all of a meal that I used to eat in one sitting.

Yesterday 2 people swear the recognized they had seen me before. The waitress asked me if I came there often and at the meeting one of the guys thought he remembered me from a previous event. Hmm, maybe I have a twin out there. I also realized that I work in a pretty superficial business. I honestly don't think I would have the strength to be an artist or an actor being under the public eye and scrutiny. I am not even in the public eye, yet I feel the need to lose weight so that people won't look poorly on me and take me seriously.

Bad food choice continued with lunch. I ventured to the caf which I said I would never go back to. I didn't eat that badly, but I could have done better.

Dinner was also not the best. It was Mexican. I basically ate a bunch of chips. When my meal came I had eaten so many chips that I wasn't really hungry. I had a few bites of beans and chicken and then I got a to go box.

I am not getting inspiration from the biggest loser. I really want the blue team to win!
