Week 2 - Weigh In

Loss for the week: +1.0 lbs
Starting weight: 238.0 lbs
Current weight: 237.4 lbs
Total loss to date: 0.60 lbs

Well I am not happy about my weigh in today but I had a suspicion my weight would go up after this weekend, so I was kind of prepared for it.

On Friday I suggested to my sister that we go out to dinner and guess where we ended up? A Fish Fry. And yes.. It was my idea. I had two Fried Cod fillets, some fried shrimp, and potato pancakes. Very yummy, but not so good for the diet.

Then on Saturday I skipped breakfast but went out to lunch with my Mom and sister to Perkins. I had a Grilled Chicken Salad though, so that was good. I even omitted the bacon it came with and added hard boiled egg. Then at the Holiday party I had some kind of Chicken meal with rice and some unknown substance on top (looked like gray guacamole??), and green beans. I also indulged in dessert and then had a few drinks. It was a good time though. I got a few compliments while I was there that I looked nice, so that felt good. I only danced for one song though, so didn’t really burn any calories off.

Sunday I went grocery shopping and then had Chips & Hummus for what we’ll call lunch and Chips and Taco Dip for what we’ll call dinner. It was kind of more just like an all day thing during the Packer game. So yea… Not a good weekend for my journey, but hopefully I can work extra hard to lose the gain plus some.

On another note, I bought some Whey Protein {Vanilla Cream flavored} & some Orange flavored drink mix. I read online that if you mix it together it tastes similar to a dream sickle. I had that for breakfast, in place of my Slim Fast. At first I got the dream sickle flavor, but after a while I had to choke the rest down. I could taste the iron flavor in it. So I’ll have to find some other way of drinking it. Any ideas? I read that you can also mix it with yogurt, tuna, or make a shake out of it. So maybe I’ll try one of those ideas. I’m still confused if I should be using this in place of a meal or if I should be having it after a workout? Any advice on that?

I’m giving blood today over my lunch hour at a sister company of ours. Think I’ll lose some weight? ;-)
