welcome to wk 2, it totally blew. i knew, i knew, i knew it would… ack!
my #2 son had a birthday over the weekend and he wanted to go out for his birthday dinner. since we never go out to eat because of the expense, we usually let the birthday meal include the choice of going out. and he chose to invite a friend and go out to olive garden. well, the friend did not get to our house till almost 5:30, so we prepped the son that og this late on a saturday would be an ugly sight and we will need a backup plan. we got to the parking lot and the place was insane!! i hopped outta he car and got in line to get put on the list to get seated knowing that it wwas going to be bad. wow, it was. 2 hr wait. who would wait that long?? not us. we ended up bopping over to friendly’s where there was only a 10 min wait for a party of 8. but now i had to sit through the order, the wait, the meal and finally the ice cream filled desert on top of watching all the other deserts waltzing by, laughing at me, jeering at me, taunting me. sugar had never looked so good. but i persisted… sorta… a french fry here, a crouton there, and finally 2 bites of a sunday that #3 couldn’t finish. aargh! the humanity. but it ended up being a pretty good time, minus the taunts and the bill. needless to say, we came home to the planned desert, ice cream and cake!! but we didn’t crack that open until the next day. but it was impossible to resiste that either, and i ended up with 2 bites of ice cream and a net 1 piece of cake (several bites over the course of the evening).
all in all, i lost no weight, but gained none either. i am still at 234 lbs. the good side of this is that i still have 2 weeks to drop only 3 lbs to meet my milestone of 10 lbs per month as well as the fact that it has frightened me into getting on the treadder for the past 2 days as my only chance to kick-start the program again. of course the bad side is that i sacrafice a lot of eating and don’t lose a bit, not even a 1/10th of a lb. booo, pooo!
