Tuesday looked like this:
Breakfast - just water. One of my goals is to actually eat breakfast, so I was a little irritated with myself. But I had a new employee starting, and I had to spend time with her, and not spend time eating a banana. (Yes, I'm aware that I could have gotten up 3 minutes earlier and eaten a banana.)
Lunch - took the new employee out, but kept it healthy with chicken souvlaki (360) and salad (50) from Katarinas, which is DELICIOUS. If you go, get the Greek potatoes. And the hummus. And anything, really. Plus some water.
Snack - Success! The work peeps offered to bring me ice cream, but I had a Greek yogurt (100) instead!
Dinner - I was going to make turkey meatballs and brown rice, but I forgot one of the ingredients, and we were both too tired to go to the grocery store. So it was leftover whole wheat penne (200) and homemade marinara sauce (65) to the rescue!
Calories - 775/1400 (hmmm, too little isn't good either)
Exercise - Notsomuch.
Wednesday was:
Breakfast - half of a donut (150). Which look, I wasn't planning on it, but when the adorable high school file clerk brings you a donut and a thank you note for helping her with her job and college applications, you eat the damn donut. Well, you eat half of it anyway.
Lunch - Because I had a donut, I had a salad with chicken (280). And I hated it. But I ate it.
Dinner - The Atlanta branch of the Suprefriends was in town, so we hit up our usual restaurant: Fireworks Pizza. I had a salad (100), two slices of pizza (570), and a little bit of the giant chocolate chip cookie dessert (100). Oh, and a vanilla porter (125).
Calories - 1325/1400 I wouldn't say that those were nutritionally dense calories, but oh well
Exercise - (Hides in shame)
But then...
Thursday began well, and slowly descended in to madness:
Breakfast - whole wheat toast, water, coffee (150)
Lunch - Cajun chopped salad at Bad to the Bone (350). We originally went for the fried mac & cheese, but they were out. Sad face. If you like barbeque, they just opened up a smaller operation, The Bone, in Old Town Manassas. They're owned by my mega-boss's sons, and they do good work. They're especially awesome at catering (I think I've used them 3 times now, and they are super professional.)
Drinking - We went to Lothar's new shop to pick up some steaks (and naturally walked out with steaks, bangers for bangers and mash, hot dogs, summer sausage, etc. Oh, and he gave us free beer (75) to drink while we shopped. (Thanks, Lothar!)
After that, we went to Adroit Theory and Corcoran for not free beer (200).
Dinner - Wine Kitchen, which involved cheese (100), risotto balls (125), a half glass of wine (75), and braised pork with tagliatelle (600).
Ice cream - because hey, why not? Dipped top cone at Dairy Queen (350).
Calories - 2025/1400
Exercise - no (SHAMEFUL)
Friday
Breakfast - Scrambled egg (75) with reduced sodium ham (60) and a piece of toast (100).
Lunch - Half a turkey burger (175), fries (300), and uncharacteristically almost three cups of soda (350).
Dinner - Half of a filet (275), a baked potato with sour cream, chives, and bacon bits (with lean bacon, drained) (300), and peaches (60).
Ice cream - This is becoming ridiculous. I had a little bit of vanilla soft serve with graham crackers (150).
Calories - 1685/1400
Exercise - YES! A 6 mile moderately strenuous hike!
ANYWAY, I'm feeling fat and blah, which can be summarized by...

| Camilla! |

| Johnny Weir taking a tumble! |

| The York princesses! |
Oh well, tomorrow is another day! And believe it or not, I was at 160.4 pounds, and am now at 158.8 pounds, so I guess that's progress.
