Another Catch-Up Post

I'm such a bad blogger. I apparently didn't take any pictures on Tuesday, because that was date night. I know I said I'd try my best, but I didn't try. I didn't try at all. We started with a buffalo chicken cheese dip and crusty baguette. Then we had a nice tasty salad. I really enjoyed it! I chose regular ranch though. Their only light option was a non-fat raspberry vinaigrette. I don't think fruit belongs in a salad dressing. Then I had a monstrous piece of chicken cordon bleu in a creamy dijon sauce. Naturally, I ate every bite of it. Also with the chicken were seasoned fries and a lot of broccoli. I gave the broccoli away. My only chance at redemption, and I gave it away. To drink, a white wine strawberry sangria. I was disappointed. It was mostly wine, very little strawberry. We were so ridiculously stuffed that we couldn't even contemplate the idea of dessert. We mentioned going out for ice cream, but then we kind of gagged, so we decided to skip it.

I think this was Wednesday's dinner. Very dry pork shoulder roast with some homemade chicken gravy, 1/2 cup white rice (we were out of brown) with a little gravy, 1/2 cup wax beans, 1/4 cup mixed veggies, salad with cherry tomatoes, 1/3 cup apple carrot juice:



Thursday breakfast - homemade wheat toast, 1 tsp. reduced-calorie margarine, 1 over-easy egg, 1/4 cup skim milk, 1/3 cup orange juice. I think I'll just use this as a stock photo. I have this breakfast often. To think, I used to eat 3 eggs and 2 pieces of toast. Plus bacon or fried potatoes or both! I've come to terms with the fact that I'll just be eating smaller portions from now on...

Thursday's lunch - 3 oz deli ham and spinach in 1/2 a whole wheat pita with 1 tsp. mayo, 1 slice cantaloupe, 1 cup skim milk:

Thursday's dinner - 3 oz. grilled rib eye steak marinated in Catalina dressing, 4 oz baked potato with spray butter, 1/2 cup wax beans (again. I ran out of green beans.), romaine lettuce with light Italian romano red pepper dressing, 4 oz red wine (grimy kid fingers crudded up my camera lens):

I was saddened to find that just that one over-indulgent meal out totally undid 2 weeks' progress. But that won't stop me from doing it again. We get a night out so rarely that I'm not going to waste it on salad and water!
