I lost another pound again according to my weight in. I thought for sure after last night's meal I would've at least stayed the same weight from the day before. I biked to the office I had my usual cup of orange juice and a bagel for breakfast. I forgot to mention this in my earlier entries, but on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, chiat offers complimentary bagels. On Tuesdays and Thursdays its free fruit. And every afternoon there's free popcorn made.
Lunch time came and went as usual, but I was able to collect the last bits of a quesadilla from my friend jen. I thought it'd be better to save it for later though seeing as how it was going to be a couple days before I would be back in the office again. Today is a Friday after all.
A short time later, I was able to get my hands on a couple unfinished salads. They were leftover from a "Welcome" lunch to a new employee on the Pedigree account that just started. The weekend was starting to look up. I finished off one of the salads for lunch and put the other one in the fridge to save for later this weekend.
Every Friday around 3:00, our cafeteria gives away all the unsold fruits, cookies and bagels from the week; however, this week's give away was pretty dire. I was however able to get a couple granny smith apples which is still better than nothing I suppose.
Fortunately, there was some meeting on the basketball court where cookies were being offered.
And what better to go with a cookie than a nice cold glass of soy milk?
. . . Bleckkkk, I hate soy milk.
Anyways, just as the work day was ending, and any other prospects of food for the weekend was lost; I end up winning the food lottery! Yes, the food lottery. Thanks to a few tips from some friends, I learned that the visa account group had ordered pizzas and salads for lunch earlier in the day, and that there was still a lot leftover. So I immediately ate a couple of slices and then grabbed the largest container I could find that would still fit in my backpack (I still had to be able to bike home after all.) and I began to fill it as much as I could without it overflowing.
Then on my way out, i swiped an unfinished gallon of orange juice leftover from a going away breakfast from earlier in the morning.
All in all, I'd say it's been a pretty successful friday. A couple hours after I got home I was hungry again, so I had a couple servings of salad and garlic knots. I could easily eat a few more slices right now, but I think it'd be better not to. If possible, I'd like to be able to ration everything so that it can get me into the first part of next week as well. I still have a ways to go until this over after all. But hopefully with tonight's findings I should be back at 172 lbs by tomorrow morning's weigh in.
Today's Weight: 169.4 lbs (-3 lbs from initial weigh in.)
