Last night's meal made a nice difference as far as weight goes. At this morning's weigh-in I managed to break the current "Losing a pound a day" streak and gain a pound.
Since it's the weekend, the only thing I could eat was whatever I could save up from the week. So there really wasn't any surprises or good finds as far as meals go. The trick for weekends I think is being able to ration things out properly. So here's the breakdown of my food schedule this weekend:
Saturday:
Breakfast - one granola bar
Lunch - two slices of pizza and an apple
Dinner - the remainder of the salad and garlic knots
Sunday:
Breakfast - one orange
Lunch - two slices of pizza
Dinner - the last slice of pizza and an apple
I still have a couple granola bars, but I want to be able to hold onto them for as long as possible in case things get pretty dire and I really need something to eat.
After dinner I went to a birthday party which aside from being a fun time, also turned into a test of willpower. Having to say "No" to alcohol felt like being a kid again. The only part that kinda sucked was not being able to do birthday shots with the guest of honor.
My other roommates and I returned home probably within 20 minutes of each other (around 2ish I think.) one was eating macaroni and cheese, and the other was eating a double cheeseburger and fries from wendy's. I'll admit the aroma was pretty tempting. Not that I would break the rules and go to the closest restaurant or anything. But my stomach was growling and I was considering snagging one of my slices of pizza. I eventually chose not to for two reasons: one, it was late at night and there was really no reason to be eating food at that hour. And two, I'm pretty certain I would be regretting it the next day when my food rations would be less.
Today's Weight: 170.4 lbs (-2 lbs from initial weigh in.)
