We were going to go to the diner, but we were running late, so I opted to throw together a quick omelet and microwaved bacon.

My lunch was a luxury: Rick made me some chicken kabobs (minus skewers) for me to take during the week. He is the most supportive husband a woman could ask for, especially since he actually likes bbw’s (big beautiful women). He knows I want to lose weight, and he does all he can to support me, even going out of his way to think up the plan to make chicken/veggies for my weekday lunch.

So, I reheated the chicken, didn’t have a tortilla as I had planned (too stale), and that was that for lunch.

Snack was almonds.

Dinner was at Albert’s for trivia night. I had the chicken club salad (grilled chicken), and Jim gave me one of his french fries.

Dessert was at home later: an Adkins bar.

Whew. It felt good to be back on track.

I decided to start acknowledging the successes in each day:

1. There was a workshop going on at work. I circumnavigated the donut and juice table and went to my cubicle.
2. On the way to the printer, I passed the Doritos, grabbed my paper and returned to my cubicle.
3. After a skype meeting with the boss, I ignored the candybar bowl and grabbed a handful of almonds from the can in my drawer.

WHEW. I made it! I may “fail” quite a bit at staying on plan, but I also succeed several times a day/week/month.

I heated up my Indian butter chicken over cauliflower for lunch.

Once home, around 7pm, I relaxed with my man and a Michelob Ultra 2.5 carb beer. For a snack, I had barbecued pork rinds. I can’t believe it myself. The thought of pork rinds used to make me gag. They weren’t so bad, especially since they are zero carb. I can see this is one of those items I need to buy in bulk from Amazon. In fact, I’m a little disappointed that Amazon no longer offers 3 packs of chili lime almonds. I can only order one pack as an add-on to any $25 order. Bring back the cheap 3-packs, Amazon! I need my daily almonds.

For dinner, I heated a Costco pot roast and made 2 or 3 days’ worth of cauliflower mashed potatoes. It’s good to be prepared!

Rick and I have started watching old episodes of the Twilight Zone on Hulu. We each had an Adkins coconut bar.
