Days 2 & 3

Amanda sent me a text and asked how the diet was going yesterday.  I think my answer summed it up pretty well 'For the first 2 days I eat all the fattening foods I can so it's going great so far!'  I guess the technical name for the 2 high fat days are called loading days. I was talking to my mom and started thinking, the last 2 days I really havent been eating anything different than I would on a normal day.  Thats kind of a reality check.

Friday night we went to Interurban for dinner, I got the Ranch burger, fries and a coke.  Service was terrible, we go there pretty often since the one on Memorial Road is just down the street from our house and we have never had a problem.  We have had an awful week of service at restaurants!  Whats the deal people?  I'm not even picky, just bring me my food, refill my drink and get me out of there in a timely manner?  We ended up with a $10 gift card so that was nice. 

Saturday morning I woke up and made biscuits and sausage gravy mmmmmm.  I only ate one, of course, I havent been that hungry the last 2 days.  For lunch  I begged Rich for Taco Bell, forgetting that we were having Mexican for dinner.  I had volcano nachos and a bean and rice burrito.  I got a chulupa as well but couldnt force myself to eat it.  For dinner we went to a new 'southside like' mexican place on the northside for Richs Dads birthday.  I had plenty of chips and neon orange 'jelly' cheese and a barbacoa torta. I of course was the only one at the table to request a sopapia, it was my last meal and I was going to enjoy it.  By the time we got home I felt like I was going to pop but forced a glass of wine down before falling alseep in my chair as usual. 

This morning I woke up wanting some starbucks, then I realized it was Sunday and my VLCD (technical term, dont let it confuse you....Very Low Calorie Diet) starts today. I had breakfast.....ya know my non caloric beverage that I'm allowed.  Water. Mmm mmm good. Barf.  I wont lie, I dont think I have taken a sip of water in months.  I dont do water, I do diet coke but I guess I will learn.  I am supposed to drink 2-3 liters of water a day which I think is why they gave me a potassium pill, so I dont get my electrolytes out of whack.  Drinking all this water is going to be a grind, especially if the amount i have peed this morning is any indication as to what the norm is going to be. 

I just had my lunch, it was OK I guess. Fish, tomato, my silver dollar sized melba toast ration and some strawberries.  I was hungry so I shoved it in my mouth as fast as I could.  Rich on the other hand had something with bacon, I can smell it.  Grrrrrr.  I like bacon. 

We have a birthday party to go to at Chuck E Cheese this afternoon.  I dont think that will be a problem for me because as Rich puts it "their pizza tastes like someone has dropped it on the floor" and I agree.  Kids dont care though, thats what Peyton is eating.  Plus last time we ate there I think we all had a bout of stomach yuck.  I am a little worried about the cake temptation, I dont normally like sweets that much but I am already hungry and I ate like half an hour ago.  I will remember to bring hand sanitizer with me this time, I was grossed out by all the germy little hands touching everything last time we went.

Tonight I am having a pork chop, I know, not technically allowed but I do have a freezer full of food and we need to eat it.  I am just going to cut the fat off, grill it, rustle up a veggie and that will be that.  I cant just let them spoil.

I am debating about weighing.  We actually dont have a scale but i was going to buy one today then started thinking about how awesome it would be just to go into the Drs office next time and see a big number.  What do you think?
