Falling Off The Wagon

I have fallen so far off the diet that it is not even funny.

Let us begin with Tuesday night when I had dinner at Restaurant David Drake with the boy and a friend of his. Dinner was fabulous, of course. I had English pea soup to start and then duck, which came with an amazing apricot puree. I rounded that night off with the cheese plate.

Wednesday was Restaurant David Drake's garden opening party which I attended with a friend. There were lots of assorted little yummies though nothing that topped the foi gras mousse that they served at the lost garden event I was at. My friend and I then decided to sit down for dinner (decadence - twice in one week). That night I had the duck confit salad with beets, the short ribs (which I actually had only a couple of bites of) and the berry trifle. All delish!

Thursday I behaved myself for dinner, but lunch was at my parents where I had a lamb burger, pig potatoes and peach blueberry pie (swoon).

This will all be followed by Sunday (Dad Day) which will include BBQ, pasta salad and cupcakes with mocha frosting.

Sigh......I suppose my penance will come in July with boot camp and a strict diet regiment.

Thanks for the Support

I actually had a friend say to me this weekend - "Yeah, you have lost some weight, but don't you still have a ways to go?" Thanks, thanks a lot buddy.

Yes, It Has Been Awhile

Sorry for the long absence, but there wasn't much to say. I am increasingly bored with this diet and also seemed to have reached a plateau when it comes to losing weight so I have just been frustrated, frustrated, frustrated. That has led to cheating more often, which certainly doesn't help the whole process. My main problem is still the late night snacking. It just seems that, without fail, come 9:00/10:00 at night I want food. I have tried eating later, but I still get that snack craving. I am thinking I may just have to give in and have an actual snack each night. It seems like it would be better for me to actually eat a snack and make it as healthy as possible then end up eating all the little bits of junk I end up eating to avoid actually eating (if that made any sense).

I am also thinking about doing a boot camp with a couple of friends in July. I am hoping that that will get me motivated to be doing everything I can to lose weight (aka - no more cheating) and also boost the metabolism a little in order to shed some poundage. We shall see.

Meanwhile I also will try and be more diligent about updating this blog. Promise.
