So I woke up this morning with a mission. I wanted to eat healthy and drink plenty of water so I could hopefully lose some weight by Sunday. Although that was the plan, the following blog might disprove that. Awe well.
Breakfast: My first attempt was pretty solid. I had my wafflewich with only half of the serving size of peanut butter. It wasn’t that bad at all, just a little less pb and less points. Definitely worth it. Only 5.5 points.
Lunch: I went up to campus to work with some people from class (if you guys are reading this, enjoy your pseudo shout out) and since I didn’t have time to get lunch between my internship, Megan made me a couple awesome sandwiches. It was only like 4 points.
Snack: During work around 3, I was getting a little hungry. Luckily I had some almonds to snack on. 28 almonds was only 4 points which works for me.
This is where it got interesting: It’s been a long week for us. We have a lot on our plates full of school and about a million other things. Also, (as you have read) this week has been a steady diet of sandwiches and chicken. So we decided to take the night off for a little date night for ourselves. I was already dressed up from work, but Megan was at home trying on a bunch of different dresses and stuff. I came home to a pile of clothes on our bed that were all too big for her now! We are both really feeling and seeing it now, and it’s awesome. As you can see, I tried on a suit jack that I bought a little small my sophomore year. This is how big it is now. Pretty legit, but I need to get them all altered now (the spoils of war I guess.) Anyways, our date nights usually are pretty low key involving some dive of a restaurant like Pizza Hut (I’m quite the romantic) so we decided to try out a nicer place downtown. We tried out this place called Andrews 228. I looked at the prices online and it was comparable to Olive Garden so we tried it out. It did not disappoint. Oh wait… I have pictures and other stuff.
Dinner: I wanted to eat something a little healthier, but on the other hand, I figured if I was going to splurge, I might as well make the most of it. I wasn’t going to stuff myself, but I just wanted to enjoy the experience. We tried that cheese plate appetizer with Buffalo Mozzarella (made from buffalo milk) a Gorgonzola cheesecake, and some slices of hard cheeses along with some meats and roasted veggies. It should could have been our meal, but we deliciously forged on. I had clam/mussels arrbariata with andouille sausage. It was so delicious. This might have been the best meal I’ve ever had because I just enjoyed it. For once I let my dining experience just be enjoyed instead of just filling a whole. However, it’s 12:30 and I am still full. Not a good sign.
So today was a good day but the dinner was a little overindulgent. I don’t know how bad it was, but I’m going to make my Saturday the healthy day Friday could have been. See ya tomorrow.
You could have asked Howard’s mother if she had a coupon for the “Olive Garden”, sounds and looks like it was a great meal…goodness knows you two deserved it this week. Happy exercising.
