Harry Potter Midnight Showing!!!!!!

I am soooooooooo stoked. It’s going to rock.

So right now I’m watching Man vs. Food for the first time I have been losing weight. I use to watch it religiously, thinking that one day I would try all of those challenges (at one point, that’s what this blog was going to be about. No joke.) It would also make me hungry for terrible foods, which also created problems. As I’m watching it, it makes me a little grossed out. Don’t get me wrong, the food looks great, but it sends the wrong message to people that it is okay to gorge yourself beyond measure. I’m sure some of you are thinking that I’m over reacting a little bit, but I really think that shows like this pseudo-subliminally send the message that Food=Happiness which is why I am in this mess to begin with. The only way I have made any progress is that I have changed my mindset: it’s eat to live, not live to eat. Do I still eat well? You betcha. Do I over indulge sometimes? Yes, then I gain 4 pounds in a weekend. I still haven’t found that middle ground yet where I have the control not to go nuts. Until I reach that point, I’m going to stay cautious and stay close to my points. What do you think about shows like Man vs. Food? Am I over reacting? Be honest.

Breakfast: My super awesome wife made some toast with peanut butter. Peanut butter is awesome, and that is all there is to it. The breakfast was 7 points which is high but pb in the morning really holds you over.

Lunch: I met up with Megan at Pitaria to grab some lunch. I had the super awesome falafel pita (13 points) and their unique pita fries which are fried pita strips with Greek seasoning. With the Tzaziki sauce it was about 6 points. A 19 point lunch is pretty high also, but it’s worth it.

Dinner: Instead of going out for Chick-Fil-A college night, we made some awesome chili but this time with rice. We use to always make it with rice but it has been a while. It was fantastic and it really hit the spot. For 2 cups of chili was 5 points and a cup of rice was 4 points.

So today was a meatless Thursday. I like these vegetarian days. I think I might try to have a meatless day once a week. It wouldn’t be a goal or anything just something to try to do. Today I got to 35 points so 3 points over. That will do Pig. That will do. (That’s not a fat joke.) See ya tomorrow.
