100 Pound Loss

With 9.5 points left for the week, I went to dinner at a friend’s house last night. This is a friend who I’ve known for about 14 years, went to college together, and saw him through his divorce. Now, he’s remarried to a wonderful woman and has 2 children.

Anyway, between his wife’s diet restrictions (no garlic) and my new diet/lifestyle, choosing a dinner was difficult. We had a bottle of wine we’d brought with us, so I already knew 2 points were going to wine.

There was a nice, healthy, grilled chicken salad option, which would have been point-free.

There was a veggie pasta option, which would cost points.

I caved. I ordered the pasta.

My victory for the night was only eating 1/4 of the enormous garlic bread roll (it was the size of a subway sandwich), and only eating about a cup of the pasta.

I’m out of points– they reset tomorrow, so I have to be on track today.

I’m also down another.8 lbs today from yesterday. I don’t need to weigh daily or anything, but I’m doing so right now just to see if any particular foods trigger inflammation/water gain more than others.
