Daniel and I have diverged from the pancake dinner tradition, because I've never been able to convince him to eat breakfast for dinner. This is the same guy who would cheerfully eat pizza at 8 am. Me, I'd eat breakfast three meals a day (or more) if I could get away with it! But we had pizza for dinner on Tuesday, and I stuffed myself with three (medium) slices, and I drank a beer and had about a third of Daniel's second beer. And, like Sarah, I bought myself a candy bar, a Caramello, and I ate it all during the course of the day. I had a normal breakfast and a normal lunch on Tuesday, and I had a few Girl Scout cookies, but not many, because we were getting low on open boxes and I didn't want to start a new box with Lent coming up. At some point I had a half a banana and maybe a wedge of apple. I also ate a handful of pistachios, and we had tortilla chips with cheese dip, and I think that was about it for the day. It was a lot, in any case. I tried to post about this yesterday morning -- and again last night -- but blogger didn't like me last night and wouldn't let me get to the posting page!
Yesterday I ate three meals and nothing else -- I had a bowl of raisin bran with skim milk and a clementine for breakfast, a piece of whole wheat toast and a 6-ounce yogurt for lunch, and grilled cheese and tomato soup for dinner (and the meal was HUGE -- I was stuffed), with skim milk to drink. I spent approximately 95% of the remainder of the day thinking about food -- I had plenty to eat, but I'm so badly back into the habit of grazing that I really missed it. I'm pathetic! I had about 1000 calories, according to MyPyramid. The scale said 140.5 today, and for the first time I don't think that's a glitch -- that's consistent with what I've seen other days, just slightly lower. Next week if I get 139.5 again I'll finally believe it -- if I can keep eating reasonably and stay away from sweets as I've promised.
I exercised on Monday, as I think I posted, but I didn't get to it on Tuesday (too busy being lazy). Yesterday I spent 45 minutes on the bike at the gym, at about level 6, for 344 calories.
I cheated this week and ordered a new dress for the Casino Knight on March 18, even though I'm not at my goal yet. But I found one for $30 from Chadwicks, on clearance, and I figure if it's that cheap I can get away with it. It's also a size 10 (no 12s were available) so I'm taking a risk on fit! If it doesn't fit and I haven't made my goal I have to wear my basic black dress, but if it doesn't fit and I have made my goal then I get to get something new. And I still can't get new jeans until I meet my goal, so I'd better hurry up because all my jeans are either shot or falling down, or both!
