I really need a new scale, er, or a battery for my current one. I can only weigh myself when I go to my parents’. According to their scale, I’ve lost weight and my clothes seem to agree with that assessment, but now I’m at the most difficult part of any weight loss journey: maintaining. <\/p>\n
I never know how many calories I should be eating. Generally I maintain by: losing weight -> eat more, gaining weight: eat less. Right now I don’t know if I’m gaining or losing so I don’t know if I should be good or bad at dinner tonight. Well, honestly, being good would mean leaving out the best part of dinner, the dessert, so I guess my choices are bad or really bad. <\/p>\n
Tomorrow is Easter, so I’m leaning more towards bad. Walnut salad or feta wrap? Either way, I’m not leaving that restaurant with less than 900 calories in my belly. Our favorite dessert has 700 calories, if we share. Yeah, the Uno Deep Dish Sundae, 1400 calories. Worth every single one.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday I went out with the meetup group again. Went to Macaroni Grill. We’re pretty sure our waiter was on crack. We all broke out in a fit of giggles when we asked our other waiter where he went and he replied laughing, “he had to um, step out for some air.” It took them, gosh, almost an hour from when we were finished eating to when we were finished paying. They had a really hard time with the separate checks and in the end, they left off a bunch of drinks and appetizers. Yay free food, but nothing free for me. The waiter said he would take off the included tip since the service was horrendous, but we insisted he leave it on. They were very entertaining.<\/p>\n
Plus the food was good. I had the spinach and scallop salad which was just about the yummiest salad ever. Of course that wasn’t enough to fill me up and I ate about 3\/4 of a loaf of bread as well, but I was still OK since I didn’t have dessert. <\/p>\n
We talked about other events we could plan. I’m all for karaoke, even if I’ll be the only one singing!<\/p>\n
Looks like I’ll be having another busy week at work since Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day is next Thursday X( I got the telepresence session and the tour scheduled which were the two hardest things, so I think we’ll be OK. Just need to beg some people to volunteer, buy stuff for their goodie bags and think of some ice breaker games. Anyone have any suggestions?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
