4/3 -4/13

Happy Saturday. I got bored of chronicling my eats on a daily basis. Protein shakes, bars, pudding, coffee? It's mostly the same stuff every day, except when I'm off the leash.

Thursday night I had a bit of a setback - on top of all the usuals, I had a couple of shortbread jelly cookies from Whole Foods (eh, good but too sweet), garlic knots (I ate them all, damn the husband for bringing them into the house), a few bites of a slice of pizza (see above) and a two-pack of White Castle burgers (microwaved from frozen - meh). It wasn't a terrible binge, seriously, so I got back on the horse Friday.

Until:

We ran into a fair! I've never actually been to a county fair, so I had to try all the deliciously white trash, deep-fried goodies. Come on, at least once! We ordered deep-fried oreos (they were okay), a twinkie (not my thing) and a Snickers bar (that one was okay, too sweet). I had two oreos and a few bites each of the other two. I'm glad I got it out of my system; now I know I'm not a huge fan of deep-fried sweets. Live and learn!

After the deep-fried extravaganza, we ordered clam strips and fries (of which I had two strips and a few fries) and a Polish sausage w/ onions and peppers (I ate approximately half). After running around and getting on rides/playing games, it started raining and got very windy, so we bought a caramel apple (mine) and a bag of cotton candy (his-I took a taste) and high-tailed it home.

The verdict? At least I ate a damn apple last night. :)

They had a Native American food booth - and they had FRY BREAD. I've only had it once before, in New Mexico over two years ago, and have been fantasizing about it ever since. It's kind of the consistency of a Chalupa - very light and crispy. They make it into a taco (which my friend ordered and loved) or you can have it plain, drizzled with a bit of honey and cinnamon, which is how I had ordered it. It is wonderful. I vowed to get fry bread before we left the fair last night, but didn't get a chance to since we hauled out of there pretty abruptly due to the weather. If there would have been one thing on that midway to be worth breaking my diet for, that would be it. Le sigh!

Back on the horse (AGAIN) this morning: about to have my fantastic breakfast protein shake (Jay Robb vanilla whey protein/mixed frozen berries/flax/non-fat Kefir/unsweetened almond milk/cinnamon/bit of coconut oil= a little over 300 cal/30g protein).

According to the devil scale: today's morning weight is 174.8.
