I had what I thought of as an attempted cheat yesterday. I was sitting at my cigar lounge and got peckish. I went to the fridge to grab a couple of pieces of cheese that I’d been snacking on the previous days and was denied! The tray from Friday evening’s event was gone. While that may have been disappointing in the moment, it worked out well for my program.
As I sat in the bar with my friends, they ordered chicken wings which was not a great temptation for me. I did, however, gratefully accept the celery (including the extra celery) that they got with their order, as well as one carrot stick. They were tasty, they were crunchy, and as far as satiety they were almost but not quite entirely useless. Fortunately, I had a meal replacement bar in my car which I got, and had my fifth and final meal replacement of the day.
I should mention that as I was lying in bed late last night, I was quite hungry. I thought about doing something about it… I did not. I tossed and turned for a couple of hours before finally getting up and taking a shower and a melatonin gummy. I watched television for an hour, and then I finally nodded off. I slept well for the four hours I had left before my alarm kicked me out of bed. Yes, I am tired today. No, I am not falling asleep.
I will not consider the celery and the one carrot stick as a cheat. I got lucky with the cheese. All in all, yesterday was a successful day. My weight did drop this morning, albeit not very much… a couple of ounces at best. a little drop is better no drop. I’ll take it!
Tomorrow evening is going to be another date night, and I will have to be careful about what I order. She is picking the restaurant, and I will have to stay adamant on my ordering. As for this evening, there is a Montreal Canadiens hockey game, so you know I’ll be watching that.
Have a great day folks!
