Image via WikipediaI thought the bbq was going to be the hardest but going out to eat on Sunday ended being the harder part. I don't like olives or avacados which would make this a lot easier and I thought they would have some salad with nuts on the menu somewhere, but no. I ended up finding a bread stick that is brushed with olive oil and baked and had that with a side salad. I tried to keep my portions down from what I would typically be able to eat. But when you aren't able to eat lunch or a snack and you are already at dinner, you are hungry so I did double my portion because I didn't eat anything else. Rather have more calories than still be hungry. I also treked 13.8 miles on my mountain bike. So I even got some exercise in.
I didn't sleep well at all last night so I forgot to get on the scale and measure my belly. Hopefuly I will remember tomorrow. Next weekend I'm at the shore with friends for 3 days. I will try my best to eat 400 calorie meals, every 4 hours, with a MUFA at every meal. The book says "just tell your friends you are on a diet and how important it is to them and they will understand and respect that" it's really just awkward. "We have to stop having fun and doing what we are doing because I have to eat now." Or we can't eat there because they don't have any nuts on their salads, really doesn't seem polite. I would rather not tell anyone I was on a diet. I realize that contradicts my writing a blog but it seems different telling anonomous readers that are probably trying to consider the diet vs friends who I talk to every day. It just seems a little personal. Like a open admittance that I'm overweight. Who wants to tell their friends they are fat?
