Taking it step by step

Projects and errands and in-laws, oh my!

Posted by gottahavefaith on 6th April 2008

This was a crazy weekend. But, title to the contrary, I did pretty well. I “survived” a trip to a wonderful Mexican place with the in-laws. It’s a wonderful hole-in-the-wall restaurant where the owner cooks you wonderful, delicious, authentic food with her own hands…in completely enormous portions. I got some shrimp fajitas. Shrimp is a nice lean protein, and because it is so expensive, those fajitas tend to have mostly grilled vegetables and just a few shrimp. I eat them straight out of the pan with a little guacamole, no tortillas required. I did overdo it on the tortilla chips…this is what I get for letting myself go out to dinner when I was really hungry. This place is delicious, but fast it definitely isn’t.

I seem to have broken through my plateau a bit. As of this morning, I weigh 131.6. I’m excited, but I have mixed feelings…my relationship with food wasn’t the most emotionally healthy this week, and I don’t want to get into the mindset that any loss is a good loss. I hope to post more about this later when I have time to explain better. In the mean time, here is my food log for yesterday.
