Net Loss/Gain:                     + 2.7 lbs.

Diet Comment

I must confess to being pleased with this weight gain, as, before I weighed myself, I was expecting to weigh in heavier. With two travel days bookending a huge amount of food at Thanksgiving, plus two gigs, and the need to finish the food in my fridge, I've been eating like the end of the world is coming.  We're getting close to the last weight- and food-oriented post of the year (November 30, two more days), since my Winter travels start Thursday. I won't have to worry about the quality of the food I'll be eating for the next 3-1/2 months. On December 1, this blog turns into a travel blog.

Food Log

Breakfast
12:05pm: 

Brussel sprouts and eggs with mushrooms, onions and peppers, dusted with Everything But the Bagel seasoning. Not shown: Oatmeal and blueberries (with chia and hemp seeds, walnuts, kefir, Greek yogurt, cinnamon, stevia).

Lunch
Skipped.

Dinner
7:05pm, at Tully's: Fish tacos, rice and black beans.

Net Loss/Gain:                     - 0.0 lbs.

Diet Comment

Note: Due to having to drink a large quantity of water before breakfast, I didn't weigh myself. I suspect that if I hadn't needed to drink water overnight, I might have weighed-in heavier, thanks to the fried chicken mac and cheese from yesterday. I'm trying to be good today, because I'm going to be bad Thursday and Friday.

Note 2: Tomorrow and Friday are a travel days. Next post is Monday, November 28.

Breakfast

Dinner
8:30pm, at the Maplewood Grill: A gigantic dish of Buffalo chicken macaroni and cheese. It was very spicy (usually a good thing but it kind of overwhelmed all the other tastes in the dish). When I say a gigantic dish, I mean it took me more than three hours (I brought most of it home) to eat.
