I'm in the new apartment. My soon to be ex-wife is in her new place. My job is gone, lost that a month ago now. My life has certainly taken a turn.
I'm hoping to find a new job fairly quick, but I know with the market and my (rusted) skill set, that won't happen soon. I have a shot at a job in California, I'm just not looking forward to moving to Cali.
So, I'm watching every penny. Since I'm watching my money so close, I might as well watch what I'm eating, too, right? For about the last three weeks I have been mostly on my low carb diet. Yeah, I cheated, but it's been way more on days than off.
This past weekend, I knew I would be hanging out with friends, going to the movies, etc. - I fully intended on cheating to high heaven. It's depressing being broke and out of work, I deserved a little comfort food, right? So, Friday night I'm chatting with a certain other blogger that shall remain nameless. As we are chatting, I get curious and go plug in my scale. I weigh 489 - not bad for a guy that wasn't trying too hard, not exercising and cheating like a bandit. Where could I be if I actually tried?
Dammit! There goes all my fun for the weekend! :)
I did have one seriously carb heavy cheat meal, but I was good the rest of the weekend and I have been good since. I'm especially proud of the movie excursion. I brought peanuts and cashews from the drug store (why don't they sell nuts at the movies?) and I got a Coke Zero at the theater. A little high in salt, but on my diet.
Right now I'm writing out my grocery list. I've been a dumb boy and left myself with no food in the house and now I have to go to the store hungry - mistake! However, if I stick to my list, I'll be fine. I will most likely be coming home with a roast chicken, though!
Oh! That reminds me. For you low carbers out there, I love the new "grilled" chicken at KFC. It's pricey, but for fast food it's pretty good stuff. It's an answer to the drive-thru dilemma.
