It's Saturday? Really?

Just another day in The Land of the Lost for me!

Hung out with a friend last night, we saw "Angels & Demons" - very close to the book, BTW - and the book was good so good have fun! I only had a Coke Zero - and a tiny bladder. I think there is something about dieting that shrinks up my stomach capacity and my bladder capacity as well. I almost never have to RUN to the bathroom in the middle of a movie. I sure did last night. Dinner was at a Thai place in the mall - I had steak and steamed veggies. The steak was incredible! It was marinated and very flavorful, plus the lime-chili-soy sauce that came with it just boosted the flavor party. In case I'm not being clear, it was really good!

Breakfast was more like lunch today - left over chicken that I baked the other day. Dinner is pictured; pan-seared petite sirloins over spiced stir-fried peppers, mushrooms and onions. Pretty darned tasty! I bought a pack of these petite sirloins the other day. For six, it was $10. Didn't seem like a bad price to me. I knew I'd make one meal and freeze the rest. I figured I'd get at least 3 meals out of the pack - $3 for a steak dinner sounds like a value to me.

Only one problem - my portion control issues. Well, my shrinking stomach stepped in and reminded me. I got through about one and a third of the steaks in the picture and only half of the veggies - that's a whole bell pepper and not a small one! Plus a whole onion, a large portion of mushrooms and four cloves of garlic! (Yum!) Anyway, the rest of the plate above is in the fridge for lunch tomorrow and I'll get another four meals out of that pack of steaks - making six $1.50 steak dinners! I feel so frugal!

I'm getting antsy about weighing in on Monday. Not nervous - I just want to have lost some weight! Over all I'm aiming at 200. I want to see 400 by the end of the year. But, I'd love to get to 475 soon - that's where I started when I began Adkins four years ago. Hitting 475 will make me feel like I'm really on track. But, immediately, hitting 485 will feel pretty good - that will be the lowest I've weighed this year. I hope to get there this week or next!
