Steak & Potatoes

Had another work thing I had to go to last night -- a Lions club meeting in Woburn with one of my colleagues. I don't love doing work things at night, though it is part of my job so shouldn't complain.

This was at a hotel in Woburn and they were serving steak, baked potatoes, rolls, and baked beans. And Boston Cream Pie. The last thing I wanted to do was get sick, so I made sure I had some hummus & pretzels in the afternoon so I wasn't hungry. I did ok! Had 3 or 4 bites of steak, same on the potato, and that was it. If I could have snuck the rest of the steak home in my purse for the dogs I would have, but the waitress took my plate too quickly.

But I did it. Didn't eat too much or too fast. It wasn't killing me sitting there not eating the food on my plate. Had water while the guys had beer which was also fine. The guys were very, very funny so it actually turned into a pretty good night. (I actually haven't laughed that hard in a while.) Got home and had a SF fudgsicle, so all was good.

I'm tired today after being out and "on" two nights in a row, so will take it easy tonight.

I'm stuck at 25lbs but trying not to worry about it too much. One month and 25lbs is pretty good, and all of the blogs and message boards talk about people getting stalled, just keep with the water and protein, and having faith that the loss will come.
