Well, we made it through a WONDERFUL week-end without being TOO bad. We stopped for something to eat when we got gas Friday morning and decided to cheat just a little by buying something for our breakfast. I got a piece of pound cake, oj and some 2% milk, which wasn't too bad - but not as good as a bowl of Cheerios! We got box lunches Friday and Saturday at the Conference - a sandwich, chips, a piece of fruit and a cookie of some sort plus a small bottle of water. Again, not too bad, but heavy on the carbs. Friday night I had a bowl of French onion soup and two pieces of a chicken quesadilla. Saturday night we drove around Philadelphia (what a beautiful city it is!) and I had a delicious spinach/smoked turkey salad. So far, so good. But then, oh then, come Sunday we took a tour of the city on an open-top bus and decided to hop off and have our lunch at the City Tavern. A fatal decision for dieters. I had beef pot pie with cabbage and assorted summer vegetables, delicious varied breads with real butter, and a berry cobbler WITH ICE CREAM. Oh, groan! I was still thinking that, since it was at noon, I could not eat the rest of the day and not be too horribly off my REP, but then Eileen announced that Alan was making dinner for all of us - steak, sweet corn, and fresh baked bread. Suffice it to say, I am NOT going to makethis fortnight's goal - I just hope I won't have to pay double for weight GAINED!!! I am back on track this morning, though - oj and cornflakes for breakfast, my one diet coke of the day (hey - I cheated on that, too, all week-end!) at my side as I type this. Whatever I eat before I go to work, it will be minimal and probably green! Watch this space for further confessions!!
