This little piggy…

Ate like a piggy today.

I think my diet might be on hiatus for the long holiday weekend, which officially starts tomorrow, but in my mind, started today. It started with a work-related luncheon, where they served a decent salad with apples, feta cheese and walnuts, then fried chicken breast with sides of mashed potatoes and veggies and the kicker, chocolate cake for dessert.

When I got home around 4pm today, I thought, “Hey, I am going to each something healthy for dinner.” Then I remembered I had some fabulous tortilla chips from the Mexican store my mom goes to in Denton. So I figured, screw it, and made some nachos. And I think I am going to eat ice cream or some chocolate in a little while.

Tomorrow is a new day. Tomorrow is also the start of the weekend and I always blow my diet on the weekends by drinking beer and eating junk food.

So…next Tuesday is a new day! Yes! Tuesday!

Strangest luncheon menu ever.

I went to a work luncheon today. I was expected rubber chicken, mashed potatoes and some kind of veggie and chocolate cake for dessert.

Being on day three of Weight Watchers, I had a snack before I left and figured I could take the skin off the chicken, eat the veggies a bite or two of mashed potatoes and ask the waiter to take the chocolate cake away.

Much to my surprise, they served the strangest lunch I have ever had a luncheon.

• Caeser salad
• Chili with cornbread
• Toppings (cheese, sour cream and onions)
• Apple pie

WTF?! I didn’t plan on eating such a fatty meal, but I think I did pretty well. I ate half the salad, about a cup of chili (no toppings), half a piece of cornbread and exactly three bites of apple pie. I estimated the meal to be about 12 points, which is more than I eat at any meal and more than half of the points allowance I get in one day.

Despite the points debacle, chili is definitely the strangest meal I have ever been served at a luncheon.
