That is what I am calling myself, anyway. You know the saying "No News is Good News"? Let me tell ya...sometimes no news is just no news and no news is sometimes nerve wracking.
I had a great day yesterday. Finally over my jet lag.
After I sent Autumn to school, I took Erica to the babysitter's and happily visited my local Massage Envy and de-stressed. I have been a member there for nearly two years and I appreciate it more than anything. I get a member massage once a month and of i can't make it in...they accumulate and I can cash them in for extra massages during the month or upgrade to a two hour massage or some other fancy offering they have.
Oddly enough, I have never felt uncomfortable being there and being overweight (except for the therapist that kept using hand sanitizer while she was giving my massage...I guess she thought fat=dirty). If you have one in your area...you should check it out. As a matter of fact go to the Massage Envy website, see if there is one in your area and let me know in the comments section. Maybe...just maybe...I can finagle a gift card for my next give a way, but I want to know that there is a good number of people can use them first.
I also had lunch with my friends Scott and Debbie. Where I had a salad. Of course...it was one of those "I thought I was being good salads" Romano Crusted Chicken Salad. I knew that it had a lot of extras in it, so I asked them to hold the eggs and give me the Creamy Parmesan dressing on the side. It had bacon also, but I figured "how much bacon could it actually have"? Turns out a lot, but the pieces were big enough that I could move them aside, so I could control how much of it I ate. The chicken was very flavorful, so flavorful in fact that I didn't even use the dressing.
When I came home and tried to log my calories. I found out the salad that I ate is listed on the restaurant website as....get this....1060 calories. Sheesh! How am I supposed to log that? I didn't eat the dressing which was served in a condiment cup. I didn't eat the eggs and less than half of the bacon? I know to watch out for restaurant salads, but wow! All in all I had figured that it was about 200 calories for the dressing I didn't eat. I assumed based on the size of the salad that they probably use at least an egg and a half, so I deducted another 100 calories. Then deducted about 140 calories for all the bacon I did not eat. All in all I had a 620 calorie salad. STILL WOW. Breaks my heart actually. I could have eaten something really not so great, but the worst part of the whole thing was that I ordered dessert and only ate maybe a third of it (intentionally)...either way, I was screwed. BTW, that salad had 49g of fat. For what I paid for that salad...it should come with a warning.
On the scale this morning...I am seeing the downward trend again and I am excited. Now....if I only knew something about that job....
