Back from Skiing

Rob and I went skiing this weekend. It's great exercise and I had a great time. I think I did a good job with not over eating while we were gone. It's hard when you are on vacation to not overeat, but I had a cup of blueberries and a 1/2 piece of multi-grain bread I make myself for breakfast on Saturday. It's a really hearty, dense bread. For lunch, Rob and I shared a bowl of vegetarian chili and I had maybe 1/8 of a bread stick. Later I shared a beer with him, and had our version of trail mix which is cranberries, sunflower seeds, almonds, and dried fruit. I had maybe a 1/3 of a cup. We left skiing, which I found to be the most awesome ski day I have had in years, and went to this little tapas bar that we both like called Fuego. We each had a glass of wine and some flat bread that had been tossed in olive oil and served with a chipotle pepper aioli. For dinner we shared a harvest salad at the Great Basin Brewing Company along with an India Pale Ale. Sunday was a little tougher. We went to Peg's Glorified Ham and Eggs. I love Peg's. I had the Sierra Omelet, which is chicken breast stewed with peppers, onions, and stuffed inside a three egg omelet, beans, pico de gallo, cabbage slaw and hashbrowns. It's a big plate and I ate about 1/3 of it. It was great. For lunch we had In 'n Out Burger. Hamburger with grilled onions, and a few french fries also had a coke. That's a rare treat for me. Dinner turned out to be snacks. Pistachios, salami, bread, brie, with a glass of wine. I can't make the scale move though. It's driving me crazy. So, I started week two of fasting. Today I had 1/2 c. of yogurt, 1 c. strawberries, 1/2 grapefruit. For dinner it will be a 3.5 ounce chicken breast marinated in Mexican spices and a bulgur wheat salad, 1/2 an apple and 1 cup of strawberries. A total of 499 calories. I'm hungry today, and tea isn't cutting it. Not sitting at my desk will help. So... I'm off to home to walk the dog during lunch. That will keep me occupied.
