Day 48 - Baby Steps

I continued the great weekend theme today.  Slept in, watched the Vikings ALMOST beat the Bears, had a terrific dinner with Cliff, and went to Whole Foods.  Relaxing with a touch of productive, just the way I like my Sundays.  Better enjoy it while I can because soon it will be back to being a homework day.

I tried to eat a salad today.  I did pretty well, but there were some tactical blunders on both ends that made me barely make it through half of it.  

#1 - I forgot to say, "No tomatoes."

#2 - They don't have cucumbers (right!?  Who doesn't have cucumbers!)

#3 - They gave me 2 croutons...

#4 - And no crackers

Blerg.

Baby steps, though.  Next time I'm going to try a place with a salad bar and see what it's like to make my own.  

I'm super excited for Tuesday this week.  First off, the weigh in is going to be great, I can feel it.  Second off, Cliff is going to cook me a perfect New York Strip for my congratulatory dinner (yes, I'm that confident).  It's going to be a tasty week for us!
