Day 10 - Tuesday
Today is Veterans Day, so we must go out for lunch. It makes Lucia happy to listen quietly to others (typically old men) in the restaurant as they tell stories of their past adventures at war. Previous Applebee's loyal customers on this day, we changed it up and went to Olive Garden. Click here if you want to know why we made the switch. It was a great choice but once again, it must be the heavy cream in the alfredo sauce that gives me a terrible stomach ache every single time. So I came home and darted for my bottle of tums.
Today was also a day that I hosted a birthday party so I had to bake a cake... and yes, that means I had to lick some of the batter. It's impossible not to. Let's just pretend that white cake is better for you than chocolate cake. Hey, I did use egg whites only. That's something.
For dinner I made an easy and really tasty baked chicken breast with sauteed mushrooms and onions on the side.
Yes, we did manage to get our 25 minute workout in today, in between all this food.
Food I ate today:
Breakfast: none
Lunch: too much - 2 breadsticks with dip; salad; 3 bites of chkn gnocci soup; 12 sips of salted caramel martini; 4 tortellini al forno
Snack: Marshmellow and I licked the beaters from making the cake
Dinner: One piece of cake (I let everyone else eat the chicken and saved some for Lucia's lunch)
What I did today to better my diet: I made everyone chocolate milkshakes at the birthday party but I did not have one for myself
