I’m not sure of my grade on the free lunch today. My first trip to the trough, I had a small amount of Daube and small salad. If I had stopped there I probably would grade out with an “A” but then an hour later I grabbed some more Daube. For those that don’t know what Daube is, here is a picture of some. Basically it is a slow cooked, thin sliced tender beef.
I’m not exactly sure how much I ate or the total calories but I doubt the 2 portions and salad were more than 800 calories. That shouldn’t be too bad BUT…… SODIUM.
I imagine the sodium bomb will strike tomorrow. It would be nice if it didn’t, but I think I’ve been nailed pretty much every time I have mowed down the Wednesday lunch.
The Contest!!!
LAST CHANCE TO ENTER!!!

I completely forgot my plan of reminding myself that my official weigh-in will be every Thursday. If I had remembered that, I might have skipped the 2nd trip to the Daube.
Weight Statistics
I had a good drop today, but I might pick it back up tomorrow when the sodium bomb strikes back!

I was hoping for a little more in the first week. 4 pounds is great (mostly water) but I dropped 6 the first week of the Office Challenge. I wish somebody would finish off the Strawberry Pie Bluebell ice cream in the freezer. I could hear that dang thing calling my name around 4pm.

Tip Of The Day!!!
ONCE AGAIN! It isn’t about perfection. Don’t use a slip up as an excuse to give up. Slip ups will happen. Try to have more good days than bad and the weight will start to come off. Most of us got this way by having LOTS and LOTS and LOTS and LOTS of bad days. A bad day here or there is not a problem. DON’T DON’T DON’T use it as an excuse to quit.
Just pick yourself up, brush off the dirt and get back to a having a better day. Fall down, get up. Rinse repeat. Eventually you stop falling down as much
Happy Dieting, see you tomorrow
The Grumpy Man
have you thought about gnawing off a limb? Filling and it’s permanent weight loss..
I’m not sure my physician would approve of the self cannibalism diet.
Kathie and SkinnyCat have kicked it into overdrive. I better step my game up if I want that prize!
Yeah, they are bringing their serious GAME!
