End of Week 21

20 May 2011: 195 lbs.
23 May 2011: 194.2
16 May 2011: no weigh in

didn't exercise or walk a lot this past week as I've been sick; that coupled with the 2 cheeseburgers I ate yesterday.. I assume it's a temporary weight gain.

Back from 2 weeks in Florida.. down a pound and now have a cold! fun stuff..

Tried to stay on track while in Orlando, but usually didn't.. Too many good meals at Royal Pacific (IoA/Universal) and Disney World.. lots of yummy desserts and at least 2 chicken dinners at 50s Prime Time/ Tune In Lounge (substituting the mashed potatoes for a 2nd helping of green beans at least once) Lots of salads.. love the Asian Salad at the ABC Commissary at DHS... not so much a fan of the salads at Contempo Cafe.. I prefer the Turkey BLT (on multigrain) w/ the sesame bean salad as a side.

While Kat Kora's Kouzzina is not my favorite place to eat.. the service leaves something to be desired.. the food is excellent and the breakfast was pretty good. The Wave at the Contemporary Resort is still really good.. not too much meat but really good service and the breakfast is amazing!! The fruit plate is great and the bacon cheese grits are really yummy.. this from someone that doesn't eat grits. The sausage is kind of 'meh' don't get it if you can help it.. it's like brown & serve or something.. very lackluster.. the eggs Benedict and the spinach and feta scrambled eggs are good but the spinach isn't actually scrambled into the eggs.. which I found odd. They have a buffet now too.. but honestly splitting 2 meals and a fruit plate was more than enough. There's lots more food I tried and we did our minimum walking every day but Saturday.. and we still managed to stay around the same.. with just a little loss!

So the key I guess is to stay on program, treat yourself.. keep walking.. and stay hydrated. It was hot when we went.. crazy hot.

Steak Salad from the Nickel Diner


Tonight's dinner was just the right thing! Huge Salad (hold the dressing!) accompanies a (approximately) 6oz steak. Served Medium.. it was yummy & juicy and provided just the right flavoring and juices to the salad and the iceberg lettuce wedge.
