Day 88....shopping at the grocery store

Day 88.....

Wow.. what a great indulgence... or does it mean we are at the end of the rainbow and on the home stretch?  Last night was Friday and I ended the day in a client meeting that lasted from 430 to 600.  We then went out for a drink and even then I didnt indulge.  BUT I was meeting a good friend, Stuart, and that was the celebration.  While I only had two glasses of wine, and my main course was a Pumpkin and Aspareges salad.... my apettizer was a half portion of BABY BACKED RIBS!  I couldnt believe how much I missed them... but then I could not believe how I insisted on not finishing my meal.  Portions are just too big!  I was sitting across from a man who is going to join PCP... I can feel it... but who is 40k`s too large.  A long way to go.  And yet with wine and ribs in my system I still felt in control.

The night rolls up at 1030 and I look at my watch... not going to flake now.  I hit the gym and am the last one out after a full work out.  The science of it was that after my run my stomach stopped feeling bloated and started to relax.

Today... went to the gym and had a fight class.  2 hours in all and it seamed in order.  And then the treat.  I went to the grocery store and shopped like a normal human being.  Veggies, fruit, nofat milk and yogurt, eggs but I added mustard, sun dried tomatoes, olives, crackers, cheese, Italian meats, salad dressing, Silver Bream fish, Pork Loin and WINE.  The interesting thing was the meat.  The smallest portion I could find and it was still 220-gms.  What are we to do? I am going to BBQ it tomorrow no matter what!  And I am not going to worry about the grams because I will be eating it with veggies only.  So is that where we need to be?  Is that the science?  Where is the science?

Off to sleep.. to dream...of that grocery store trip where I went isle by isle... and loved it!

  1. Marcus I trust you missed the inside isles. Perhaps that is the science?

  2. I think the rule should be the KMs traveled from the farm to the grocery store... The fewer KMs traveled... The less processing... I'm excluding the import part....thinking from a domestic farm to a domestic grocery store....
