VLCD #6: traveling

Injection Day #8: Didn't take my scale to Houston with me, but I did weigh tonight when I got back. Things aren't looking so bad. This makes me really happy, because I really tried to make good choices in some really tough situations.

Last night, met friends for dinner at a Cajun restaurant, and I knew that I couldn't sit there and drink iced tea all night. Ended up ordering shrimp cocktail, which consisted of 6 shrimp with some cajun seasoning. Based on past experience with shrimp this size, a 100 gram serving would be 9 shrimp with shells, so I'm confident that this was an excellent choice. The glass of Heineken Dark probably wasn't such a keen idea.

This morning, had a vegetarian eggwhite omelet with strawberries for breakfast - another excellent choice. Lunch was a vegetarian sandwich - I picked the vegetables off and ate them along with the lettuce but without the big ciabatta bun - good choice! The bad part was the little dab of pasta salad and the mousse for dessert. It really wasn't much food - what was there was just bad stuff! By dinner, I was starving, and had some grilled chicken tenders.

In light of my recent setback, I'm hoping that this hasn't killed my progress. However, I'm home now, and don't see any other potential pitfalls lurking out there in the near future.

Let's keep our fingers crossed for tomorrow morning, and hope that the scale will be kind!
