2013-01-05 Dinner

Grilled Pork Chop and Green BeansIt was warm enough that we decided to fire up the grill this evening and cook some pork chops and green beans. It was as delicious as it looks!

Bump And Run
Bump and Run Chimichanga at Soccer Taco in Knoxville
Chicken burrito topped with cheese sauce, lettuce, tomato, guacamole and sour cream,
served with rice and charro beans. 

Lori and Marylenna had the same thing! It was good, but not as good as the Huaraches.

I did give my tomato, guacamole and sour cream to the ladies.

I had a salad for lunch today- no chicken, but delicious!

2013-01-04 Breakfast

Another typical breakfast for me - egg and cheese on a bagel thin.

2013-01-04 Weigh-in

229.8 a slight drop from yesterday - that's got things going in the right direction. I'll be surprised if this number does not recover back to the mid 230's.

2012-01-03 Dinner

Had some Parmesan. Crusted shrimp and some mixed vegetables for dinner tonight. Not as good as something homemade, but a lot better than fast-food!

2013-01-03 Lunch

Had another great Lori salad today. This time I had a chicken patty to heat up, cut up and put on top of it.

2013-01-01 Lunch at Popeyes

Naked Tenders at PopeyesWe went out to Popeyes for some chicken at lunch. We tried one of their "LOUISIANA LEAUX" meals - we had "naked tenders" with green beans and a baguette. I skipped on the baguette. The green beans were...interesting. The chicken was very good!

2013-01-01 Beginning

It starts again.

Lori and I were doing pretty well before the holidays on our low-carb diet. I had lost around 15 pounds and we were getting into the groove of eating that way (it's harder than it sounds, by the way). With the holidays and me being on vacation for three weeks, we did like most people and enjoyed the holiday food. I gained 7 pounds.

So, like everyone on new years day, we're on a diet. For us, I think we'll make it work since it was working for us before the holidays. This meal log is part of the renewed effort to keep ourselves on the right track.

I hope to take pictures of almost everything I eat. That way I can easily reflect back and see how my portion control is doing. This will be a hard habit to establish I think, but I'm going to try.

Wish us luck!

2012-12-31 Dinner

I had a special dinner this evening. I shared some cheese fondue with Lori - we at it with bread and italian sausage. A great way to bring in the new year.

Last big meal of the year. Could not have been a better choice. Had the shrimp fra diavolo over penne pasta at Willie's in Sevierville.

2012-12-31 Breakfast

Another typical breakfast for me - egg and cheese on a bagel topper. I added ham this morning for some variety. I finished up with a chocolate-chip pop-tart.
