Update

Well, since Tuesday I've lost 2.6 lbs. So I guess that's good.

Friday I went out to lunch with someone and still managed to do well. We went to Atlanta Bread Company. I checked the nutritional info online before I left. It's a good thing too... A panini I was eyeing had 810 calories and 35 grams of fat. How is that even possible? Anyway, I ended up getting the Half and Half: Half a roast turkey sandwich on low-carb multigrain bread with no mayo and no cheese & half of a Chopstix Chicken Salad. It was quite tasty. By my calculations online, it was about 400 calories total. Not too shabby. I even skipped the Diet Coke and the extra bread that came with the salad. AND I resisted when I was asked to split a chocolate croissant.

Sigh. Oh, how I miss France and our daily breakfasts of chocolate croissants. I swear, the French should be huge.. Not the willowy waifs that they are.

Here comes the weekend!

I agree. Amazing what we eat without thinking about it........okay once per month, or so, but not every day at lunch....
