Man, I truly hate “dieting” with a passion. I have been trying to watch what I eat over the past three weeks, but when it comes right down to it, I love food. All kinds of food.For example, this weekend we went to dinner with some friends - the Roberts - when plans fell through at the last minute for them. We went up to a nice little Italian restaraunt in Nashua, NH called Pizzico (here’s a review I found online). It’s not a fancy place, but it’s clean and the service is great. And, the food is really good. Too good.
I ended up eating a ton of bread, some calamari, a spinach and cream cheese on bread appetizer, and my lobster ravioli entree. I also had four glasses of the very good chianti that is the house wine. All in all, a great evening, but I’m pretty sure it’s not Atkins approved (or approved by any diet organization for that matter).
But, I’m continuing my workout schedule to try and drop the pounds. I jog on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, and also work out on my Bowflex on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. In addition, I golf on Sunday morning - and walk of course. The exercise is helping, and I’ve dropped about 8-10 pounds since my vacation, but I wish I could avoid the large meals.
Oh well… I guess I should be happy with the 2-3 pounds a week in weight loss and continue the work. I’m sure I’ll start dropping a bit more as I up the time I job (I’m adding 2 minutes every session) and get over 40 minutes of road work in 3 times a week. It’s got to happen, right?
I’ll try to post a couple more times a week, but it’s tough with all the web work I’ve been doing. I’m working on some new sites - most notably one of my favorite sites of late called Yo! Cell Phone - and have had to learn a few new things to make my sites more useful.
Wish me luck with the weight loss,
Chuck
