I had a little small gain today, but I think that it was because I had some ice cream last night before I went to bed. Then, I just had some again tonight....and I didn't go to the gym....but DONT WORRY! This isn't a backslide! It's just Shane (who else?!) got the idea that we should have Sundae night, and that turned into a sundae repeat performance tonight. BUT, yes, it was tasty, but is it worth NOT losing weight and feeling better? nah...so if he wants to have another one tomorrow, he's more than welcome, but I'm good!
Oh, also, his stepdad came into town today with his sister and Shane gets home from work, and usually right when he gets home we hit the gym, but today he got home and was on the phone. The second he was off the phone, he goes, "we gotta get the kids ready and we're going to Denny's." I guess they wanted to meet us there to have dinner. I love Dennys, but because they are from a small town without one, they REALLY love Dennys. :)
Dennys.
Dennys...
Here's the thing about Dennys...a few of you might know my HUGE restaurant weakness.
Breakfast food. If it's a pancake, waffle, french toast (yum, french toast), eggs and toast, grits, breakfast potatoes, the list goes on forever- literally! I AM a breakfast girl! When we were young and would go on family vacations or move, we'd drive and whenever we'd go out to eat I'd get breakfast at every chance I could. My favorite meal in the entire world would be the brunch buffet at the Golden Corral on a weekend!

My name is Ashley, and I am a Breakfast Addict.

Hi.

So, on the way there Shane is telling me to eat bad. I'm like NO, NO, NO, you are the devil, NO.

He's like, BUT...then we can get you some movie popcorn AND get cold stone AND get starbucks... (did I mention he was the devil?)
I told him that you always read in articles about that person that sabotages anothers healthy efforts, I told him that "person" was HIM. He said that he wanted me to eat bad because then he'd feel better doing it. I was like, NO, you eat bad if you want, I'm going to get egg whites or something. He's like, PLEASE, I'll go in the theater to get the popcorn and we can make sundae's again tonight. I felt defeated. We got to the restaurant early and so I had about 5 mins to look at all my options before his stepdad and sis got there. I looked at the bad food and the good food too. I thought about getting just soup and salad, but their soup was chicken noodle or veggie beef, and that doesn't work for a veggie like me (that's my term for my vegetarian-ism, btw). Shane asked me if I was getting bad food and I said yes. He excitedly decided on a Philly cheesesteak thing. The waitress came and I ordered.
Boca Burger and fruit instead of fries. Shane shot me the crazy eye.
A.) I've ALWAYS wanted to try these Boca things, so this was a great opportunity.
B.) Although with the "burger" alone is 450 cals, w/ fruit brings it up to 570----but I was ok on cals, so no biggie. :)

It was good. Not 'kinda, so/so, alright, i guess' kind of good. Like really and truly good. Shane even had a bite and agreed. It was also large enough that I could've cut it in half (it came with a knife) and I could've eaten just half...but when people ordered dessert, I finished the other half to be able to avoid the dessert.

So, if you get a chance to try one of those meat-less patties, you aren't forsaking great taste. I love food, I wouldn't lie about that.

So, that was my evening. Then I came home and OF COURSE was so proud of myself that I had a sundae. (boo...) but a little bad is better than a lot of bad. I usually don't have much bread (from the burger's bun) or sugar if I can help it, so I do fully expect another little gain tomorrow. But, whatever it is, I know that by the end of the weekend it will be long gone and I will be still on my journey......to hotness (of course i have to tie that into my blog title, right? lol)
Thank you for listening and that's it for me tonight. I'm off to bed.
Love ya'll!
Ash
