Day 84 – Dinner
Tonight, I was in an odd and strange mood. When deciding on a restaurant, there was several choices that came up that were a definite “No” as far as my diet was concerned. Eventually, the options were running out, so we decided to go to TGI Friday’s. We were hoping that there would be some interesting items on their “right portion / right price” menu, but I really didn’t see much in the “Low Fat” section that appealed to me. In the end I went for the Petite Sirloin. The meat wouldn’t have been a bad choice, but it was combined with a Jalapeno Mac and Cheese, which I have no idea of the values for. The waitress then asked if we would like a soup, and I reluctantly added a Chicken Noodle. About 15 minutes later, we were informed that there was no Chicken Noodle, and was offered a potato soup in its place. I reluctantly agreed and proceeded. 
Of everything I had, the steak was by far the best. The potato soup was okay, but for what I was spending in calories, it was no where near worth it. The same goes with the Macaroni and Cheese… while it was interesting, I really could have passed on it altogether. In the end, it just felt like a wasted meal, and one that I’m really afraid is going to cost me in this week’s weigh in..

Well, if the information I’ve found is correct, I guess dinner wasn’t a total loss… we’ll just have to see how it turns out tomorrow morning. That brings my total for today up to 1292 calories. Not bad at all…
