Day 3, and I’m down 2.8lbs so far.  I know it’s not ALWAYS going to come off this fast, but I’m still impressed.   Today’s plans include seeing a movie, then heading over to the someday-inlaws to visit for the 4th of July.   Today’s going to be more interesting, because I’m really not going to have control on what I can eat, nor am I going to have nutritional information about each item.   I’m going to have to take a “best guess” approach, and just be good.   I’ll update later on how it goes…

At first, we didn’t think we’d stick around for dinner – and we also knew that if we did, it wouldn’t be until late in the evening.   We decided to hit Subway.  Because I’d had a light breakfast, and if we weren’t staying, probably a light dinner, I decided to treat myself to some Chipotle Southwest Sauce on my chicken sub.   It was tasty!     Once lunch was over, we made a quick grocery run, then headed over to the almost-inlaws.

Dinner was eventually served at about 5:30 or so (I wasn’t paying that close of attention to the time, though I was getting very hungry by that point).   I’d refused to snack on anything throughout the evening, and I think that was my first mistake.   By not keeping control of my hunger while watching others munch, it just make me crave everything more and more.    When it was time to fix my plate, I went for a country-style rib, a hot dog (sans bun), macaroni salad, and potato salad.   Overall, I thought I did pretty well (though later found out how wrong I really was).   I scarfed all of them down pretty quickly, and went back for a brat and some lemon bread that was available.   Originally, that was my hard limit, until I was offered the opportunity to have some leftover banana nut bread that Megan partook of.   Finally, about 20 minutes after dinner, out came my Kryptonite – Cupcakes.   I just had to have one, and boy, it was worth it.

I finally ran the numbers, and I’m absolutely shocked at the pork rib.   Next time, I’ll just aim for 1/2 or 1/3 of one.  It was delicious, but not worth almost 1/2 of my daily intake.
