Fasting Fam, after all of the planning I did for the week, I learned today that our team outing will cover two days instead of one, starting tomorrow, which would normally be a fast day. Oy.. but these things happen, and I’m not going to deprive myself of this twice a year day of drinking, doing a fun activity, and dinner (with more drinking) with my team. The next day will be the actual work meeting and there will be only one meal served that day, a catered in build your own gyros bar.

That said, I’ve rearranged my ADF week to be:

Tuesday: tomorrow, which should have been a down day: I won’t eat until 11:00 since we’ll be meeting at the bar at 1:00. I’ll have a chicken sandwich. I’ll enjoy all the food and drink with my team since I only see these people twice a year and it’s all on the company dime.

Wednesday: OMAD – enjoy the Greek food catered in at lunch and that’s it.

Thursday: a regular down day – having Dad over for dinner instead of going out and making him a hamburger while I have a hamburger salad.

Friday: a modified up day with no more than 1700 calories

Saturday: a regular down day

Sunday: a regular up day, going to Mexican food with a girlfriend

I was 219 again today on the scale but hadn’t done a #2 yet so who knows.

Today’s indulgent up day eats:

• Coffee with half & half
• Home made pineapple ginger kombucha
• Cereal (but of course!)
• A Vital brand personal pepperoni cauliflower crust pizza (will not repurchase, it’s really bland and only had 4 pepperoni slices WTF??)
• A Thousand Island chicken salad (always yummy)
• A veggie stew using the Harmony House Black Bean chili mix. It was good and filling!
• a handful of saltwater taffy from the beach
• 2 hash brown patties
• 6 Coors Lights
  

Needless to say, I won’t be weighing myself again until after completing Thursday’s down day.
