Mutant Diet Phase 2 Day 19

Yesterday was the dreaded team lunch at Pink Thai.

It’s not the team I dread; it’s the carbs. At Pink Thai there’s a cheap (for a reason) set lunch menu; I had pork and vegetables. The arrived with a small salad with wonton. It was OK, but it wasn’t much food. The rice is the enemy and I didn’t eat all of it.

A technique a coworker, who’s at Weight Watchers, used was to literally take half of her meal and put it on another plate out of reach. Fortunately that extraneous half was out of my reach. It’s an interesting technique. In my case, the trick would be to isolate any carbs and put them aside.

The downside to this was that I was killer hungry by the time I made it home, despite a power bar at work.

It seems to always boil down to better planning.

And, before I forget, let’s talk about muffins. I did not have enough time today to prepare bacon and eggs for this morning and I had to take a risk and go to Urban Fare for their breakfast buffet. I dodged the carbs there. But it made me remember that I used to go to Urban Fare every day for a muffin or croissant and coffee. This is now a distant memory. It also confirms my theory that my body is hanging onto weight for dear life because, according to common sense, I should have lost more given the changes I’ve made.

Age, stress and lack of sleep are not our friends.
