Ok, as if this week hasn't been weird enough, yesterday, a new client invited me to lunch. Well, since I do this quite frequently, I've gotten really good at carrying my dressing and having a salad with chicken or beef. So no worries right? I am a pro at this!

So I arrive at their office, and we take care of business first. Well, they are always looking at their watches, because we have a lunch reservation...at a charity luncheon!!! It's a once a month thing to benefit their Historical Society, and it's prepared by a local chef, preplated and then served by volunteers!!! All I could think about was what Dr. S wrote about diplomats...and then laugh! I decided that it was what it was, and to eat the best I could, and just not sweat the small stuff. So I enjoyed the Eggs Benedict, without the bread, I enjoyed the strawberry spinach salad with pecans in a vanilla vinagrette. I even enjoyed a few of the roasted cubed potatoes. Then I chose what appeared to be the least dangerous, and smallest dessert off of the dessert tray. It was mini waffles made like a sandwich filled with a cream cheese that had cinnamon, and other spices mixed in, topped with fresh strawberries. There were 2 on a plate, and I ate one.
That is the most food that I have eaten in a month almost! And I was stuffed, and I wasn't even hungry last night!!!!!! I made myself eat a bowl of cabbage soup with one egg plus an egg white, because I knew that the one egg at lunch hadn't been enough protein.

But the point is, I didn't behave like an addict! On my way home I had to stop and get more fruit and broth, and they had valentines caca everywhere...didn't even really get my attention! I know that I should have no reason to doubt that
this diet works. I guess as I am now closer to the end of my round, and knowing that I will have to experiment on P3 with some carbs because of my Danskin Training, that in reality I am scared to death that I will gain all this weight right back.

Ok, tonight is Chili Supper at our school. I won last year. I was thinking about making Protocol cabbage chili...hehehe, but I think that I will stick with the winning recipe from last year.

Thanks for listening!

On to comments from yesterday:

Lili, you know, who knew that being a parent was such hard work! I just bawled yesterday at the injustice that is being done to my daughter.

Biz, I believe whole heartedly that if I will be still and listen, I will know what the right thing to do is. But you are right it DOES bite!

Ed and Jenn, Thanks, you are right. She will get a better education I think. And everything WILL work out for the best.
