Losing Weight with Starscream

Starscream · 01-30-2009, 02:18 PM

Off to eat like a horse. Going to Olive Garden tonight w/ the wife to celebrate her getting a new job. Then to see a movie and have a big @$$ bag of popcorn. I've saved up some points for this. And I'm gonna work hard to make up for it too. Eating like this once in a while can't hurt.

BTW, today makes 4 weeks of me not drinking. I think that helps a lot with the weightloss.

Didn't do too bad last night at the OG. The appetizer was fried calamari (delicious, but not healthy), and for the main course I had seafood portofino (shrimp, scallops, and mussels are pretty light, although the pasta and alfredo sauce were fattening). The large popcorn (no butter) at the movie theater wasn't that healthy either. Yesterday was also my four week mark w/o alcohol.

I thought popcorn with no butter wasn't to bad for you?

Movie theater popcorn is still fattening. They pop it in heavy oil. It's not the worst you can do, better than buying the candy at the movies.

Air popped is the best way. Then you can add smaller amounts of your own butter/salt or dry seasoning. I've used Mrs. Dash spices for this. Interesting flavours but no MSG.

The other way to to have it the way you like and just eat a smaller amount. I love popcorn so that part is difficult for me.

I've been having a decent weekend. I may actually be on track for a good weigh-in on Thursday.

Woo Hoo!
Finally made it below the 250 mark. Official weigh-in today was 247lbs, a drop of three pounds for the week. That makes it a total of 14lbs in a month.

Breakfast: Wheat toast w/ spinach and asagio chicken sausage (4pts)
Lunch: Same as breakfast (4pts)
Dinner: ?

Hopefully going walking after school with a good cigar.
