Day Eleven Recap

Yesterday was Valentine’s Day which not only means gifts and romance but an elegant dinner as well. Irma and I decided to stay home rather than fight the crowds by trying to go to a restaurant. I cooked her a nice Valentine’s Dinner which included New York Strip, Long Green Beans in my own special sauce and a nice Salad with Romaine Lettuce, Feta Cheese and Newman’s Family Italian Recipe dressing.

Even though I am not supposed to have any alcohol the first 2 weeks of this diet, I decided, “What the heck - it’s Valentine’s Day!” Just one bottle between the two of us. That one ended up being three so I don’t know how that is going to help the diet much but we sure had fun drinking them.

Here is what I consumed on Day 11 (Thursday).

Breakfast:

Grilled Canadian Bacon w/ Cheddar Cheese (6 slices)

Lunch (Dara Thai Cafe):

Salad w/ Feta and Italian Dressing

Dinner:

New York Strip (12 oz)
Polish Sausage (actually grilling for dog but I had a couple of bites)
Long Green Beans (1 serving)
Salad w/ Feta and Italian Dressing
Red Wine - Petite Sirah, Syrah and Red Table Wine (bottle and a half)

Other:

Coffee (1/2 pot)
Oolong Tea (1 cup)
Water (64 oz.)

Exercise:

Did not walk today as my lower left calf is bothering me. Got plenty of Ben Gay to sooth it.
As I weighed myself today (Day 12), I weighed in at 228 lbs. No loss or gain from yesterday. I’m stuck!
