Diet Day 40 & Diet Day-Off Day 41
posted on 2/13/11 5:45 am
Friday was day 40 of the diet, it was to be our Valentine's Day dinner, I was hoping to have something really good and we chose this restaurant that had the best cannoli even though the other food was okay last time we ate there. During the day I had two protein bars in preparation for dinner, so we get to the casino and I order my standard iced tea with lemon, it comes and its the most vile crap I have ever tasted, it didn't even taste like tea. I asked the waitress about it and she said they brew it themself, I asked that it be removed. We had some bread and butter, it was so crunchy on the outside I couldn't even eat it, seriously I think it caused my gums to bleed it was so hard, it was fine on the inside but rock hard on the outside. So I ordered eggplant dish, it is very small, good for a wls patient, 3 tiny triangles of eggplant in sauce with cheese on top. I ate two squares, I was preparing for my dessert, the cannoli is made with a light handspun shell, filled with cheese and citron and pistacchio nuts. I was so excited, Doug hated them, I adored them, the waitress came and I asked for my cannoli and bam, she singlehandedly ruined my entire Valentine's day by telling me they no longer made the cannoli. Needless to say I left what was a really average dinner less then impressed and no dessert. Pout. So Saturday is diet day off so we get up early to go to the store because I wanted my brownie's, I haven't had any candy or brownies since we started the diet. I also got my bagel from DD, then went home and had two brownie bites and then decided to drive to Newport RI because I am an eco-geek I read all the Audubon sites and found that the Harlequin's are overwintering at the bird sanctuary at Sachuset Point and since I had to go to the airport to pick up Doug's mom and aunt I might as well get some good pictures out of a wasted day. So at 10am I set out on my adventure, I got to Newport before noon time and had two hours before I had to leave to go to the airport to take pictures. So I start walking down the paths and I see the Harlequin's but they are so far out that it's impossible to get even a remotely decent picture even with my 300mm lense. But I did get a bunch of nice pictures of the Common Aider, which is truly a beautiful duck. I am adding a picture here. So after I walk about an hour taking pictures I start to feel it, the crash, I am alone, right on the edge of the ocean, in the freezing cold, no food, no water and my blood sugar is crashing because I am a fucking idiot for eating a bagel and two brownies before I left, and now I start panicking, nice this is just perfect. So I have to talk myself into the fact that I am gonna be fine and I just need to walk back slowly, that I have food and water in my car and I have to concentrate and keep myself from over-reacting. It was scary because I got super cold and my mind really went to mush, but I managed to get back and even take a few pictures along the way. Why I was so stupid to eat any brownies before I left I have no idea. Purely dumb. Once I got back home around 6pm I had half a meatball grinder for dinner, and for snack I had some pretzels and honey mustard and couple of my brownie bites, one at a time spaced out, not together so I could crash my blood sugar again. I did get plenty of exercise though and a few nice ocean pictures.
