Tough day....

The eating part wasn't a problem, it was the fact an old friend died early this morning. Very sad for all the family and friends. He was one of those guys everyone absolutely loved. The kind of guy who never hurt anyone. A great person who will be deeply missed by many many people. If you've lived a life that was so brilliant, that others feel that loss so deeply, then I think you've lived a life worth living. Good bye my friend.

So, in all the weirdness I did manage to go to the grocery store and stock up on about $40 worth of groceries.

For breakfast I had another V8 and the Scrambled Eggs with Veggie sausage. Around noonish, I had a snack of Pretzals. They weren't really all that great. Very bland, but edible, I guess. For lunch I had the Chocolate Raspberry bar, which was really really yummy. Probably the best thing I've eaten so far.  I had a very late lunch at 5:00, but was feeling very headachy, so went shopping and then had supper.

I got home at 6:15, to find a message on my machine that a friend had sent me an EXTRA LARGE, EVERYTHING ON IT PIZZA from Round Table, as a thank you. Ugh. I haven't told any friends about my Nutrisystem experiment (I don't need the nags bagging on me for what I eat, if I slip up, lol). Anyway, so soon after I get home Round Table knocks at my door with my extra large pizza and a salad. Whew. The salad will be my saving grace! I open up the pizza box, scrap about half the stuff off the pizza for one of the youngins (we usually order garlic chicken, so the kids aren't in to all the pepperoni, sausage and salami). I then promptly packed up half the pizza and took it across the street to my neighbors. The neighbors stepped out for a bit and some of their friends were sitting on the porch waiting for them, so I handed over the foil wrapped package, and honestly, with the hungry look those folks gave me, I'm pretty sure the pizza is history by now!

Got back home and tasted a total of three small hunks of sausage and one slice of pepperoni. That was more than enough for me. I then took the salad poured Fat Free Italian on it, and enjoyed. The Fat Free Italian I bought, was really REALLY good. Usually those fat frees tastes chemically, so it was nice this one didn't.

After the salad, I made a big salad from the veggies I bought earlier. I had two huge bowls of that. It really was tasty (I make a damn good salad!) and I honestly didn't miss the pizza at all. I filled up on salad purposely, because I knew with being so sad about my friend, and a huge ol' delicious pizza calling my name, that I had to be proactive and fill up on something more appropriate, knowing my willpower might falter.

I also had another V-8, so I think I'm pretty good in the veggie arena today, and upped my calories sufficiently so I may be closer to having 1200-1300 calories today.

Awww. What a day.

Around 7:30 I had the Beef Stroganoff which was pretty bad. I only at the
