Sooooo, I weighed in today. I gave myself a week and change as a 'grace period.' Also, I gave myself a week and a piece because there was no fucking way I was going to write on this blog that I was back up over 400lbs.
Ok, so what, I was. But I'm not any more. 398.8 as of this morning, which is actually down about 7 since I started keeping track again. It's also up about 28 from the bottom of where I was last year. So, long way to go, but I'm-a-goin.
Breakfast:
Two yogurts.
Lunch:
A three scoop, 12oz of milk protein shake.

Day 374:
Breakfast:
Two yogurts and an apple. Quelle surprise!
Snack:
Special-K Pastry Crisps - Brown Sugar Cinnamon. These were pretty bad ass. They're a lot like brown sugar cinnamon pop tarts, just very little. So, yum.
Lunch:
Lean Cuisine Pasta Romano w/ Bacon, three carrots with a little bit of hummus and peanut butter, and an apple.
Snack:
Campbell's Natural Gouda Bisque with Chicken - Dear lord, this was grotesque. This was my second Campbell's Natural bisque, and there won't be a third. I've been trying soup for a mid-afternoon snack because it's salty and filling for not really that many calories. I'm going to have to try a different soup.
Snack2:
You want to guess? An apple.
Dinner:
Spaghetti Squash with tomato sauce and a little bit of grated parmesan cheese.
Dessert:
I got some good news this week about my job, so Christine brought champagne (which we didn't have, but will) and the ingredients for one of our favorite healthy desserts - bootleg banana cream pie. It's really just fat free cool whip, a sliced banana, and two crushed graham crackers. But it's a lot like banana cream pie, so that's pretty awesome.

Day 373
This was a very hungry day. I just couldn't really get it under control, but I don't think I did TOO badly.
Breakfast:
Two yogurts and an apple. Surprise.
Snack:
An apple.
Lunch:
A big bowl of shredded BBQ chicken and an apple.
Lunch-zert:
One cup of Giant brand frozen greek yogurt.
Snack:
A Lean Cuisine french bread pepperoni pizza and an apple.
Dinner:
Two turkey burgers with ketchup.
So, definitely a heavier day than I'm really looking for, given that lunch-zert was a thing that existed, and that my snack was a damn Lean Cuisine pizza. But I didn't go through the drive-thru on the way home from walking Dex, which my instincts were screaming for me to do. So, victory?

Day 372
Breakfast:
Two yogurts and a very small apple.
Lunch:
A big ol' bowl of shredded BBQ chicken.
Snack:
Two carrots with peanut butter.
Dinner:
Flank steak stuffed with reduced fat feta, and baked sweet potato 'fries'. This was a DELICIOUS meal.
Dessert:
One cup of Giant brand frozen greek yogurt - black cherry flavored. For 300 calories, this was insanely delicious. A totally reasonable facsimile of ice cream.

Day 371
Breakfast:
Two yogurts, as usual, and a pear.
Lunch:
A big bowl of the shredded BBQ chicken that I made, and another pear.
Snack:
A can of Campbell's Naturals Butternut Squash Bisque - this looked really good, and I know Christine had it before and really enjoyed it. I didn't love the taste, but it's the only can I bought, so no harm, now foul.
Snack 2:
Two carrots with peanut butter.
Dinner:
Alex and I went to Potbelly - I had a big ham on thin-cut bread, with a little tiny bit of mayo, lettuce, tomato, hot peppers, and lots of pickles. Totally delicious, and 6-700 calories, which is lots but not awful for my biggest meal of the day. I had about 4 BBQ PopChips, which were nice texturally, but tasted like hot garbage.
I also had about 3oz of bourbon. Om nom.

Day 370
Breakfast:
Another 3-scoop, 12oz protein shake, and another apple. Not sure what lunch will bring, but it helps that I'm writing this at 12:30, so lunch is just around the corner, which is convenient because I'm hungry. I think I was finally making some progress re: setting expectations with my stomach, and last night pretty much shot that to hell, but c'est la vie. I had a carrot with some peanut butter before we left my apartment, too.
Lunch:
For lunch we went to Tropical Smoothie Cafe, an old stand-by. I had a buffalo chicken wrap and a carrot smoothie (with Splenda). Good amount of food, and not as bad on the calories as you'd think. 6-700.
Dinner:
I had a pack of Special K pastry crisps before dinner. Pretty awesome things, they're a lot like pop tarts, but ran me 100 calories for the admittedly little pair of them for dinner, we had chicken lettuce wraps. Lean protein, veggies, and hoisin sauce. As an aside, Christine and I both mistakenly believed that hoisin and plum sauce were the same thing, or at least the same ballpark. Not so much. We'll have these again, but with duck/plum sauce. Wait, are duck and plum sauces the same? Or similar? God, who knows. But given their names, we'll be looking for a light version no matter what.

Day 369
Breakfast:
A 3-scoop, 12oz/milk protein shake. Big and filling, yum. Also, another apple.
Lunch:
Leftover pot roast and a carrot with a little bit of peanut butter.
Dinner:
Ohhhhh dinner. You were a killer. But I've been pretty good, and these things happen. I had five small flour tortillas with steak fajita stuff - steak, peppers, onions - and a dollop of Sour Cream. Then I had some small sopaipillas and some insane thing that was like an egg roll with cheesecake/cream cheese-y goodness in it. Oh, and two margaritas.
I felt kind of OK about that meal last night - I knew it was bad, but I figured it could be worse. In the cold, hard light of the next day, I'm not sure how much worse it could have been. I guess 'worse' would be A) having two-three meals like that in a day (of which I'm entirely capable) or B) not getting back on the horse the next day. I'm not going to do either of those things.
