Another Week Bites the Dust!

Well another week has come & gone, both with and without struggles.

I did pretty well this week, even considering that Tuesday was our Employee Appreciation Luncheon which was held at Buca di Beppo's this year.

If you've never been to 'Buca's' let me tell you that it's an incredible place to eat, but don't go alone! Go in a group of at least four or more! Their food is served family style, and a small serves two to three people depending upon their appetites.

We were served freshly baked bread, followed by two types of salad (regular and Caesar), then spaghetti w/ meat sauce, fettucini alfredo and chicken parmesan, along with baskets of garlic bread. Mmmmmmm...yum! To top off all of that, we had two different types of dessert (cheesecake with strawberry sauce and pistachios and an ooey gooey chocolate cake).

I at a lot of salad first, so I was able to take smaller portions of the entrees served and, yes, I had dessert (but only very small pieces of each). The chocolate cake was super rich & the cheesecake was superb!!!

I tried to be really good the rest of the week, but Friday I gave in & stopped at Sonic for a SuperSonic cheeseburger w/ tots (they were free, so how could I say no?) and a chocolate milk shake.

I think that I would probably have lost more, but I gave in to the crave.

All in all, though, it wasn't a bad week (food-wise).

I did have a few days of very bluesy moods, though. I really missed Randy this week, as this time last year was his first bout with bronchitis, the death of one of the cats (Angel had a heart attack & died in my arms the night before the KY Derby, which is this coming Saturday) followed by the death of one of our dogs (Bebe, the Boston Terrier) two weeks later. As you can see, last year was not a good year in our house.

But enough of gloom.....it's gloomy enough outside my window today!!

My weight this morning was 262.0, for a total loss of 12.8 pounds since March 28, 2010.

YIPEE!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Later, gators....gotta get back to work, as break time is now over. I'll write more next week.
