My own little diet thread!

Well, this week was going fine 'til I went out to El Torito for dinner Saturday night. I was going to get the Fajita Supreme, and just eat all the meat - chicken, steak, and shrimp - but when they brought out the chips and salsa, my will-power vanished! I look at chips as a vehicle to scoop in the salsa, but since I went through three small bowls of salsa...

They had a new margarita that I had to try - had two of 'em...

At least I stayed away from the stack of tortillas, and the rice and beans. :rolleyes:

Bottom line: I had dropped to 223 at one point during the week, but as of this morning, I've back-tracked to 225.

I'll do better this week.

To borrow from P1M...

"Guid oan ye!"

I'm down to 235ish from 272, started in November.

Don't think of it as getting off track. Think of it as giving yourself a well deserved reward.

Now get back up on that horse!

i will refrain from posting fajita pictures & guacamole recipes this time as Iolaus might come after me with the pick axe Kilted KT mentioned earlier.

Keep up the good work Iolaus. I am sure you will drop those remaining pounds in no time...
