Friday night we got dressed up and went to the Chocolate Lovers Fantasy fundraiser downtown at the Embassy Suites for Cedars. It was GREAT! They had 18 different chefs that had made all kinds of chocolate delicacies. I had from the simple chocolate cake and brownies to chocolate covered potatoes chips and chocolate covered alligator. It was a great time and I was ready t puke chocolate by the time we left, it was my kind of night. Afterwards we were craving some salt so we stopped at McDonald's on the way home and got some fries to eat.
Saturday we went shopping at the mall and got groceries in the morning. We had planed to come home and make some Mac and Cheese for lunch but we ran a little long at the mall and we were starving by the time we left the grocery store so garbed some Wendy's on the way home. I had a Spicy chicken sandwich, fries and a lemonade. What I was happy about was that I did not Large Size my meal at lunch. I am starting to take steps in the right direction.
Saturday night we were going to Omaha to see the Mary Poppins Musical at the Orpheum Theater. We decided that we would stop at Anthony's Steakhouse for dinner on our way to the show. That was an unmitigated disaster. We got there and found out that they take reservations, witch we didn't have(I mean really who takes reservations anymore) but they said it would be 15-20 minutes for us to get a table. It was 6:10 and the show wasn't until eight so we decided to wait. At around 6:35 I was getting annoyed and my wife said that they had just told the couple that had come in right behind us that it would be another twenty minutes for their table. I went up to the hostess stand and talked to them and they promised that they would get us a table in less than ten minutes. I looked at my watch and said if it wasn't in ten minutes we would have to leave if we wanted to eat before our show. So finally at 6:45 we get a table. We figured we still had time to eat and get to the show so we were happy. Then we waited for our waitress, and waited, and waited. Finally she came and took our drink orders and an appetizer order then we didn't see here again for awhile. Finally she came and took our en tree orders. Finally our salads came and by the time we finished them our waitress cam over and said that she had forgotten to turn our ticket in so i found would be a little later. At this point it was almost 7:30 and I told her we just want to pay for what we have eaten and go because we had a show to get to. So even though I ordered a plate of food all I got was some chips and dip and a Salad before we had to leave. On the bright side I loved the show! It was a fun colorful show with great music and great acting. By the time the show was over we were getting pretty hungry so when we got back to town we stopped at McDonald's again on our way home. This time I got a McDouble and a large Hi-C orange drink. The night was really fun but the restaurant and it's service was very disappointing, needless to say we won't be going back there again.
Sunday we did some cleaning around the house and had subs delivered from Mr. Goodcent's (This seems to be a recurring trend) for lunch. Then for Super Bowl Sunday we just had some fun appetizer foods during the game. We had Mini Beef Tacos, Mac & Cheese Bites, cheese queso dip with chips and some mixed caramelized nuts (All from Tarder Joe's). I also had a few beers during the game. It was a fun game and fun food. Maybe not the healthily but hey it was the Super Bowl.

January 28th - January 30th Weekend Update
We ran some errands on Friday night and on the way home I finally gave in to the temptation of twenty chicken nuggets for five dollars at McDonald's. I also had a large fry and a snack size McFlurry.
On Saturday I weighed in and lost weight! Woo Hoo!!! Then for lunch my wife got some tacos from Amigo's on her way home from work. I had two soft tacos and two crunchy tacos. I didn't snack at all during the day witch I was very proud of. Then for supper we meet my family for my Mom's Birthday and had pizza at Ramono's Pizza. I had three cheese bread sticks and two pieces of meaty pizza. Then we went back to my sister’s house and had some TCBY Frozen Yogurt cake.
Sunday we got up early and went to meet my wife's family for her Uncles 90th Birthday. We ate a brunch buffet at the Outpost Grille. The food was not the best quality or selection, so luckily that meant I didn't over eat. I started out with the best item on the buffet a made to order omelet. Mine had ham, bacon, mushrooms and cheese. I also had a few waffles, they were pretty good to. I had two waffles with syrup on them and two with strawberries on them. The rest of the buffet was sad to say the least. I did have a piece of sausage with my second plate of waffles but it was really dry and looked like it had been laying in the warmer for way to long. To top off the meal I had a sad looking apple turnover that turned out to taste really good. By the time we got home it was late so we just ordered some sandwiches from Mr. Goodcent’s and had them delivered. I had a Turkey Artichoke Club. It was a new sandwich on their menu and it was good enough that I would order it again.
Over all it was a pretty good weekend, I didn’t feel like I over ate too much and I didn't binge or graze at all.
The exciting news of the weekend was that we got the call that our recumbent bike is in and it will be delivered at the end of the month. I am very excited to get the bike and start working out in the evening along with my lunch time workouts.

January 21st - January 23rd Weekend Update
Over all it was a pretty good weekend. I feel like I ate pretty well, didn't over eat and did some physical activity. On Friday night we ran some errands so we got a Papa Murphy's pizza on the way home. I had some bread sticks and only had 2 pieces of pizza.
On Saturday my parents were in town so we meet them for lunch at Runza where I had a double cheeseburger, large onion rings, large lemonade and a bowl of broccoli cheese soup. This was probably my worst meal. In hind sight I should have had a single burger and no soup but I had skipped breakfast and I was starving. Saturday afternoon and evening we hunkered down and watched some movies during a Midwest snow storm. While we watched the movies I had a bag of microwave popcorn in the afternoon and then two hotdogs for supper. Saturday afternoon I also made up an egg casserole for breakfast on Sunday and all of next week. It is a really simple recipe, I will put up later, that you make the day before and let sit in the fridge overnight before you bake it.
Sunday morning I got up and did a little physical activity. I saw the sun coming out around 8:30a.m. so I got my winter gear on and fired up the snow blower. I cleared off a 3 foot drift on the driveway and all of our sidewalks in about 20-30 minutes. Before I had gone out I threw the egg casserole in the oven so when I got back inside it would be ready to eat. The casserole was great and I had a glass of juice and a few cups of coffee with it to warm me back up. For lunch I had half of a frozen pizza. Then for supper we ordered some sandwiches from a local sub shop.

January 14th - January 17th Weekend Update
Well this weekend didn’t go so great. I started it off my going to a buffet at the casino on Friday night and eating way to much food (I did win seventy dollars though). Saturday daytime wasn’t too bad, we spent the day taking down all of the Christmas stuff so that involved going up and down the stairs a lot. I had half a frozen pizza and some chips for lunch and for dinner a club sandwich I got comped from the casino on Friday night. We had a Wedding Reception on Saturday night where I had water and a piece of cheese cake. Sunday I had two hotdogs and some cottage cheese for lunch and we ordered some pizza and bread sticks for supper. The big problem on Sunday was I ate half a bag of chips while I sat and watched football in the afternoon. Monday I had some leftover pizza for lunch. I slow cooked a chuck roast in barbeque sauce all day and we had that with some cottage cheese for supper. My problem came in the afternoon when I kept munching on little chocolates we had in the living room all day. Over all I wasn’t happy with how my weekend went food wise and I will be looking to improve it next weekend.

January 7th-9th Weekend Update
On Friday night we went out to Shogun, a Japanese Steak House, with my family to celebrate my sister and brother in-laws birthdays. For starters I had a small salad, soup, fried rice, fried vegetable (carrots, brocoli, onion and zucchini) and for my main dish I had the scallops, witch where heavenly. I also caught 2two of the three shrimp the cook flipped to me. It was a great meal but judging by all the butter he used not the healthiest. LOL
On Saturday we spent the day in Omaha to spend the day with some friends of ours. We met them for lunch at a Petrow's and I had the Roast Beef Casserole special. It was great and probably not terrible for me except for the large chocolate malt I had with it. (I'm a sucker for a good malt) Then back at their house I munched on Cheetos and cookies in the afternoon. For supper I had three hotdogs and a hamburger. I should have backed off on a hot dog but they were Nathan's hotdogs so I didn't. I didn't get close to my eight cups of water in on Saturday but I also didn't drink any pop, we had orange fruit punch and a few beers instead. I know I had malts, beers and sugary drinks but my problem is once I start drink pop I can't stop so the longer I can stay 100% away from it the better.
While we were in Omaha we stoped at Nebraska Furniture Mart and bought a Recumbent Bike so we can exercise at home more. They were out of stock so it will be at least a month before we get it but we are very excited about it.
On Sunday we ran to the store and grabbed some McDonalds on the way back home. I was pretty happy with my self here. I ended up having a McDouble, ten McChicken Nuggets and a large fry. (There was a time not so long ago I would have had tw or three McDoubles instead of just one.
In the afternoon broke down and had a bag of popcorn. but I also got down a few glasses of water.
Sunday evening we made backed chicken with a nacho sauce on it. I had a chicken breast and a half. We also made a bag of Uncle Ben's Spanish rice. Then I didn't have another thing to eat all night. (Gold Star for Sunday Night)
