alliancesjrMorning Weigh-in: 225
Still going the proper direction. You may have noticed that it slowed a bit, and that I didn't check in last week. Adam (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
skybreak_seeker) was visiting us, and we went out to eat more often than not - including a trip to the Melting Pot up in Arlington Heights, which is not conducive to anyone trying to stick to a diet.
(Unrelated side-note: Their Fiesta cheese appetizer is heavenly. It's as if a choir of angels swooped down, deposited a bushel of jalapenos on my head, and flew away whilst laughing their wings off.)
That said, I did at least try to stick to my portion control, though I've slipped a few times. I've also stuck to the diet soda restriction I've placed upon myself, no matter how many times I've been tempted to stray from this vile imitation.
In any case, I'm hesitant to declare that I'm tapering off, because of said extenuating circumstances. Once I do, however, I'll take a look and see what I can change of my diet next. One thing at a time, after all; I want to keep my eating habits as unchanged as possible while still achieving my goal.
SCIENCE.
In somewhat related news, I still need to upload the pictures and video from this Sunday's excursion to Pekin/Peoria, where my family and I attended the annual Pumpkin Chuck. There were trebuchets, catapults, and actual gigantic cannons, including the Illudium X-36 Pumpkin Modulator. ("Where was the gourd-shattering kaboom? There was supposed to be a gourd-shattering kaboom!")
I'll get them uploaded. IT WAS AWESOME YOU GUYS.
