Today is theoretically day four of our diet plan, except that we kinda quit following it very closely after day two. This was mainly due to a couple work events R had and me being on the road today. However, we have been following it more or less, and overall we have been eating much healthier than we normally would have.
For instance, tonight we had to run some errands, and normally we would have either eaten out or grabbed fast food to go. Instead, we decided to buy a rotisserie chicken with our groceries, and we also got a can of fat free baked beans, a bag of broccoli slaw, and some lower calorie cole slaw dressing. When we got home, it took us two minutes to whip up dinner, and it was delicious! If you've never tried the broccoli slaw (we hadn't) I highly recommend it.
Anyway, I haven't stepped on the scale, and I'm not sure I will, because that tends to derail me when I have been making healthy choices. But I did go to Macy's today, because I had a job interview out of town, and there happened to be a Macy's two blocks from the office. Two months ago when I lost my job, I bought a pair of black pants specifically to wear for job interviews, because none of my nice pants fit me so well anymore. I knew these pants were kind of big on me last time I had an interview, but nothing that kept me from wearing them.
Until I walked into the Macy's dressing room today, caught a glimpse of myself in these giant pants, and realized I looked like a clown! Or a homeless person. Or something. I mean, they were HUGE. Holy cow.
So I bought a new pair of black pants. In one size smaller. Yay!
