#drop10beforetri Sure, the first few pounds were easy, but I knew this dropping 10 pounds thing was not going to be a straight line downwards. I know myself pretty well, and there's one thing for sure — I LOVE FOOD. LOVE. FOOD. This doesn't mean I eat a ton of junk, but it does mean that it is hard for me to pass up tasty, well-made food, even though I know it's caloric. Eating at work or home is easy for me to do in a healthy fashion, but at Eleven Madison Park? I tried, to a point, ordering a salad and the asparagus veloute, but lord knows how much butter and/or cream was in that soup, and then I got the cheese plate, which pretty much used up my points for that day but DAMN IT WAS GOOD CHEESE! And then last night, at the Employees Only cordial launch party, I could only ignore the truffled grilled cheese the first four times it passed by but then I had one. A tiny square of gooey goodness that I couldn't pass up. And frankly, I'm glad I ate it, because it was tasty. Considering how much food waltzed by me last night, I did pretty well, but I did have a snack when I got home. This is tough stuff for me.
So, the scale has reflected my eating for the past two weeks. Since the last update, I gained 0.4 last week and 0.4 again, so a gain of less than one pound in two weeks — not dreadful — but I'd like to get the scale to head back down again. With a trip to Phoenix and the Manhattan Cocktail Classic coming up, should be a disaster cinch.

You can do it Laren! But even if you find that you can’t, you still look fabulous and you are healthy, so there are worse things. Ya know?

Thanks, Harlene! And indeed, there are many worse things 🙂
