March 7, 2012: Restaurant Latinos #2

Medifast Status: Day 309, Down ~76.5lbs (23.5lbs to go)

Tonight, after work, Dominica sent me over to Restaurant Latinos #2 to pick up dinner.  That proved to be more difficult than we would have hoped.  No one in the restaurant when I went there spoke English, at all.  That was a little bit challenging.  I did my best to point and explain.  They make the common restaurant mistake of cranking the music way, way up so that even if I spoke the best Spanish in the world they would not be able to hear me.  That we are communicating in Spanish is really inconsequential given that I could hear nothing additional in English with the signal to noise ratio that they have going on in there.

I finally got our dinners and it was, more or less, what I had intended to order.  Dominica got the same smoked fish that she had last time (with the head and everything) and really liked and I decided to try the fried fish instead.  The fried fish proved to be very good and is not battered so that it is fried is really not much of a health concern.  It was a pretty healthy fish and quite tasty.  I will get that again there.

We ate dinner and watched some television.  Quiet evening.

March 26, 2012: Rockfish Mondays

Back to the work week.  Very little to report for today.  Some days are just like that.

Went to Medifast at nine this morning and did my check in.  It wasn’t a great check in but it was cautiously good.  I’m nearly back to my low weight and making progress.  We decided that I have to begin “transition” at Medifast, even though I am a few pounds away from my original goal, because if I do not I am going to be unprepared for getting to Europe.  My body needs to be back to “normal” food before we get there or things are going to be really tough.  So this week I get to eat all of my veggies again, not just the low carb ones, and next week I get to start having fruit again.  That will be nice.  I miss a lot of those flavours.

Work was work.  Went home for lunch.  Had a half hour meeting with Dell today.

After work I stopped at Rockfish and picked up dinner for the family.  Dominica always wants me to get Rockfish on Fridays but they take forever on Fridays because they are busier and I always have to work late so I am tired and trying to get home.  Mondays is the only day that makes sense because the club is not open so we aren’t wasting an opportunity to eat there affordably in exchange with spending more at Rockfish.

Slow night, we are a bit tired after the concert last night.  At least we pulled off a nice walk after the concert and got ourselves some exercise.
