I continue to do well in controling what I eat. While assisting my instructor/friend yesterday, I constantly declined offers of snacks with mega carbs in them, until I could get home. My problem is that it's a struggle for me here in Saudi to avoid getting depressed. On top of my family not being allowed back in, because of the security problems, my wife (understandably so) gets quite frustrated sometimes and I'm the convenient telephonic punching bag for it. Life sucks sometimes, ya know? The only positive note is that unlike before, I no longer reach for the ice cream, chips, and the-like.
Tonight I made a SPICY lentil dish, and a sweet potato. Sweet potatoes are much better for you than white potatoes, albeit in moderation. I just wrapped it in a paper towel and nuked it for 5 minutes. A sliver of butter and some Mrs. Dash for xtra taste. Some fat free jello for desert.
I also have made it a point not to weigh myself so often, as the lack of needle movement can be disconcerting. Anyway, ta ta for now...
