Musings of a neurotic

Bad news, expected, but still bad news.  In other news, pizza makes you gain weight.   It’s not a complete loss but it was a bad day.  I was handed next weeks menu but I’m not entirely certain I’ll be able to keep it.  My mother-in-law is a woman who loves to cook, she’s rather good at it, and support my wife and me, alas, I cannot ask her to prepare a meal for me, or even us, when 4 children (including 2 babies), my father-in-law (who has had a heart attack and thus keeps a special diet) and ocassionaly my sister-in-law and her husband are all eating at the same house.  I’m hopeful I can adhere to the plan as much as can be expected although the diminutive nutritionist gave me a stern talking-to stating she expects a 3 kg drop if everything is done properly.

Also I figured out that the fruit I was taking as a snack was only allowed the first week, so that didn’t help.  This is going to be a theme later on.

• Lunch: 1 steak (should’ve been 2 but my wife made a mistake while preparing the meal), 1 kitchen spoonful of rice; 1 cup salad, 1 tortilla
