Off to Bush Country

Went to Rocco's birthday party last night. It was at Carluccio's in the Liberace Plaza. The food wasn't bad, moderatly priced. I stuck to my NS though, I had a cup of Chicken soup and 1/2 baked chicken which I removed the skin. I was a bit surprised they didn't serve any vegtables with dinner. They did give me a side of pasta, but I gave that to my sister. There were quite a few people there, around 30, most of which I didn't know, but it was nice meeting his family and friends. It was a long day though, hard day at work, home to shower and change and then 3 1/2 hours at the party. By the time I got home around 10pm I was beat.

I still had trouble making my calories for the day. I came in around 1600, still 200 below where I should be. I think it's running me down a bit so I need to get those calories up to where they should be. If only I had an appetite. Yes, not having an appetite is a good thing is you are trying to lose weight. Guess I shouldn't complain about it.

Well, looks like I'm off to Texas. Not ever sure what I'm going to do there, but it's not a vacation. I'm taking enough NS foods for a week, if it's longer than that then I guess I will have to do NS on my own, which I know I can. I have this down pretty good I think. I wonder if the airport will search my bag and see that food. Maybe they will think I'm smuggling drugs in NS sealed containers? Then again, I have the perfect alibi, I'm fat!!!!

I have been told not to expect internet access, just intranet, so I might not be able to post here until I return. I do apologize to those of you who email me if I don't respond for a bit. But I will post and reply as soon as I return or if I can from there I will.
