Great day yesterday. A lot of calories, but had a great day at work and in the evening with my wife!

Breakfast:

Plain Bagel [4.25 oz] (290 calories)

Plain Cream Cheese [2 oz] (200 calories)

Total for Breakfast: 490 calories

Lunch:

Chipotle BBQ Grilled Snack Wraps (qty: 2): 520 calories

Lite Minute Made Lemonade - 20 calories

Total for Lunch: 570 calories

Dinner:

Dinner was absolutely amazing. Rachel and I went to Ruth’s Chris Steak House in downtown Clayton.  Vallet parking and then the dinner extravaganza began.  I cannot express how awesome the dinner experience was.  I am one of very high standards and pickiness when it comes to a dinner experience and Ruth’s Chris Steak House was 5 stars in my book.  So let us begin:

I started off with their Calamari which was sautéed in an amazing Thai sauce.  The flavor was amazing.

I’m going to say based on other chain restaurants about 500 calories.

I had two New Belgium 2 degrees below beer: 400 calories

Pull on your wool socks and crack open a 2 Below Ale. This tasty winter warmer started life as a small batch beer brewed for the Al Johnson Uphill Downhill - a telemark ski race in Crested Butte, Colorado. The Uphill Downhill celebrates the exploits of Al Johnson, letter carrier extraordinaire, who delivered mail by ski in the late 1800’s. Dry hopping during fermentation creates a floral nose with a hint of pepper and spicy, subtle undertones. 2 Below provides a bright, hoppy palate and a cheery warm afterglow.

 I had a about a cup of their Au Gratin home-prepared potatoes: about 350 calories.

These Au Gratin potatoes were just liked grandma used to make!!

The main course was amazing. I had a 6oz filet and stuffed lobster tail.
6oz filet: 348 calories
Stuff Lobster Tail: 220 calories

For desert I shared their Bread Pudding with Whiskey Sauce with Rachel.
Estimated Calories: 590 calories.

Conclusion: I would recommend Ruth’s Chris Steak House to anyone! Yummy!!!!

Total for dinner: 2408 calories

Good morning.  It’s FatManonaDiet.com Version 2.0.  After a long couple of weeks of election preparation and busiest at work I am back and centered on the continuation of my weight loss goals.  I can’t tell you how important it is to journal.  After weighing in this morning and finding out that I have gained around 5 pounds I’m even more focused now to keep going.  One of things that I want to start doing is being more involved with my web site and focus on finding web sites and meal ideas that make since.  I’m also planning on, as I have said many times in the past, going to the gym to get some cardio in. 

I want to be more frequent in my posting also. I have found that if I wait till the last minute to post the entire day it takes much longer.  So here we go!

Hi Everyone,

As you might have noticed I haven’t post much of anything this past week.  Well…this past week has been very busy.  Posting to this blog takes time which I didn’t have very much of this week.  I’m trying to think of ways to make time and it really comes back to desire.  I have to get my drive back.

Well this morning I’m going to go to the driving range and hit some golf balls and then go to Waffle House. I’ll post my meals later on today.

See ya.

Jason
