Just a quick post. It’s now Febuary and I haven’t made much progress on my weightloss journey.  My successes this week have been with my journaling on MyFoodDiary.com. I have been faithfully journaling every day this week so far.

I brown-bagged today. A very tasty Frozen Meal – Amy’s Tamale Verde *Black Bean*. http://bit.ly/cwEkZm

Amy’s Tamale Verde Black Bean frozen meal heated up in about 4 1/2 minutes.  The quality of the meal was excellent. The taste of the tamale was very good. The rice was fair. For some reason Frozen food manufactures simply can’t get mexican rice correct within a frozen meal.  Nutritional information wasn’t too bad : http://bit.ly/aApxsm

Thanks for reading this blog entry.

Until next time,

Went to Starbucks this morning and had a Pumpkin Loaf and a Venti Caramel Macchiato drink.

Lunch was just a EAS protein shake and a Grilled Chicken snack wrap from McDonalds.

Went to dinner with my wife tonight at Andrew’s French Quarter in Crystal City, MO.  Portions were very small so I didn’t fill totally stuffed when we left. Tons of calories probably.

Well I thought I would post the last three days, but I’m tired. Going to bed early tonight.  Staying up till 1:35 a.m. the night before can take a toll really quick.

I need to start getting creative with some of meals so my blog is not so boring. I did have an amazing lunch at Maggiano’s today. Lunch provided by Symantec.  I was very proad of myself becuase I forced myself to have very small portions. I would would recommend this restaurant to any corporate business or couple that simply wants to have a romantic evening out.  You can follow Maggiano’s on Twitter.com/maggianos.

The food was excellent and fresh. Servers were very polite and my Iced Tea was always full!! Would give Maggiano’s 4 stars.  Come hungry!!
