Yes. Totally shameless plug for the national food chain Applebees. I greatly appreciate that I can walk in there at any given time, and be handed a menu that already has items listed (and pictured!) for me that are 550 calories and less. For the whole meal. Real food too! Its not like they bring you a slimfast shake in a pretty glass either! Today I had a 7oz sirloin, roasted potatoes, and mixed veggies. Somewhere in the ballpark of 400 calories! On the other hand- Chilis. SCARY. Ever look at their nutrition facts? No? Dont. Or perhaps do. And perhaps you should be sitting. Let me give you an example- Texas fries. I wont even begin to list the ingredients, but I will tell you that its an appetizer. As in, you are supposed to eat MORE when you are done eating these. The calorie count for this delightful delicacy is about 2000 and just under 200grams of fat! FOR AN APPETIZER. So again, thank you Applebees for allowing be to eat a filling lunch without feeling the urge to jump off a cliff when I was done!
Tomorrow is the week 1 weigh in... I'm thinking thin thoughts.... I will be happy I think with at least 3lbs down..... let's hope I can at least do that!
8 days down...172 to go!
