I hate skinny bitches

I know it sounds harsh. But its true! I don't hate all skinny women. That would take too much time. And I am also well aware that many, like me, have to work extremely hard to stay as slim as they are in order to EARN that piece of chocolate cheesecake or pile of delicious chicken wings.

But to those of you who hover around the dessert table, eat pizza, and bread sticks, and drink alcohol like there is no tomorrow, and wouldn't know exercise if a treadmill and spandex smacked you in the face- I hate you. Pure and simple.

Ok, now that I got that off of my chest (and I feel MUCH better, thank you!) I actually managed to do quite well yesterday at the fraternity for dinner. I avoided the dessert table (unlike my before mentioned skinny counterparts), I had some lean meats, and kept my fatty meats to a minimum. Oh and I jumped on the few veggies I saw ASAP! I even steered clear of the sweet tea! WOOHOO GO ME!!!!!

Now, tonight will be a totally different story. Because tonight is Live Music and (dum dum dum) . . . CHICKEN WINGS. I know that I cannot possibly hope to stick to this diet forever if I eliminate chicken wings. But considering the fact that I just started last week, I think that if I fell off the bandwagon now, I might never get back on. So, I must come up with an alternative.

Here are my choices:
1. California Chicken Grill- Grilled Chicken Breast, Steamed Veggies, yellow rice & Salsa
2. Homemade Shepherd's pie that I have in the fridge- made with lean beef & FF everything else (PS- this option is free and there is enough to share with my other wing avoiding women folk)
3. Bento or some other asian steamed option

Before you choose, here is how my yesterday went, and what I have planned for the rest of today:

Last night I took the dog for a long walk and then I walked to the gym in my complex. Then I rode the stationary bike, stretched and did crunches, and did light intervals on the treadmill for 20 minutes (i'm just starting out again).

Today's Menu and Workout Plan:

Breakfast
Breakfast Casserole- Sausage & Egg Beaters baked with FF Cheddar Cheese- 306 Cals & YUM

Morning Snack
8 Baby Carrots

Lunch
2oz. Boars Head Cajun Roast Beef, Light Italian Flat Out Wrap, Lettuce & Tomato
1 Reduced Sodium Campbell's Soup at Hand Tomato Soup

Afternoon Snack
Gala Apple

Dinner
?

Workout
A bike ride and dog walk

XOXO,
M

I'd go for the shepherd's pie. But that just sounds really yummy to me right now (and free is always a plus). :)

Yum, shepherd's pie sounds amazing! I don't usually eat wings in big groups because people tend to question my use of a fork:(. I'm different, I know that!

BTW, I laughed about the SB post, too funny!
