Still a Learning Process

I got cocky. I've been able to eat a lot of things, in very limited quantities, and I pushed things too far last night with some pork tenderloin. Oh, how I paid for that. It was the first time in a long time I spent an evening sitting next to the toilet, flipping through catalogs.

What a bummer, because pork tenderloin is lean and packed with protein. (Also, I spent all day preparing it, along with roasted potatoes, fennel, carrots and parsnips.)

On the positive side, we had my in-laws over for dinner, but I didn't get sick until after they had left and we'd put the kids to bed. Thank goodness for small blessings.

The scale isn't exactly rocketing down, even though I'm focusing on solid protein and I've noticed a real reduction in the amount I can eat. I'm still 4-5 pounds away from being under 200, which I've been for about three months now. Sigh.

Patience, Padawan.
