Day 31: Canal Fest. Un-fried Food. Really!

Sunday morning weigh-in: 151.4

Well it was another "steady-as-she-goes" day, after all. Who'd a thunk it?

This morning had my favorite breakfast, which somehow I hadn't had all week

grits and soft-boiled eggs (2 — eggs, that is)
Beaumont fair trade Columbian coffee, black (2 cups)

and then headed out to church, which is just a short one-block walk to Canal Fest. Now you'd think anyone... anyone who's trying to control/lose weight wouldn't go anywhere near this giant celebration of fried food. But go we did, mainly to check out the annual craft show; and also to have a bit o'lunch.

chicken salad w/cranberries and walnuts on a hard roll (1)
Long Island strawberry tea, unsweetened (about 10 oz. of mostly ice)

There, see? It can be done. Was it health food? Well, no, but I still say "Yay, me!" for finding something that hadn't gone into a vat of hot fat.

After that we came home to the rather unpleasant chore of cutting up a tree which had fallen Friday evening during that storm which had just about everything but sharks. It's all out at the curb now, and I worked up an appetite for a little something before dinner.

Simpler Times Pilsner (12 oz.)

Not bad stuff. We picked it up Saturday at Trader Joe's, where they have quite a variety of beers I'd never heard of.

Dinner, was breakfast.

scrambled eggs (one-and-a-half — 
     that's what you get when you cook three eggs and split them two ways)
turkey bacon — insert joke here — (5 strips)
Trader Joe's potato pancake (one-and a half-ish — 
     cooked four, split three ways)
orange juice (12 oz.)

and dessert

Trader Jacques Fleur de Sel Caramel (3)


HGTV Star? Not this guy!
Watched the season finale of HGTV Star. Ugh, what a terrible season, probably my last time watching this show. It didn't help that while watching I snacked on

water (3, 12 oz. each)
Lay's dill pickle potato chips 
     (not many, thank God!)

I think I may be done with those chips for a while, too. Enough is enough.

Good-night, Seattle!
