I still weigh 178. I had a bit over 2200 calories for the day. I am having trouble getting a high enough calorie count today considering that my appetite is a bit below normal. I have had lunch, TJs Kung Poa, with no breakfast. I had an Olive Garden lunch portion of Fetuccini Alfredo. I had the last of the cheese cake. I gave the rest to my daughter. I am learning to eat smaller portions, or skip a meal, like breakfast, to allow myself a high calorie meal every now and then.

Here is an aside. I went to Trader Joe’s today. What an eye opening experience that was. Many foods are expensive, with some prices being way over the top. However, I have never seen the breadth of selection before with any grocery store that I have been to. Much of what I saw would be difficult to find elsewhere. And some I did not even know existed. I felt like a kid in a candy shop. So I will definitely have to return to Trader Joe’s every now and then. I just have to be careful with the cost, and the calories.
