DINNER 1: Sunday, January 1, 2006

For the first dinner of 2006, we met Chris, Rebecca, and Ted for dinner at Romano’s Macaroni Grill. Wendy enjoyed her usual dish of Penne Rustica, and Drew had a servicable-if-not-very-tasty-or-imaginative Chicken Canniloni. The company sure was enjoyable — Chris & Rebecca are our dive…

DINNER 2: Monday, January 2, 2006

On Monday, January 2, 2006, we had for dinner a large amount of green salad, consisting of lettuce, tomatoes, celery, yellow pepper, mushrooms, carrots, cilantro, and dressed with a squeeze of lemon, and all topped with 6 ounces of delicious (if I do say so…

DINNER 3: Tuesday, January 3, 2006

For this evening’s dinner, we dined one the second of three days on the fantabulous three-day miracle diet that Wendy, Tory, and I were suffering through.

Having loaded up on proteins the day before (and getting rid of those pesky glycogens that slow down weight loss, if the wacko author of the magazine article (that should tell you something right there) was to be believed), today we dined on fruit and plenty of it. Starting at 8:00am and every two hours until 6:00pm, we had two cups of fresh fruit. Our mix was pineapple, watermelon, black seedless grapes, kiwi, and melon. And loads of water.

Dinner was another giant plate of salad, just the same as the day before… Lettuce, tomatoes, celery, yellow pepper, mushrooms, carrots, cilantro, and dressed with a squeeze of lemon, and all topped with 6 ounces of roasted chicken breast without skin.

When I weighed myself at the end of day two, I’d lost about 3 pounds.

DINNER 4: Wednesday, January 4, 2006

On day three of our horrendous three-day miracle diet that Wendy, Tory, and I suffered through, it was a duplicate of day two… Fresh fruit every two hours from 8:00am until 6:00pm and loads of water. At 6:00pm, Wendy had yet another giant salad of…

DINNER 5: Thursday, January 5, 2006

Our three-day miracle diet trip-through-hell done (Wendy lost 4.5 pounds, Tory lost 7, and Drew lost 5), we jumped right back on the crappy food bandwagon.

For dinner, we dined at Frisch’s restaurant, a glorified greasy spoon comparable to Shoney’s. The main attractive feature of Frisch’s is the proximity to our house and the fact that it is never ever crowded. Wendy had her usual — a Tuna Melt and Fries, while Drew enjoyed a nostalgic dinner of Open-Faced Turkey with Gravy and Mashed Potatoes. This dish reminds Drew of his latchkey childhood, and microwave-able after-school-snacks of Turkey and Gravy over white bread. Crap food, yes, but it was comforting.

DINNER 6: Friday, January 6, 2006

Tonight was a busy night and a lot of fun. After a full work day, I headed to a local tavern called Holy Grail where I was meeting my old boss (he just retired), two colleagues, and their spouses for drinks. Because I got there…
