Failing But Still Thriving

So I did it. I stress ate. After a late night last night (erm...more like this morning), very little sleep, and a stressful afternoon I managed to convince The Boyfriend it was a good idea to go out for Mexican. We went to Acapulco's down the street and first split nachos (no meat of course), and no refried beans (they didn't have any other kind).

The Boyfriend ordered an Arnold Palmer and 2 ala carte items; a chile relleno and a cheese enchilada. I ordered the gargantuanly proportioned appetizer of taquitos (in my defense the chicken was tequila lime marinated and included in the filling was jack cheese and mushrooms). I did ask for a to-go box right away. 6 large taquitos graced my plate, the sum of their size equalling the size of my head. I placed the first 3 in the box and shut it. I then ate one. Half way through the second, I opened the to-go box and stuffed the third inside. I also knew I shouldn't finish the taquito I was currently working on...but I did.

I did however manage to leave the to-go box at the table rather than bringing it home for my taquito-loving roommate. Probably better this way because there would be a chance she wouldn't take them for lunch tomorrow leaving a chance I would nibble on them....or inhale them whole.

I can say it didn't make me feel very good either emotionally or physically. Forgetting to weigh in before dinner we went afterward and I wanted to shut my eyes. Good thing I didn't or I would have missed the 158 LBS staring at me. That's a 5 LB loss! Yay. The Boyfriend isn't losing as fast as I am but we're going to increase our excercise this week and that will help. He's still losing though so it's the right direction. This evening we went swimming for about 20 min in the heated pool at our apartment complex.

Yesterday I went to the Farmer's Market in Irvine and we did find some yummy things there. It was difficult steering away from all of the tasty fruit samples but we managed mostly. I still think the CFA basket will be cheaper for us once we can have fruit. Also, there website has some random recipes and I tried the eggs baked in tomato cups. Fairly easy but the recipe says to place the tops back on the tomatoes while they bake. My eggs weren't cooked at all. After microwaving them they were fine. I think next time I'll try topless ;)
