August 31 - Two months gone bye bye, how times flies, and I really don’t think fun has anything to do with it.

 Yes! Throw back Thursday, when I was using this blog as an incentive to lose weight by posting my scales’ number on the first of every month. 

I’m glad to say I have lost 13 pounds since then, but we don’t really need to know what that very old number was. I also weigh now about the same as Howard and I were married, but nothing seems to be in the same place as it was back then. Weird fact of life. 

Thanks to my faithful readers, my visitor count has gone up by 5828 (although a few hundred may be mine).

Anywaaaaaay …. Just a warning. Don’t read the following if you’re planning on eating at Pizza Hut in the near future (or however long your memory lasts).

……..

Okay. One night before my next new (I hope) number and DH decides he wants to go to Pizza Hut for dinner. I knew if I vetoed his idea he would sulk for probably three days, and it's sort of tough to have someone not talking to you and ignoring you for three days (although there are times when I would relish it) -however - we went.

We both brought home doggie bags. His contains one-half minus one piece of a Supreme Medium, and mine contained about half of a Chicken Pomodoro. Just now checking the nutritional value for that - and the first two numbers on that particular line are 727 and 1200. Oh Goodness, I ponder - would that be fat grams and calories? Hope not. Let's have another look - Crap. I thought pasta with tomato, garlic and olive oil and grilled chicken would be a lot friendlier that this. The 727 is weight in grams. I think that's about 1 3/4 lbs. Sure hope they weighed the plate too. 1200 is  calories. And the amount of fat grams? 69. I thought I picked the least fatty one, I didn't pick an Alfredo as they described it as creamy, so of course I thought it was cream based, but I definitely shouldn't have picked the one I did. The only good thing? (besides the taste, of course, as it was positively yummy) is that it contains 60% of the day's iron requirements. As far as sodium, I'm not going near that one. Is Pizza Hut trying to kill its customers? Crap. Thank heavens I only ate half, and the half in the fridge is going somewhere, anywhere but in my belly. I still can't believe I ate almost a pound of pasta/sauce.

So here I am, loaded up on fat and calories and sodium, and tomorrow is coming very quickly. Thanks, Howard. Thanks a lot.
