Good news from the scale, especially after a healthy but large dinner last night.
Today is Mother's Day. I'm also going to face the biggest challenge since I started: The Vegas Buffet. My lack of foresight has me waiting in line for 40 minutes to eat brunch, but I'm here. There is a massive variety of food. What am I going to do? Sunday brunch at the buffet in the Sunset Station Casino includes complimentary champagne or mimosas. So the first decision is do I drink free alcohol? Alas, the answer was no. Instead I ordered a cranberry juice and a water. What about all the food. There's an Italian section full of pasta and pizza. The Asian section has fried and steamed rice. The International (South of the Border) section has empenadas, tortillas, taco shells, churros and plantains. Of course there is also my arch nemesis the dessert section. Temptation is near and far.
Well, my strategy was to fill up on meat and vegetable dishes, avoiding the pasta, noodles, mashed potatoes, bread, pizza, stuffing and rice. For dessert I stuck to the NSA (no sugar added, not no strings attached) desserts, yes plural. The NSA caramel ice cream was the biggest standout. I had a spoonful or two of non-NSA "peach cobbler" and bread pudding. Neither was very good coincidentally. Overall, quite a bit of food for one meal (2 meals really, it was brunch). For me at a buffet it was impressively healthy and half of the usual amount of food I eat at a buffet. I normally shun the veggie dishes, so that they don't take up too much tummy real estate that I could fill with other foods. I had a total of two plates of meat and veg (with plenty of space left on the plate), plus one for desserts of mostly NSA items. I didn't get too far out of pocket at the buffet. We'll see the affect on the scale tomorrow.
So full from brunch, wasn't really hungry the rest of the day. Grabbed a couple of pieces of fruit for dessert. My wife also decided to share here chocolate covered strawberries with me. I had one, plus a couple of pecans.
Brunch:
buffet: including prime rib, turkey, sweet potato, chicken, salmon, meatball (just one), fruit and probably something else I've forgotten. Dessert included a scoop of NSA -vanilla and caramel ice cream, a 2 square inches of NSA carrot cake, and a couple of spoonfuls of NSA coconut cream pie, non NSA "peach cobbler" and bread pudding.
Dinner/Dessert:
1 banana
1 orange
1 chocolate covered strawberry
1/8 cup pecans
16 oz water
we'll see what the scale says tomorrow ...
