13000 Calories Later ...

This morning Steve played golf while I sat around in the quiet and looked up stuff on the computer - a perfect morning for both of us. It's rather chilly down here in sunny Jacksonville, Florida, but not so chilly as in other places, so I'll just be quiet about that.

Steve returned around noon and we took off to eat lunch at Metro Diner, a place we like (that we've eaten at once because it was on "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives"). I had the shrimp and grits which was basically some cooked shrimp and andouille sausage slathered in basically high-calorie sauce/gravy and poured over grit cakes. It was delicious and probably used up all my Weight Watcher points through the end of February. Steve had meatloaf with all the fixins', which didn't faze him since he doesn't have to worry with points. Nevertheless, we were both filled to the brim upon finishing.

Once we felt like we could move again, we headed to the race expo - did I mention we were down here for the 26.2 With Donna Breast Cancer Marathon Weekend? We perused the expo and got our race bibs and shirts. After a fruitless trip to the outlet mall, we headed back to the hotel, where we both had a delightful full-calorie huge-meal nap. Once up from that (Steve thought it was the next day and he was supposed to go play golf again), we headed to dinner (because we hadn't consumed enough calories) at Barbara Jeans's (a restaurant not a person's house) where I consumed all of March's points on a vegetable plate (all of which were in some sort of sauce, thus making what would seem a good choice into a bad choice). We finished off the evening with a visit to Steve's sister Kitty who was at work at her Stein Mart store. And Steve managed to find some pants to purchase - amazing.

Anyhow, that pretty much sums up our Friday the 13th here in Jacksonville, Florida. I managed to get through the day without a catastrophe, unless you count the food I ate. Which was super-delicious but not WW friendly. And yes, I didn't have to eat it. And yes, I could have only eaten a little of it. And yes, I could have made smarter choices. But I didn't. So there. Happy Friday 13th to you too!!
