Sunday

It's Sunday. Today the scales say 218.5lbs

Yesterday I discovered how difficult it can be to get a salad. We went to a restaurant Philthy McNasty's (a chain restaurant) for lunch yesterday. I asked the waitress if I could have a salad with a chicken breast on top with low calorie dressing on the side that was "lunch size" not a side salad. They had a lunch size chicken Caesar - but the Caesar dressing was high calorie. They had a small house salad, but it was a side salad. The girl didn't know what to do. It seemed like a simple request, but because I was asking for a moderated menu option, she was unable to comprehend how to do this.

In the end she brought me a large house salad and charged me for two side salads plus chicken. An iceberg lettuce house salad at that - nothing to write home about.

In the end I concluded that I won't go back there for lunch. So far, the food court and fast food restaurants like Wendy's have had the best salad choices for going out to lunch. I hate to support the fast food industry, but I can see they are responding to the message about how unhealthy their food is with better choices. Regular restaurants such as Philthy McNasty's, Pubs, Kelsey's etc... Are having a more difficult time creating that healthy choice with GOOD ingredients (not just iceberg lettuce with unripened tomatoes and a slice of cucumber that is ready to be thrown out shortly).

Namaste
