Because the Golden Coral charges $9.95 for a tiny beverage and mediocre food, I feel like I need to load up and make up the difference with quantity. If I were rich, this wouldn't be an issue, but I'm pretty sure I have some "Mediterranean" heritage that causes me to want to get more than what I pay for. I knew this was a trap to thrifty dieters, but I wanted to oblige my good friend Doobie--he let me pick the restaurant--b/c I knew it was his favorite eatin' stop. So buffets are probably not the best option for thrifty folks lookin' to cut a few calories.I ate breakfast at a ministerial meeting this morning so I was forced eat some grits and toast with my eggs. Again, I'm rather frugal, and grits and toast are like 20 cents more than the eggs by themselves, so I couldn't pass them up. I also was trying to keep from being perceived as a liberal dilettante among my manly woodsmen peers, so I refrained from ordering fruit in place of the grits. I didn't budge on the wheat toast though.
For dinner I had a bowl of cole slaw, as I was still quite full from my "value" meal at GC.
After a long day I burnt 150 calories on the bike and played some wii.
Tammy and I enjoy a cup of hot tea in the evening. It really helps fight off the perceived need snack at night, as a way to calm the insanity that takes place in the course of a day. Tammy heard an expert today who confirmed what she read on a blog the other day--green tea is proven to boost metabolism. So we downed a cup of that TAZO's lotus flower decaffeinated green tea before bed.
