Another Sunday in Lansing this week the second of
the three I will be filling in for Randy Barton. This Sunday was especially nice as a number
of my former students, and some parents of my former students showed up to hear
me preach and visit afterwards. Although
this has little to do with weight loss, let me encourage you it is always nice
to do something for someone else. This
simple act really lifted my spirits and made me feel good all the day long.
Perhaps it was the positive feelings flowing through
me that led me not to me angry when we pulled into Fire Mountain once
again. Fire Mountain was of course the
site of last week’s large buffet failure.
But my wife, in an attempt to lower my children’s displeasure (they hate
all the others favorite restaurants, except for fast food, which I hate) told
them we would go there and by the time I got in the car it was set. And I would never want to make my wife a liar
in their eyes.
Now I know one can eat well at Fire Mountain, I have
eaten here with Randy Barton which says it all.
But I have never done well here.
I tried today though. And
although I doubt it would have been up to Randy Barton’s standards, I was At
least happier. Here is a side by side of
my Fire Mountain experience for you to decide:
Fire
Mountain Week 2 Fire
Mountain Week 1
Plate
1: Plate
1:
Salad: Mixed
Greens, Spinach, Steak,
popcorn shrimp, coconut shrimp,
Eggs, mushrooms, Blue Cheese Large Dinner Roll with Honey Butter
Plate
2: Plate
2:
Beef Stir Fry 2
pulled Pork Soft Taco’s; Nacho’s
Desert: Desert:
Small bread pudding 2
slices bread pudding
Small Ice Cream Medium
Ice Cream covered in Carmel
So although you can see I did not do perfect, and my
good friend Randy at Extreme Faith and Fitness may be shaking his head in
disgust, this may be an all time high as far as buffet eating goes. And at least I can go to bed happy about
that.
On another positive note, I picked up the 15 pound
weights from Randy tonight and look forward to working out with them
tomorrow. Although on the Negative side
of things I will be starting a week of filling in at WPCJ’s morning show. Those who know me know I hosted a morning
show for years. But I am not a fan of
mornings. This summer I have seldom
gotten to bed before 3:00 and seldom awoke before 10:00. This will be a smack in the face week for me,
but hopefully I will be ready for school to start, as I would like to work out
before school. I’ll let you know how it
goes. Till Then…
