Today was an exciting day on the wardrobe front! Because of the number of mosquito and noseeum bites on my legs, I decided to wear long pants for a few days. I carefully ironed my favourite black dress pants and put them on. They nearly fell off! How exciting -- I think I may have dropped that dress size that I wasn't sure about! What is a girl to do with a wardrobe malfunction like this? Safety pin in the waistband!!!
Looks like that shopping trip may have to happen sooner than later!
A long while back, in Cycle 1, I was looking at a local shop and found a lovely pair of pants on a clearance rack -- exactly one size smaller than what I was wearing. Sure hope they're still there...
Today's menu:
Breakfast -- 2 scrambled eggs, 1/2 grapefruit, vanilla green tea, probiotic supplement
Morning Snack -- my favourite 6 oz vanilla yogurt with red grapes, coffee
Lunch -- salmon sandwich (pink salmon mixed with onion and mayo), grape tomatoes, cucumber slices
Afternoon Snack -- no time for one, but should have planned for it...
Dinner -- vegetable based pasta with meat sauce (ground beef, Newman's Own Marinara, mushrooms) -- I overate because I was so hungry -- way to disregard the Hunger/Fullness Meter, dummy...
I made sure that I had my water requirements in for today -- that was a job! Hard habit to get back into after being away for a week (I found it really difficult to get all the water in while we were on vacation), but I think I'm back on track.
Here's a way to make water more interesting. Nestea has a product sweetened with Splenda that you can add to a 500 mL bottle of water to flavour it -- only 5 calories per bottle. I tried the cranberry/grape (extremely yummy) and the lemon green tea (pretty good) while we were away and have the apple/goji flavour to try yet (it is "rich in naturally occurring polyphenol antioxidants" -- whatever that means...). If you're not a big fan of plain water, this could be a good thing...
Another glass of red wine before bed. We bought a 4L box (yeah, classy, I know...) for camping and now that it's open, I can't let it go bad...one glass a night until it's gone...besides, there's scientific proof showing that it's good for you in moderation, remember?! Maybe it will offset my pasta oops from tonight...
