Day 51
My friend, Scale, told me something wonderful this morning! 129 lbs! That means I am down 18 lbs in total! Only two more to go...I think I'm going to make it...
Some of those clothes that have been fitting well for the first time in years are now on the big side. The closet clean out continues this weekend -- I'm not sure there's going to be much left in there by the time I'm finished. Oh, well -- that means more room for my crafting supplies, I guess...lol!
Day 52
Tonight was girls' night in! How I've been looking forward to an evening with my besties! So much fun, conversation, laughter and so much wonderful food! Of course, I sampled everything (it would be horribly rude not to, dontcha think?), but only one serving of each (well, except for the spicy meatballs...those were just too amazing to limit myself to one helping...) -- my plate was full, but only the once, and I didn't feel the need to have seconds of anything. In fact, I didn't want seconds, except for those little meatballs...
I may have had more wine than I should have. OK, I know I had more than 5 oz of wine. It was closer to 3/4 of a bottle. That means extra water tomorrow...
It was a super-fun evening and I didn't feel bad about having anything that was on the table -- pasta salad, potato salad, pulled pork sandwich, spicy meatballs, chicken/broccoli/cheese casserole, chocolate puffed wheat squares (you know there had to be chocolate involved at some point -- it was ladies' night after all...) -- it was my reward for sticking to the project. And I discovered a wonderful new salad in the process -- quinoa salad -- who knew that could be so tasty? I'm going to have to try quinoa as a side dish one day...
Day 53
Feeling no ill effects for my over-indulgences of yesterday. This is good -- very good!
I did sleep in this morning as I was up later than usual last night, so I made do with just breakfast (vanilla yogurt/blueberries/granola mixture -- yummmmmm) -- no morning snack. Indulged in a little bit of potato salad for lunch -- leftover from the party, but still very tasty. I figured I could have a small serving and it would count for the rest of my starch for the day. A few raw veggies on the side -- nice cool lunch on a hot, busy day...
The family is away for the week, so there's lots going on here with organization projects. This is going to keep me busy for days...
