end of week 21
Yesterday’s exercise= 0
Today’s weight= 282.6 (+2 lbs)
This weeks’ loss = 2 lbs!
That’s funny I gained exactly 2 lbs after last nights’ buffet experience, but still I’ve lost exactly 2 lbs for the week. I’m so excited. It’s been awhile since the ‘official’ weigh-in amount was more than a point or a pound. I could look back at an old blog entry and I’d find one where I thought that my 4 lb loss was not much! tsk tsk. Silly woman.
The dining experience last night was very cool. My in laws loved it and we all racked up enough points on their players card so they could secure two more free buffets. Plus my mother-in-law got a free spin and she won a third free buffet. Nice deal.
Nearly everything was so tasty. There were so many unique and siginificantly different flavors going on. The cheeses alone I couldn’t finish because I was already full at that time and the tastes were so strong: Gouda (ech), Havarti (yum), goat cheese (mmm interesting). There was prime rib, rack of lamb, sea bass, salmon, jumbo shrimp, Alaskan King crabs (split, but cold), asparagus, a ton of salads like you’ve never seen at a buffet, 4-5 kinds of soup (broc cheese and clam chowder were very well done)… the creme brulee and cheesecake were terrific. Good thing I stopped myself from having the second brulee and the cheesecake portions were taste-size not slice-size. I could go on but you’re already hungry. Sorry… But if you’re coming to Vegas, I’d recommend it. It was well worth the $40, and in my case 2 lbs.
I lost 3 of my 4 lists that I made up relating to my upcoming vacation. That’s annoying but can be redone. I got my bathing suit today… ridiculous in price and size…. The hotel and car rental have been secured, clothes and car seats bought, lots of things getting done, so I don’t feel too panicky anymore, just slightly anxious and growing excited.
Have a great week, one day at a time.

My free healthy eats magazine came today. Thank you!
The buffet sounds lovely. I eat at them often because I like having control over my choices and portions. Yours sounds much nicer and more decadent than any around here. I love Vegas buffets nearly as much as I love video p0ker! Can’t wait for my October trip. Imma eat and shop and eat and shop.
You’re under control, your trip will be a blast - lists or not.

PS - No need to worry about my becoming underweight or taking the midwife’s advice to heart. I’ve been purchasing tons of great clothing as my finishing wardrobe and want to maintain my approximate size. I’ve been working hard for this and have too many great jeans now! She won’t ruin anything for me.

Thank you everyone. I try not to go into too much detail about food especially if not healthy or beneficial because I do not want to tempt anyone, this was a unique circumstance. I appreciate your great comments and hope I haven’t caused you any troubles.
sterling- I got my freebie mag too and wondered if the others had received theirs. It was great to share it with you all. I hope you make it to this buffet when you visit. I don’t think you will be sorry. Just think of all the great new clothes you’ll be able to buy while shopping! Thanks for the reply about the midwife situation, it’s good to know.
