Good morning, Chicklets---
Ruth, sounds like you've been having a great time spending that money! Hope you're taking "before" and "after" pics. I'd love to see them.
Clovey, what all is entailed in your countryhouse health club weekend? Is that kind of like the fancy health spas we have here like Golden Door and La Costa?
Today is my writer's group meeting. We have to buy lunch and my choices are a) hamburger and french fries, b)miniscule fried chicken salad with honey mustard dressing or c)potato soup and caesar salad. Some choices, huh? I don't know what to do. Last time I had the fried chicken salad, even though it was breaded. I figured it was the least damaging and I asked for caesar dressing instead of honey mustard. But the portion was so stingy, I wanted to eat the tablecloth, just to feel satisfied. I'm thinking of having something before I leave, just so I won't be so starved at the end of the day.
Tonight our office staff is getting together on the Big Boss's dime for a dinner party at a German restaurant. I'm not particularly crazy about German food, and I know it's heavy on starches, so that's going to be another challenge. ~~sigh~~
Had some not so good news yesterday. First, a very dear friend's FIL had emergency surgery yesterday. Don't know details and not sure how things went yet. Also another friend's dh was taken to ER and they found he has esophogeal/lung cancer and they're pretty sure it has metastasized further. The scenario is not a good one. He's quite obese and has diabetes on top of everything. So, if you would, please say a prayer/ send good thoughts for Flo and Bob.
SBD-wise, I was very proud of myself...I stayed 90% on program yesterday. I've noticed a definite change in my body shape. My butt is firmer and my "love handles" are receding, my belly overhang doesn't overhang as much as it did a few months back, my calves are smaller in circumfrence as are my arms.
Hope everyone has a great OP day!
