HI Everyone!
CONGRATS Linda on the fabulous weight loss, I'm sure that you'll continue going down and down and down....
Jina - your winter temp sounds like the kind I prefer (got some winter vacation brochures to dream over when the snow hits)...and you're right to watch out for those nasty sugar alcohols - I've had a few run ins with those myself....very nasty stuff!
I am feeling a bit bummed out today - I think it is deep PMS...TOM is hovering..... and of course extremely exhausted due to late night out - don't kiddies know they're supposed to sleep in on Sunday mornings after their parents have been out and not burst into their room at 7 am???
We had dinner at a fish restaurant - had to wait for table and we were freezing so headed upstairs to the bar and found a SOFA NEXT TO THE FIREPLACE - it was heaven and warm...and yes I splurged with a Cosmopoitan martini - yes I know it has carbs (a splash of triple sec and ounce of cranberry juice), but was definitely worth it - of course drinking on an empty stomach is never recommended, especially when low carbing, so both dh and I (he had a glass of white wine) who are normally not big drinkers anyways were really feeling it by the time our table was ready.
Food was a bit disappointing (now I remember why we don't go there more often). My smoked salmon appetizer was pretty good, but main dish swordfish was nothing to write home about - oh yes I also had two pieces of melba toast (must look up the carbs for that!).
Then went to a club close by to see this band I had heard about - pretty good - blues/rock with some aretha franklin and marvin gaye thrown in - loved the brass section and the fact that everyone there was the same age as we were! Had a diet pepsi while there - decided no more alcohol for us (such cheap drunks!
)
Didn't get to bed til 2 am - and paying for it today.
Feeling crappy anyways due to sinus issue (am I catching dh's cold?)...and bloated feeling.
Trying to drink lots of water today - not sure if I should weigh in tomorrow due to TOM, but I will be strong!
Lekker - what city are you in? Sounds like Montreal (my hometown) or Quebec City (if so I'm jealous!).
Star - Sounds like you also had a great night out! Love the fantasy shopping idea - will have to try it out!
As for my shopping trip - returning many of the items and dd did NOT LIKE THE PINK SWEATER SET - her exact comment was "it looks like something you would wear"...am I that obvious?
So do I keep it in the back of the closet - assuming I will one day fit into it? Or bring it back ($70 total cost) ? It seems funny to buy something I won't be wearing for maybe another 6 months or so - and what if in the end it doesn't even look good on me? ...and yes I hate the look of my BIG SPARE TIRE!
Doing laundry and looking forward to my days off - have to get some errands done tomorrow and go get my velvet pants hemmed before weekend - would love a pair of fancy shoes to wear - but I also have fat, wide ugly feet and I can barely manage high heels on a good day!
Froufy
