Hi everyone!
Dolphin, I am probably over my sodium allowance every day, too because I don't even count the sea salt and cajun seasonings that I use regularly although I try to eat more pepper than anything else. I have to hope that all the water I drink counter acts some of it and so far, I have been very lucky with my numbers at the doctor. I'm sure that day will come though when they tell me to cut back. Oh, and you asked about when I weigh: I am weighing once a month now. I quit weighing daily on the 8th of November and a few days later decided instead of weekly, I would go on and try to do monthly when I measure. The daily fluctuations and hormone cycles were affecting my moods and now I can at least check that off my list as to a cause.
That is great that your scale relationship is going swell this week! Absence is making my heart grow fonder, too.
Rennie, hope you are feeling better! I haven't felt that great with this TOM either. I'll be glad when they are gone forever! Hope your gym time was a success! I'll have to look for the Healthy Life whole wheat toast. Is that a specialty store item? I miss sandwiches. I don't mind as much when I eat hamburger because lettuce/tomato wrap does me fine, but turkey day is coming and I wanna turkey sandwich by gosh.
I was going to pick up some thins if I can't find anything better and I might even get white instead of wheat. Oh my! Luckily, it is just once a year.
Donna, Outstanding loss!!! Woohoo! Sorry to hear you weren't feeling well.
PupMom I have never considered myself a good cook because I don't use a spice rack and don't know what most of the stuff even tastes like, but I hold my own on southern and cajun dishes. I think it just takes practice on new things and luck on others. I remember once many years ago I made the most fabulous homemade macaroni and cheese for the fam. I tried several times after and was never able to make it taste as good as that first time. So weird.
I also think our moods affect how things taste at times.
I had another great day yesterday. My weekly summary: I had a couple of low calorie days that I am trying to avoid this time around, but my weekly average was 1370 calories a day so I am calling it a win for the week. With exercise and a perfect world, I should have lost at least 2 lbs but whether I did or I didn't, I had a good healthy week and I feel thinner. All my winter clothes are roomy and I am swimming in my winter "lounging" attire.
I may have to start wearing my bras on the tightest hooks so I won't feel so skinny when I am around the house.
Have a great day!
