Good Monday Morning
Hope you all had a nice weekend.
Went to bed hoping I'd be nicely rested and having the desire to go out and walk. I got up, a bit earlier than expected due to that darn phone ringing, got dressed and hoped I'd have the drive to go. I didn't, but I kept hoping and wishing and as I sit here, still dressed to go out and walk, my body just feels drained and I just don't feel like going. What can I say
Hey, at least I got dressed to go, that's a start.
I shouldn't be so tired but I think TOM is due this week (lost track) and I think maybe that's why I'm so tired.
Also, with TOM coming I think that's why the scale is up 2lbs for me today. That and eating a lot of ELI'S eggplant dish he made last night, which was absolutley DELISH!!!
I have to go to the Gables, where my parents live, to do a few things today and probably will miss yoga. I have to go to my Grandfathers house and get my folding table to use this weekend for my garage sale, go to the bank with DM and try to find a place that can somehow patch my couch seat. SOMEONE must of put their feet up on my couch and snagged it with something like a belt buckle and made a hole. I love my couch, it's huge and fits perfectly where it is and I don't want to have to get rid of it. Unfortunately the way this particular cushion is made you can't flip it over
Well, I just MAY have the recipe for OLE OLE'S salad dressing in my hands. I've asked lots of questions and I think I have all ingredients and amounts and will try to get the ingredients one day soon and try to make a batch. If all works out, I'll be passing it along-it's delicious and the reason I go there, oh, the dressing AND their salsa!!
As of today, it will be 2 weeks since LAUREN started the SOBE DIET. I know she's not eating enough, or drinking enough water and she's stuck having lost 5lbs, all the first week. Starting tomorrow she'll start PHASE 2 and I'm hoping she'll find, eating the SB way easier, as well as seeing she can lose more weight if she eats right. I'm really proud of her, not so much about the weight loss, but more that she's been resilient in sticking to a diet without cheating for 2 weeks now. It was all her idea, she chose this diet, and decided the timing was right for her, and for that, I'm really proud of her efforts. The weight loss is secondary.
Okay, on to some replies...
MONET, that eggplant recipe sounds delish and you KNOW how I just love eggplant. Of course, I'll pass it to ELI and ask him to make it, you just KNOW how my cooking is!
BTW, what exactly are pimentos?
KITTY, you sound like you have a good grip on the concept of SB. The only thing I think may not be good are the crackers. I've never bought, or seen, this brand, but does it list SGWW flour as the flour used? I'm surprised there are so many crackers in a serving. When I eat my WW crackers, the serving size is 4, like the saltine size-not much. Anyhow, as you said, moderation, which is one of the main keys to being successful at this WOE
DAVE, thanks DAVE, sometimes, you just don't know
Hey, at least he wasn't naked!!!
Thanks for posting that article.
COUNTRY, thanks for the link-will check it out later. Hopefully, it won't be far more than my brain can handle
TONI, good luck today with the journaling. Looking forward to taking a look at what you're doing
AGAPE, looking forward to seeing more of you this week
MOM, not to worry, a few chips aren't going to mess you up. It could easily be for many reasons, like TOM-I'm up 2lbs today and I'm not worried at the least. I can tell you, if you can get a piece of graph paper and make a weight chart, or find one on line, you can know, over time, how your body will go up and down during certain times of the month - like TOM and mid-cycle - for me it's a given.
Well, I'm outta here. The least I could do this morning is go clean the kitchen up from the weekend mess, then enjoy something for breakfast. Will check in later, before I leave for the day.
Have a wonderful week everyone!
