Hey Y'all, and a big to Debra.
I went to the COD last night and found that I was up 2 lbs from Saturday morning. I am sure it was the time of day, breakfast/no breakfast variance, but it still was not very pleasant to see the higher number on the scale. Ah well, it was motivation for me to finish out yesterday in fashion. So for that I am grateful.
For DSs birthday on Wednesday night we did go to Steak N Shake. I had gone out to their website beforehand and decided that I would order the Chicken Noodle Soup and Chicken Taco Salad, minus cheese and eat only half the shell. Well, I DID IT and I had a glass of water while the 2 DSs devoured their shakes. I didn't have any BLTs (love that phrase) either! Even though I'm apparently up, YAY ME. Maybe it was the sodium - there was quite a bit in that stuff...
Kristi - Glad to hear you're still shrinking!
Sherry - I'm sorry I can't help with the calories.
Pearl - 3 weeks POP is quite an accomplishment!
Rebeca - You look great!
Cassi - WTG on losing! Great advice about knowing the difference between times when indulgence is okay. Throughout life we will have to pick our battles, and at some point we have to learn how. For those of us with a lot to lose, maintenance is a lonnng way off. I don't know, that's just a huge gray area I guess, because as I type this my brain is telling me "Yeah Carm, maintenance is such a long way off for you because you keep finding excuses to indulge." Big old catch 22. Someone on another thread put it perfectly: "Don't wail on the scale if you cheat when you eat." Brilliant I tell you!
Joni - Too funny about ther request for your money back!
Evette - Don't sweat the 2 lbs. It will come off in no time.
Deb - Congrats on the loss!
JulieM - I know what you mean about fitting in the seats at the amusement park. Remember my horror story about Cedar Point last year? What an accomplishment!!!
Katie - We're missing you chick, and I know the folks at your new job are loving you already!
Lea Ann - I really admire your resolve and determination.
Christine - for no booze at school! I totally understand about the diet soda with rum. I feel the SAME EXACT WAY. Weird, hunh?
Beanie and HeatherPP, and All of us chickies - Here's to us !
