151 this morning; I'm having lunch with my skinny friends today - which always leaves me binge-y -- working hard to not fall prey to that. Recognizing the problem is half the battle, right?
I've already spent time analyzing the menu; there's just nothing there that I totally want. That adds to the problem. I will be having:
Side Insalata Toscano: Field greens with grapes, applewood bacon, gorgonzola, tomatoes and honey balsamic dressing. Hold the dressing
AND
1/2 Veggie Sammy: Oven roasted portabellas, spinach, zucchini fresh mozzarella, roasted red peppers, chipotle aioli on grilled brioche bread. Hold the chipotle aioli, light on the mozzarella, and then I will proceed to dump it out of the bread onto my salad.
I have tried in the past to have them just put the roasted vegetables on my salad, but it turns into a big production. Hopefully it will just be easier this way.
Okay, I've changed my mind. I don't want the bacon, and the gorgonzola is duplicate with the mozzarella. Plus, all that salt! So... the 1/2 veggie sammy scraped off the bread, holding the aioli, with a side salad of just salad greens. Hopefully I can get them to do that for me without making it too much of a big deal.
These are my friends who are naturally thin -- college cheerleader, marathon runner, you get the picture. Have never commented on my weightloss. Not out of meanness, but I think more out of acceptance and non-issue.
Im down to 152. But I am having crazy food cravings - I think that's due to my TOM coming this weekend...
Cravings for things like doughnut grilled cheese sandwiches and other crazy 1000+ calorie foods. Since I don't have stuff like that in my house (and I hate to drive) I have been doing ok so far...I hope this passes soon.
The lunch went well, Sum. I got them to deliver the food exactly as I wanted it. So then I did as planned, scraping off the bread onto the greens, and voila!
So I exited the 150s this morning!! I have a feeling I'll be back in the 150s tomorrow morning, though... Lots to eat today, including restaurant food. But hopefully this coming week I can leave the 150s for good.
And, Sum, I have spent so much time in the 150's compared to the other decades. I know that as we go lower it slows down, but jeeeez. This is ridiculous! I lost from 205 to 153 in a little less than seven months, and have been bouncing around in the 150's for the entire last two months. I haven't even managed to see 153 in that time. Gah! Today I was back to 154.6, though. So, I am really hoping to get below my old low soon. It was actually 153.8, so technically one pound will do it. But I'd also like to see the 140's!
rubidoux 150's are just evil. I hope we can leave these soon!!!
I am re-hydrated after my stomach bug and scale is up from my previous low. It was not a real low anyways after a day of stomach misery. Plus it is ovulation time, I always gain a pound or two during that time...hoping to see a drop in 3 days.
