HAPPY FRIDAY!
This morning I'm down .2 (236.2) I've lost a total of 8.6 pounds in May and I'm thrilled with that! I haven't done that well in a long time - maybe ever!
I was so glad about the loss this morning - I thought I might have a little sodium gain. My boss gave me a gift certificate to an upscale Italian restaurant and I decided to use it last night. I scoured the menu online and chose the best that I could: stuffed mushrooms and a salad with mixed greens, apple, almonds, gorgonzola and raspberry vinaigrette. The dressing was delicious but very sweet. I thought I might have sodium gain from the mushrooms, which were a little salty, not to mention the cheese on top. I was pleasantly surprised that the scale dropped this morning.
Another NSV - This morning on my way to work I decided to get coffee at this convenience store by my house that has really good coffee. Usually I would be tempted by the fresh donuts in the case but today I grabbed a piece of cheese from the refrigerated section and had that and a banana for my breakfast, not even tempted by the donuts at all. I felt great and in control.
I'm off work at noon today and I have a repairman coming to my house to take a look at my washer that is leaking a little. I hope he can fix it for a reasonable amount. This is one thing that I miss about having a man who could repair this stuff for me. Oh well, I'm independent and I'm taking care of business on my own. Another great feeling.
Not much planned for this weekend, just grocery shopping and I may treat myself to a new shirt if I can find a good deal. Have a great weekend everyone and lets have a good report Monday.
OMG, I have to steal (or create my own) Ann Wigmore pic! And congrats! Way to conquer both the Italian restaurant, and the convenience store breakfast dilemmas! And cheers to having such an amazing month of May! I know you will rock June as well! :D
ReplyDeletecongratulations on your May 8.6. So happy for you.
ReplyDeleteI think once your body gets in balance then a little bit of extra sodium here and there is usually taken care of. (Caveat here if you're on HBP medication ... it messes with your body's ability to handle sodium naturally.) Anyway so glad you had a loss.
I've got a man around the house and I'd still call the repairman for washer problems. :)
