Trying New Foods

I had a nice relaxing weekend.  My daughter treated me to a manicure and pedicure at the beautiful day spa where she works. Later that afternoon she came over and we had a nice visit. Yesterday I didn't do much at all. I did do a little exercise (arms and squats) and my eating was on point all weekend.  I thought for sure I was going to see a drop on the scale this morning but it was actually up 1.4! WTH??? When I saw that I could have screamed because there is no logical reason for the scale to be up that much. There is no way that I ate that many calories - I could see a small fluctuation, but 1.4? IDK wth is going on.  I just gotta keep at it and hope for a big drop tomorrow.  I'm just going by the way my clothes and shoes fit. Yes shoes - my feet are shrinking too! :D

NSV:  My DD told me that after I left the spa that a woman that she works with asked her how much weight I lost and that I really look good. Yay!

 

 

Little by little I'm changing my food over to more healthy options.  I bought coconut oil to try.  I'm not at all familiar with it but have heard that it's supposed to be more healthy. EVOO is still my go-to, but I was curious about coconut oil and since I've been hearing a lot about it, I decided to give it a try. What's surprising is that it is in solid form and doesn't smell like coconut at all - it doesn't smell like anything, and the texture is not as smooth.  I used it to sautee green peppers and I like it. This 16 oz. jar cost $3.99, not bad at all.  Anyone else have any advice/thoughts on coconut oil?

 

I've also subscribed to Mark's Daily Apple and now have a ton of reading to catch up on about primal eating.  I've been reading it here and there for a while but I thought it was time to subscribe.

 

I can't believe that Thursday is August already! This year is flying by.

 

That's it for now.  Make it a great day!
