We're in week 5!!! I haven't missed one workout yet!!
Friday's dinner when I took Mom out was mixed. We went to an Amish style restaurant. I ordered a cup of chili, pistacio salad (which was the side item that day) & peanut butter pie. I thought the salad would be lettuce leaves with veggies & pistacios. No such luck. It was one of those green whipped things with lots of fluff, marshmellows & pineapple (and a few pistacios - but there were lots more marshmellows than pistacios.)
I ate 1/4 of the salad, a cup of chili, split the pie with Mom & even then we didn't finish it.
Saturday was really bad. I went to work. And guess who was there? Mrs. Fields. When I lived in LA I used to visit her cookie store every week. Someone brought in a huge box of her cookies. I sampled everything! I didn't realize how much I missed those cookies. Fortunately these were the small cookies. I had choc chip, macadamia nut, peanut butter & the brownies were out of this world. AAcckck!!!! With the cookies I had turkey, peas & carrots & garlic mashed potatoes.
Dinner was fajitas.
Sunday I started out with a protein shake for breakfast & snack, lunch at 1pm was corned beef & cabbage - thankfully, Mrs Fields was all gone, at 3pm I had a graham cracker.
Dh & I were supposed to go out to Chili's. I got home before he did. I was hungry so I decided to make quesadillas. He got home at 6:10pm & was upset that I had cooked but I just didn't want to wait to eat. I was starving.
I also had 3 rum and cokes.
Today I had a protein shake for breakfast.
My weight was 152.3. Today I did an upper body workout.
I have to get a handle on my food! The first 3 weeks were easy - now I'm messing up big time.
Amy, the fajitas are really easy. I marinate them in a ziplock bag with salsa & garlic. Then throw them out on the grill with a couple of green peppers which are seeded & cut in half. The peppers take almost as long to cook as the chicken does. While they're grilling, I saute onions in olive oil. I also throw tortillas in my oven at a low heat for for a couple of minutes. Next, I lay out little bowls with chopped green onions, chopped tomatoes, shredded cheese, salsa & guacamole. Then I slice the chicken & cut the peppers. Everyone grabs their own tortilla and makes up the fajitas. With the leftovers I like to make quesadillas or nachos.
Amy, if you find any good recipes in the book, let me know!
Kate, its a pain having these ss cards from infancy on. It was much easier when I was a kid - you didn't get your card until you had your first job. For me that was 16 so my parents never had to worry about keeping track of my card. I hope you find your son's card. It'll be where you least expect it!
I'm a happy camper. Now I just need to hang onto that loss until next Tuesday. 4.6 more pounds and I'll be normal and not overweight anymore according to my BMI.
Wine is better for you than margaritas, unless you use the Sugar Free margarita mix (which you can get at HiHealth). Believe me, I've done my research in this area... 
I can have it, but I will have to cut back on the sweets for the rest of the day. Take some healthy stuff with you to the party, but enjoy a little taste of whatever you want. 
I bet you can't wait to be "normal" again!
My day started well enough. I had a meeting with our accountant, a dentist appointment & lunch with my neighbor. I felt great but did NOT do my workout first thing because of my schedule. I figured I'd get it in later. After lunch out with my neighbor, I came home and started doing invoices. After 30 minutes at home I had the worst stomach ache. It lasted for about two hours, then I got chills & ached from head to toe. I went to bed and when I got up about 3 hours later I felt fine but very fatigued. I don't know if I had a virus or what. My neighbor didn't get sick - we swapped appetizers, I gave her one of my quesadillas and she gave me a crabcake but I only ate 1/2, so I don't think it could be food poisoning.
Take extra special, super-good care of you!
