Journal,
So, wanted to remember for this week report: Did well at eat out event this weekend. Amazingly, there was food that I could get that was compliant... Had fruit and was able to order the Asian Chicken salad without chicken and without dressing (so was just veggies). It was kind of funny that probably 1 of 3 people had some special instructions to their order --- was no problem, no questions, nada. (And event was at a craft brew pub...) I had 2 Jeff burgers in my purse in case I got hungry.... Ate before going here .... my "clown car" (per my husband) bag of food... It serves its purpose in a couple of ways: 1) if hungry, can eat compliant food and 2) if people are trying to get me to eat stuff / question my lack of eating, he pops in with "OMG, you should have seen what she ate in the car over here.."
Found today that I like oatmeal better without banana (as I ran out of bananas) - who knew... Also, without pre-loading --- can eat oatmeal much faster .... like it doesn't become a production.
Was blissfully off work today and have only a 3 day week coming up. Did a great hike in the AM before severe storms set in.... then got some errands done. Bought another pair of pants (I only have a few that fit)... going to order some more on-line --- there is a brand of jeans that actually sizes pants with the "real" waist measurements --- which is cool and I like their pants...
Funny - I weighed in today post-oatmeal which would never have occurred to me to do earlier. Still holding ok with maintaining... I weigh on Fridays, but try to remember to do so at least an additional day or two to make sure "on track".
Have done some "research" for the BBQ recipe. Hmm... will try something simple this week. I think this was my easiest / most fun "goal" -- so will make progress here first!
Super proud of my son - he was nominated by his major department for a merit scholarship for his last year...
Here are a couple of pics. I continue with some technical challenges... but that is ok. I do find the pictures way too amusing...
Hope that everyone has a great week.
Best,
Stephanie
