The scale was down in a big way this morning!! I have 3 more pounds to go before I reach the next decade. And, only 7 more pounds to go before I am out of The Land of Obese!!!
Whoever thought it would be so exciting to be Overweight. ;)
So, our experiment this week proved successful. Each week David and I go out for date. We typically scrounge around to find a place to eat out that fits our Eat To Live choices. Often, we find something that works, but still has something that isn't ideal. The biggest offenders would be the salt, oil, and white carbs.
This week we decided to skip the meal out and just grab some kind of quick leftovers before we went dancing. (YES! We are taking square dancing lessons!! How nerdy is that?! Super, silly fun!) So, after skipping the restaurant food, I stepped on the scale this morning and saw almost a full pound gone! Clearly, those *cheat* nights with fried mushrooms or salty chips do make a difference.
I don't mind giving them up to see that scale move. I just wish there was SOMEWHERE to go for a nice, relaxing meal together that didn't harm the body. I sure do like having someone else prepare a meal and deal with the messy kitchen once in a while.
Today is a crazily busy day. We have a mad rush to prep food and house before I head out for lessons and shopping with the children. I am going to a different grocery store today, hoping to find some new food items. Especially looking for some variations of the Ezekiel Bread I've been getting for the children. Also planning to stop at an apple orchard for a big bag of drops. I'm not sure when I'll have time to process them, but I can't pass up the price!
