My Thoughts:

Busy day with classes and then coming home to clean up, follow up, and try to get everyone on course for the afternoon.  I had a rough night with the baby last night, so I feel like I'm moving in slow motion today.

Eating was good.  Dinner was tricky because I wasn't really sure how I could pack our meal. We ended up eating at home before we left and bringing popcorn along to share while we played cards with one of our girlies during the boys karate workout.  That was fun.

Coconut oil isn't a whole food, so it's not something that fits the Eat to Live menu.  However, I do use it for the children in small amounts and felt it was an fair choice for myself tonight given I hadn't had any fats at all today aside from my ground flax in my salad at breakfast.  I also grabbed the pumpkin seeds to munch on as well since I've been trying to eat more of those.  I got full on the popcorn pretty fast, so I didn't eat as large of a portion as I expected. 

The scale was nicely down again this morning.  Of course, I'm a little anxious about what I'll see tomorrow since my pattern is to be UP on my official weigh-in day.  Still, my jeans are feeling looser every day and...wait for it...I'm now able to wear button up shirts!! No more button popping for me! I'm so excited to be growing smaller in my chest. That's always been a big encouragement to me.
