I just filled up the kiddy pool for my grandson. I am looking forward to laying in the sun this afternoon. Maybe I will even jump in for a quick freeze.
So the last 2 days I have had lunch dates with friends. On Tuesday we met at a pizza place and I piled all of my toppings on 3 crusts. I was hungry and I was bummed about the weight gain. For dinner I had a hot dog on 1/2 bun and spinach salad. I ate raspberries and cool whip instead of my yummy Clemmy O.
Yesterday was The Olive Garden. I had my favorite Chicken Parm lunch. The Zuppa soup and a ton of Kale in it so I feel like that helped my fiber for the day. I only had 1 breadstick and 1/2 my lunch. I ate the rest for dinner, but still did not eat all of the pasta. So I think they give you like a cup of pasta and I had about 1/4 left when I threw it away. That my friends is progress! I ate 1/2 of a Clemmy O for dessert. The scale smiled on me this morning so it didn't seem to hurt my progress.
I know the weight loss has really slowed down, but I am not giving up or going back to my old ways. I am too excited to see what the future brings.
My daughter/husband and grandson have been here for 3 days and my Sailor daughter gets home tonight. So far, so good. My grandson does keep me on my toes. He also sleeps until about 8:30 so I have quiet mornings. The house will soon be overflowing:)
My husband should find out Monday during a conference call about his job. He is so ready to be done. I just hope and pray that he can get his full mobility back. It has been 5 weeks since the HR gal said I will call you Friday and let you know. Ugh!
Blessing and happy scales to all:)
Glad to hear your weight came back off - that didn't take long. :) Great job with the no cheating! I think I've 'cheated' a little tiny bit, with a bite here or there of something I shouldn't, but I've always regretted it. Except for the wedding cake - didn't regret that! LOL. Enjoy your grandbaby and kids!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Kay! Wow you are doing so good!Even if the weight comes off slowly..it will come off...it took me 4 months to just loose 10 lbs, but it came off and it has stayed off! You have such a lovely family, thanks for sharing the pics! Wishing the best for your husbands back and job situation. Ive been there and its rough!
ReplyDeleteCongrats Kay!!! I am glad to hear that the weight from your meds is down, fiber is a wonderful thing. I hope you get the news you are looking for with your hubby's job. Have a great day :)
ReplyDeleteGood for you Kay. Congratulations. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteWow, you are really doing well! Olive Garden is one of my favorite places to eat but I've been staying away because of the pasta! I don't know if I'd have the will power to not eat part of it. I love the Zuppa soup but have been worried about the potatoes in it. I also love their salad but I think their dressing has sugar in it..., it seems to be in everything! I wish every restaurant had a low car/sugar section on its menu to make things easy for us. Congrats on losing over 20lbs!!
ReplyDeleteYup I too have stayed away from Olive Garden - but I love it. You have done so good with your eating. keep up the great work!!
