223# this morning! Wow! It's really happening! :) That makes 9 pounds total leaving me with just 48# more to lose! That doesn't depress me; it's actually encouraging! When I remember that I began 2fatchicks with 100 pounds to lose, starting this time with fewer pounds is not so bad!
Well, it's Saturday morning, I got up at 7am so I can get to an 8:15am water class in Essex! I can't wait! One of the coolest things about working out in the water, is I don't come out feeling all hot n' sweaty and gross! I'm actually cool and refreshed! Now how can you beat that?? I have to admit that yesterdays instructor, yet another new one to me, had us doing alot of repeat stuff, over and over and over, BORING!!! But it was a good workout, my muscles burned, I was panting and sweating too! I wonder who'll do todays class?
Last evening Becca & I had a "date"~ we went out to eat at Longhorn, sharing an onion-ring sort of appetizer, then I had herb-garlic encrusted steak w/ a fontina cheese sauce over it, fresh broccoli, and a caesar salad. Warm honey-wheat bread came out first. It was delicious! I ate probably more onion rings than was neccesary, a slice of the bread, but could only finish half my meal, so brought it home. Oh. I forgot that before I left the house, I baked 3 boneless chicken breasts that needed to be cooked, and ate one, thinking "This will help me not be so hungry at the restaurant." It worked. I was fine with everything I ate, enjoying Becca's company and the fun atmosphere of Longhorn. Left satisfyingly full!
We then went to see "Wall Street; Money Never Sleeps". That was pretty good although much of the financial stuff was over our heads! Didn't need candy or popcorn cuz' I was comfortably full from dinner! Came home afterwards, and Erin was here to watch a movie with us, so it was a nice, relaxed evening with most of my girls! Finished the night with more of my book (this one called "Angry Fat Girls" etc. written by Frances Kuffel who ended up gaining back 100 of the 188 pounds she'd lost a few years previously. Wow. Bummer! But it happens more often than not. I can relate.
12:29pm
I'm back! Left the house at 7:45am for a water class which was GREAT!! That's all I'll say about it; I know my raving is getting old! :D Ran some errands, had a nice long chat w/ my Mom on the phone, and now I'm home briefly before bringing Becca downtown to meet friends. Gotta hurry back & clean the house a little. Erin & Chris are coming over for dinner: I'm making BBQ'd ribs and chicken w/ homemade BBQ sauce, corn on the cob, broccoli/cauliflower and probably apple crisp w/ vanilla ice cream for dessert. Are you wondering how I'll "resist" all that yummy, high calorie stuff? Well, here's my plan: I'll drink a big glass of water and munch on veggies and hummus while I'm preparing. I'll eat off a smaller plate, and then serve myself a small portion of dessert. We're eating at 5:30ish so it won't be too late in the day. I'll make just enough dessert that we eat it all in one sitting so I'm not tempted by it later on! Sound good?
