I felt GREAT all day on Monday following my gummy bear cleanse. LOL But now my friend Jaci (my photography buddy) is in town. She came this time to put her little house here on the market, so it's kind of a sad time for me, because unless I go visit her in Florida, this could very well be the last time I see her.
We met for dinner at the Golden Corral Buffet Tuesday night after I left my volunteer job. I had had nothing to eat all day, so that didn't go very well. I did, however, eat better than I've eaten there in the past.
Today was camera club, and once again I had not eaten anything all day. By the time the meeting was over, I was starving! Jaci and I again went out to eat -- this time at Olive Garden. I love their salad. Also had cheese ravioli and marinara. I'm not a big fan of Italian and don't eat a lot of pasta, but it hit the spot today. I'm not a big cheese lover either and really can't understand why people request them to put cheese on top of something that's already cheesy, but that's just me. God knows I have enough bad habits. Don't need that one too!
After lunch I took myself to Bed, Bath and Beyond, where I bought my first-ever coffee grinder and an Oxo brand tabletop spiralizer. Look forward to having zoodles with my marinara next time instead of pasta.
I'm a self-admitted small appliance and kitchen gadget freak, so I could really go crazy in BB&B if left to my own devices. But I decided just to look around and made a mental list of items I'd like to have or that would make my life easier. I will use them to reward myself for good behavior once I start losing again.
Tomorrow night is TOPS, and the way I've been eating the past two days, I seriously doubt if I'm going to be the Biggest Loser this week. In fact, I'm pretty sure I'll be showing a gain. But I won't beat myself up about it. I'm still not eating Tootsie Rolls and DEFINITELY won't be eating gummy bears of any brand or variety! (I did, BTW, read the reviews of sugar-free Haribo gummy bears on Amazon. Sure wish I'd read them before I bought those on Saturday! It reads as hysterical, but it sure isn't when you're in the midst of the hellish reaction to them!
