I wake up this morning after crabbing about those weight fluctuations and the scale has miraculously broken the 286 mark - after almost a month. Granted it is only 0.6# but I will take it. Yesterday I ate some steak and a few brussel sprouts. Today I spent the day in the hospital waiting room due to a family member having surgery - which went well - thank goodness - but didn't have a lot of options as to what to eat. I did plan ahead and brought coffee and some cheese which just ended up making me feel like I spent the whole day sitting around eating. I hate that feeling. Of course sitting at the hospital for 8 hours is enough to drive anyone over the edge. I will say over all, my food choices weren't bad - just way too much salt and protein. My usual issues. Very few carbs though!
I did have a couple of NSV this last week - I walked into a regular non-plus store and tried on a winter coat - not expecting it to fit and low and behold ---- IT FIT WITH ROOM TO WEAR A SWEATER! It zips up so nicely too. It's been 10 years since I've been able to do that. My daughter finally told me I wasn't allowed to wear my new coat in the house. I told her just for that I was going to turn the heat down!
We had a company meeting and I had a bunch of people comment on how much weight I've lost and how good I look. That was a very nice ego stroke.
I went shopping for 3 hours and didn't feel worn out. A 3 hr foray like that 6 months ago would have required ibuprofen (due to hip pain) and a 2 hour nap to be able to function for the rest of the day. No meds and no nap!
I'm actually getting stronger!
