Woooo Hoooo! 9 pounds down, and didn't even know my water broke! :D I know I always have a dramatic weight drop when I start back up, but can't remember ever having one like this. Got off the scale, let it zero out and got back on: Yep, 245 lbs. A couple weeks before I started back up on my diet and exercise regime, I was 248, and over the next couple weeks I spiked up to 254, looking like a potato with feet, and reaching that momentous point of disgust with my eating habits, and bringing me back to reality. So, I look at this realistically as a 3 lb. drop from the 248 I was, and seeing this as a good starting point. I maintained at 239.0 for years, so once I get back to there, any weight loss will feel like more of an accomplishment. However, that being said, I am doing the HAPPY DANCE!
DW and I are going out to the Flatop Grill tonight, hoping it won't be packed because of Valentines Day. I don't know if this is a franchise or not, but it's a place where you go along a single buffet line of eats and fill your bowl with noodles or rice, veggies, and chopped up chicken, pork, or beef, or a combination thereof, add your choice(s) of sauces, and then the chef stir fries it all, and the waitress brings it to your table. It's one of our favorite places. I'll be providing the entertainment - looking like Rocky Balboa, talking like Elmer Fudd and eating with chopsticks. LOL! Actually, I do pretty good with chopsticks, and I wish I looked like Rocky Balboa.
Since it's a little under an hour back home from work, and a little less than an hour back to the big city where the restaurant is, and same to back home, DW is just going to meet me there, since it's about the same distance to the restaurant for both of us, and then I'll just follow her home when we leave the big city. I'll give her the necklace at the restaurant. I'm sure she'll like it, she doesn't get all that excited and surprised when she gets gifts anymore; guess she's gotten too many of them over the years. I ought to go without giving her any for a year. Nope, don't think that would work. I wouldn't feel safe going to sleep after the first missed holiday. So, I guess giving her a gift is like giving me a gift - safety.
Anyway, life is good, with some pain, grief, and tribulations thrown in to build character. Hope everyone has a great Valentines Day. And, if you're feeling down because you're not sharing this day with anyone this year, just remember that there are just hords of people out here on FS that will empathise, sympathise, encourage and entertain you. Toodles!
