We have RAIN!! The temperature has dropped, lightning, thunder, and big RAIN. I'm sure the ground needs it. I'm not sure those attending the annual concert series that is hosted here every summer will be delighted about the moisture. Maybe it will let off by this evening! I am not attending the concert .... don't even know who is playing tonight actually. Sort of out of the loop!! Tickets average about $50.00 per person ... a little rich for my blood!

Perhaps it was the rain but I slept well last night. I was so full when I got home after our potluck/staff meeting yesterday. I thought about what I ate and tried to estimate it in my food journal. I came home and exercised ... for the second time that day ... and it seemed to help me not feel so darn bloated. The food was tasty though ... I think I just ate a bit too much of it. Potlucks are like buffets ... difficult for me to stop and not want just a little more of this or that.

We might go out for Italian this weekend. There is a local Italian restaurant that is very good in our little town named Arlo's. Or we might meet some friends and go out to listen to music and dance. We haven't decided yet.

I'm okay this morning in terms of my thoughts, feelings, and attitude about me and my physical self. I remain in "my range" on the scale, I feel rested, I feel strong. There are no known temptations awaiting me on the eating forefront today ... which is good. Time for me to pack my food for the day and get ready to go!! Have a great FatSecret day ... remembering to be kind to yourself, accepting, and to have some fun today!!

Potlucks and buffets are the worst for me too. Arlo's, you mean the place by the golf course? I go there all the time. ;-)

In Sandpoint Idaho? Arlo's is downtown. The good news is that my weight did not go up after the potluck. Luck I suppose ... although I did do extra exercise to try to make up for my enjoyment!!

What part of the country are you in? Idaho? I'm in PA and all we've had up till the last several days is cool temps and RAIN! Hardly had any summer weather. :( Buffets = EVIL! I cannot restrain myself at buffets so I try to avoid them at all costs!! Went to a Chinese buffet last week (first time in a LONG time) and sort of went crazy!! LOL Boy, did I pay for it that night and the next day!! Great job again with the exercise.........keep on truckin' :-)

Northern Idaho ... about 60 miles south of the Canadian border!! We have had some good summer weather but much more rain than most summers this year too. I think many of us struggle with the concept of moderation at a buffet!!! That is exactly why I try to avoid them!!

Ooops, that was water, not a golf course. The first map I saw showed tracks and a golf course. :-)

Sounds like you had a lot of fun at your potluck. It is always nice to take the time to visit and catch up with co-workers lives. And you know how much I like the rain, so glad you got some.
