We didn't end up going out with our friends. They didn't want to go out. So, instead we went to the casino. No spectacular wins but I did win a chance at the remaining February drawings. Tonight they will draw 5 names, $500 each. Tomorrow they will draw one name for a trip for 2 to Hawaii with $2500 spending cash. On the 28th they draw 15 names, $500 each and 1 name for $2500. Your name remains in the barrel, even if it is called. Wouldn't that be sweet??!! Ha!! But you never know. Way better odds than the lottery!!
Eating was reasonable. I had one of my nut packets while at the casino, cocoa roasted almonds. Yum. As we were getting ready to leave the casino at 11:30 last night Bob wanted to know if I was hungry which is code for he was hungry!! It is a small casino in a tiny town and the restaurant (one) was closed. But, the snack bar was open. We shared a grilled turkey, bacon sandwich. I watched her make it so it was fairly easy to estimate the calories. You would have been proud of me too ... it came with potato salad and I had two tiny bites and threw the rest in the trash!!
The agenda today is laundry, tidying up around the house, exercise, and being at the Casino by 7 pm just in case I win $500. We won't stay. Work tomorrow.
Oh ... good grief I almost forgot to tell you!!! I tried on my shorts. All except two pair fit just fine and those two I could only wear at my lowest weight. So I will have plenty of shorts to take to Mexico. I have no worry about tops ... and bathing suits have a bit of stretch in them so I know they will fit. So, while of course I would be delighted to weigh 180-185 by March 10th ... I have indeed let it go. Perserverating on my numbers is no good for me. I will weigh whatever I weigh when I get on the plane. I will likely weigh more when I return ... which I am also not going to fret about. The journey goes on ...
Coffee is calling me and I must respond. Also, I want to get a few things done around here today. And believe it or not, I am hungry!!! LOL!!! Enjoy your Sunday!!!

All good news! I'm especially impressed by your potato salad control :). Mmm, potato salad. I have a recipe that uses greek yogurt instead of mayo and it is quite good. I should make that. Thanks for the unintended inspiration! Happy Sunday!

Wow, that is fantastic...you did so well, and I am happy for you! As for the drawing...I have my fingers and toes crossed. Glad that the shorts fit and that you have clothes for your trip and that you have made peace with the number on the scale. You are only 7.2 pounds above the top of the range that you feel most comfortable at...that is just a little bit. You are going to have a great time in Mexico, and you are going to look awesome!

Wow Stef ... 7.2 lbs doesn't seem like all that much. LOL!!! That tells you where my head has been at for quite a while ... looking at that old glass "half empty" instead of "half full" ... geesh. Bob and I were talking on our way to the Casino last night and I was telling him I was going to stop stressing about my numbers. That as long as he wasn't embarrassed to be seen with me I was okay. His reply? I have NEVER been embarrassed to be seen with you. I have weighed, no doubt close to 300 lbs at one point. It is incredible to me that he has never been embarrassed to be seen with me. What a guy (even if he does drive me mad from time to time!!!)!

He sounds os much like my dear Dan! He can drive me nuts some times, but, oh, how I love this wonderful gift that God has given me...I am married to my very best friend, and no matter how much time I spend with him, I never get tired of him. We spend 24 hours a day together, 365 days a year, and have for the lst 27 years! Wow! And yes....the glass is half full!! You are AWESOME!!!

Umm, I think you have to give your husband a lot of credit - he has put up with your being insecure about his love for you and your fear that he would think badly about you over your appearance! Kindness over all, and remember that your being kind to yourself also is kind to others.

happy Valentine's Day Moose - I have not chatted with anyone in some time. MIA has taken it's toll. I almost didn't post my weight as it is slowly going up. I am in a serious funk with food. I don't know what has happened but all caring about eating has slipped a lot. I have to get back where I was but my self-confidence has slipped. I am home today so I am going to have a serious chat with myself. I haven't read any back journals in a while so I don't know what is going on. Have a wonderful day Moose and thank you for hanging in with me.
