There's good news and there's bad news. I'm up a pound (the bad news) but it's better than I expected, or even deserve, truth be told. Yesterday was hubhy's birthday so I made it my R&A day (rare and acceptable). We had the big tofu scramble for breakfast and I went off to work. I didn't eat lunch because that's what I have been doing the past few weeks and it makes me feel pretty comfortable. I called hubby on my way home and asked him what he wanted to do for dinner. He still hadn't decided, said he needed more time, maybe we'd just stay in for dinner(?) So I stopped at Trader Joe's to get him some moisturizing cream (a little surprise for him) since he was out. I popped in to Whole Foods to see if they had a couple of items that I needed. I found myself in front of their bakery case, surprised to see that there were still some vegan donuts left at 5 pm. The WF in my hood has a vast array of vegan donuts. I used to get one everytime I shopped there. In fact, when I started doing the Bright Line eating I had to avoid WF for over a month those donuts were a big trigger. I have gotten past that, or so I thought. There were maple glazed (my fave) and also cinnamon/brown sugar. I couldn't decide so I got both of them. I ended up eating them both in my car, while listening to Matt Donnelly talk about his 75 lb weight loss in 90 days on a podcast. I appreciate the irony. When I got home my husband wanted to go out after all. We went to the Thai place down the street. We each had one of their special cocktail martinis, shared a fresh roll and he ordered a sizzling fish entree with black bean sauce while I got the yellow curry with tofu (which I shared with him). Back home he cracked open a special bottle of wine he'd been saving, poured us each a glass and declared he wanted dessert, after all! Ah, little did he know. I whipped up a blueberry/blackberry/banana/cocoa powder/cinnamon bowl and topped it with a little coconut milk unsweetened vanilla yogurt and a chopped date. Total yummyness. Then we had a second glass of wine. I don't even feel crappy like I thought I would from overeating and I slept pretty well, except for some crazy dream with Donald Trump remodeling my house to accommodate his overnight stay. What man needs 3 bath tubs in one room? Anyway, it was my R&A day and who knows when I'll get the next one. I've learned something important from the experience: Expectation is a more powerful thing than I realized.
