WEIGH IN 10-07-19

162/172/135

On the downside, the number in the middle isn't lower today.

On the upside, the number is down 3 pounds from Saturday.

Let's back-track to Thursday when Bob and I did our weigh-in. His number hadn't changed from when he left and mine had gone up. That means the pot next time home will be worth $200. After what I spent this morning on Stampin' Up! product, I could sure use that cash. 

Friday night, Bob and I went to dinner at a new Chinese buffet in Poplar Bluff - Chin's.. I'd been a couple of times but they opened after Bob left out so he'd not had the opportunity. Yesterday morning when I weighed... which is when I usually weigh for this blog post... I was 175! 

So I'm okay with the 172 this morning. Next week may or may not be better. I will be at a the Ozark Creative Writers conference from Thursday through Sunday. Normaly, I get a lot of walking in. From the room down to the convention center and back multiple times a day and I try to get in an early morning or late evening walk up to the historic Crescent Hotel at least once while I'm there. This year they are forcasting rain, possibly even with severe weather for Thursday through early morning on Saturday which means more driving than walking. Grrr... I so look forward to my trips to Eureka Springs but more so when I can do a lot of walking through the historic neighborhoods.

As a result of my upcoming travel, there may not be a weigh in next week. If I get home Sunday night I can step on the scales Monday morning and get this post up before Bob is awake. We'll see how the travel plans go.

Enjoy the Journey!

MONDAY MUSINGS - Check In

I'm off to a decent start for the week. Considering I will not be at home for the next 8 days. I tried to pack appropriately i.e. making sure to have a couple flavors of my protein shake and the fresh fruit I knew Bob wouldn't eat while I was gone. I'm starting the week of at 183. Would really like to drop at least 1 pound... happier with 2 while I'm traveling.

I did eat out at my favorite Chinese buffet last night. I haven't been in there in almost 4 years and the hostess still knew me when I walked in the door. I didn't over-eat. They have one thing on their buffet none of the MO restaurants carry... Peanut Butter chicken. Yum! I did go back for seconds on that treat.

I also drank part of a Mello Yellow last night so the psoriasis is acting up this morning. I'll limit that the rest of the week to just when I take my vitamins. With the amount of vitamins I take each morning, soda seems to be the only thing that doesn't make them want to come back up before I've even started.

I'll need to go grocery shopping before I do too much more today and I know we'll eat out tonight. I'm hoping for Golden Corral or HomeTown buffet. Massive amount of protein options without killing the travel budget.

So here's to a week on the road...
Enjoy the Journey
