Mom came up for dinner last night. It was good to have her. I made a modified version of Athenian chicken breasts and a very light lemon torte. Mom loved the torte. I thought it was ok. I'm still frustrated, but am taking Dave's advice and not getting on the scale until Friday. Instead, I'm going to continue on the plan while enjoying my 18 pound lighter body. I'm also wondering about digestion. I'm feeling that things just aren't moving through--shall we say, as well as they used to. I wonder if oil is the problem? WW says you're supposed to have 2 tsp of healthy oil every day. I've always ignored that--figuring that even on ww I get plenty of fat because I'm fond of butter and cheese. Plus, you don't just get those 2 tsp for free. You have to count the points for them, but maybe having them will help things slide along. I'm going to compromise on the points. I'll use one of them and count it and the other will come from activity points (I never use the activity points). This might just be wishful thinking--adding oil is easy, reducing portion sizes even more is hard and I don't want to do it.
Challenge for the day is a luncheon that I forgot about. I'm the advisor for one of the student senators and this is the introductory lunch. I'll do my best. Otherwise the day is on track. Breakfast felt abundant--a big bowl of bran cereal, bacon and and a pumpkin muffin. Dinner is a mystery chili from the freezer (I only make healthy chili so it's fine) and mini corn muffins I made last night 2 pts. each.
I walked to work today--weather will be perfect all week long, and will lift weights after work. My legs are TIRED from Saturday's walk!! I didn't think the walk would affect like it did. I just walked! I walk almost everyday! I'm glad I did it though--it'll make me take the build up to the half marathon a lot more seriously.
