I think that my busy weekend has caught up with me…I’m feeling beyond exhausted! My face was flaring up on and off all day today and I’m just tired. I had a little cat nap on the couch early this afternoon. It felt nice That’s for sure, but it didn’t help get rid of my exhaustion. I even had one of my special cookies, but that didn’t help, it just made me more tired! Oh well, I roughed it out. I went to my WW (Weight Watchers) meeting this evening. I was quite nervous actually. I followed the plan carefully, however the competition had me eating away from home so many times, at places where it’s difficult to make healthy decisions- like my McDonalds grilled chicken and bacon wrap for a whole 14 of my days 34 points!! That’s almost half in one meal!!! I had to make these decisions for three days. Then we had the day of the wedding. At Sherlock Holmes in West Ed after the wedding but before the reception. Everyone was eating appies like spting rolls and nachos etc and I ordered a house salad!! Then there was the crazy 12 course wedding meal itself! If that wasn’t difficult, it was impossible to track – like sea cucumber and eel and shark fin soup. So, as I said I went in worried about my weigh in! However I actually lost weight!! I lost 2.2 pounds!!so yay!!! I want to aim for a minimum of 8 pounds lost a month. So, I’m on my way! We talked about protein tonight. How much a healthy 180 pound person should get daily, about 76 grams or something around that. So about three healthy meat portions/day. But obviously there are other ways to get protein. There’s a waffle mix to look for at Costco. It’s supposed to be really great for baking with because of its high protein. I want to try it. We also did the regular recognition time, where we get rewarded and congratulated for the weeks successes, both on and off and off of the scale. It was a good night!! I’m off to bed. Night all! 💤😴
