What are you eating/doing today? (Wednesday)

Good morning everyone.  Yesterday was very hectic.  Started off with swimming and my strategic ally showed up and along with my visitor and friend of 30 years we made some serious waves in the pool.  One of the "non wavers" brought an ally of her own (her husband) but half way through the class he told his wife to stop nagging him and he was going to exercise the way he wanted and then he joined us in making waves, absolute triumph.  Strategic ally and I purchased tickets together (60 in all) so I know that she will continue coming to swimming every Tuesday and we will dominate the warm pool.

Had a wonderful time in Toronto yesterday seeing old friends with our visitor.  Lots of laughs, lots of compliments all round, lots of pastries (none of which I had) and a promise that I would come back next month for a day of AGO, spa and dinner.

Today it's swimming, find a pumpkin, carve said pumpkin, buy treats for Halloween and then dinner with a group of friends at a tapas restaurant.

B. Chike, Chike, Chike before and after swimming

S. Maybe an egg and turkey sausage

L. Leftover Swiss Chalet chicken and a small bit of mashed potato

S. possibly another Chike (it is going to be a long day)

D.  Not sure, but if they have scallops I will have those.

S. Fit Frappe protein hot chocolate.

Have a wonderful day.

Several of the xl tops I bought 2 weeks ago are too low in the front now to wear to work - I have gone down 2 cup sizes and 2 band sizes since surgery and it really makes a difference in how clothing fits me now.  Everything falls too low in the front.  If only some of the weight would leave my belly then it would look more balanced.  On the plus side I have less back pain.  Walked at lunch today and did 35 mins on the elliptical or 330 calories worth.  Made a new dish in the crockpot last night, here is the recipe:  http://skinnyms.com/slow-cooker-lower-carb-cabbage-roll-stew /.  It is mostly cabbage and I substituted ground turkey for the beef because it was what I had available.  I'll let you know how it is in my next post.
