Morning everyone and it is going to be a glorious day! 

Yesterday forgot my lunch and so, HAD to eat cookies.  That was all there was but did I need to eat THREE??

So yesterday was another cookie day and then for supper had a broiled pork chop.   Still under my calorie allowance but again, way over my carb count.  Today the lunch is on the porch so will trip over it as I head out.

Walked for an hour yesterday and just going out the door for another round.

Scales are up but what did I expect.  

Hope you are all doing well.

  And Momsy I don't know why the scales act so strangely.  I will get up at 3am, hop on the scale and at 7am the same scale has usually changed.   Have done nothing in between but sleep.   Odd.

Hi All!  It's turning out to be a nice day here in central Maine.  The scale was up 1.3 lbs today.  I want to blame it all on the fact that I forgot to pick up my BP meds at the pharmacy -  a combo one that includes a diaretic.  As I ate some saltier foods yesterday, I'm probably retaining some fluid.  Having said all of that, which is true, I have to 'fess up and be accountable.  I also ate too many carbs and nibbled too much yesterday.  My lunch didn't have much protein in it - not by design, but what I ordered wasn't what I had expected.  Of course, then I had to have more protein, so two protein bars and 1 1/2 turkey sausages later, over the course of the afternoon, I'd more than made up my protein.  Then we had taco salad for supper, which when we have it, I typically don't eat the tortilla chips or have just 3-4.  Last night, I just kept eating the chips until I'd had at least 2 servings - very salty and way too many carbs.  What did I truly expect to see on the scale this morning, but a gain.  I can't change yesterday, but today I am being much more mindful of what's going in my mouth. 

On a more positive note, one of the folks who'd given notice for mid-July, has taken me up on my offer to go to part time and is staying, at least for the time being!  I'm feeling a little less stressed today.  I'm actually enjoying carrying a small caseload again too, as I get out of the office more. 

Have a wonderful rest of Thursday!
