Happy Happy Joy Joy
Please join me in a happy dance - my first official Saturday weigh-in (date changed because of my new team… the Hot Rods!) was a good one. I’m down 3 pounds - actually I guess it’s technically 3.5 now that I think about it! So what does this mean? (1) I lost all my Wisconsin ‘baggage’ and then some (2) I hit my first mini goal (3) I got a red star - woo hoo!! and (4) My rules work for me! So happy happy - joy joy!! Let’s dance.
And after all that dancing, I am taking tonight off my rules. Pretty much all of them I think. My big date is tonight and he has to work today and won’t get home until 6:30 ish so we are having a late supper, at an Italian restaurant where there’s bound to be gluten and casein in spades. So what’s my plan of attack? (1) Walk 6 miles today. (2) Eat bulky light calories (big salads, etc) and no grains at all during the day. (3) Get through the gallon of water before the date and drink lots of it on the date. (4) At the restaurant, choose a a strong protein meal and start with a salad to fill up. No dessert, no pasta dish, no pizza! Anyway, I deserve a night off so I’m taking it. But don’t worry - I know I don’t deserve all day off, and I don’t deserve tomorrow off so know that I will be very much on track before and afterward. I just want to have a really good time tonight. I’m really excited for this date - more than I’ve been in a long while. I already know that I think he’s cute, and he’s easy to talk to, and he laughs easily… so hopefully there will be some real magic to report tomorrow.
Allrighty kiddoes I realize this is a short post for me, particularly when I haven’t blogged all wee, but I clearly have a lot to do before tonight! Including 6 miles. And figuring out what I’m going to wear! Yikes!
Have a wonderful Saturday my beautiful buddies. I wish you happiness and joy all day long. Hugs! Ellen
