06/03/10: There goes another

I'm totally loving this!  Got on the scale again this morning...it's what I do...I always will...I don't hate this about myself...or my mornings....sometimes it's comedy, sometimes it's feedback. 

And there went another half pound.  This loss of a half puts me at 225 now.  It's time for pictures.  Woohoo.

Probably won't take the pictures until this weekend, though.  Hubby is going out with the other bosses tonight to see some Broadway show or another.  I know it's one I want to see so I'm blocking out what it is so that when I decide we should go see it, I won't have to say, "ah, but Honeybunny saw it without me".  So if I can successfully forget, which I've done, then it will be fine to go see it in a few weeks together.  :)

Won't happen, though.  We aren't in a traveling Broadway phase right now...we're in a pool and sun phase...

Pictures might happen Friday...but then again...might be Sunday.  All I know is if this trend keeps up - I gotta take 'em soon or they'll be the 2-teens pictures!

I need my scrapbook, ya know.

Restriction.  Still don't got it.  But I'm doing pretty well, I think.  I'm finding that I am going longer before I need to eat a snack.  I guess I'm hoping the next fill will officially get me to not needing to snack.

We ate sushi last night.  It was the first time since surgery that we actually went to a sushi bar and sat down and had multiple rolls.  We ordered 4 rolls, to be exact.  We now know that we'll order 3 next time.  I had 2 pieces from each of the 3 specialty rolls and 3 pieces of our basic roll (a California roll with cream cheese instead of cucumber - it's how my Hubby likes it and it's pretty good, I'll say!).  A total of nine pieces.  It all went down fine but I had to eat each piece by the half and chew chew chew.  I also had a seaweed salad - one of my favorite things!  Did you know a seaweed salad only has 19 calories?  Yum stuff!

I love that nothing is off limits so far but I'm sure eating a hell of a lot less of it!  That's just awesome to me.  I want to keep it this way!  The band, to me, isn't supposed to be punishment.  It's supposed to be feedback to help me become and stay wise!  And so far, I'm not disappointed in that!

As with Tuesday, my calorie burn was quite a bit lower than the two previous Wednesday's which were all very comparable.  So maybe this is the beginning of a plateau?  I don't know yet.  I'm sure watching closely.  We'll see how the rest of the week goes...

We also went to our local Academy (the largest in Texas, I might add) and bought a bunch of dumbbells.  Then we went to Fitness Unlimited and bought a weight plate tree and a dumbbell rack.  One goal this weekend is to get the gym more organized and get a larger tv up on the mount.  That larger tv is sitting on the ground (there's a smaller tv currently on the mount) and moving the larger tv and donating the small tv will create more floor space - where the tree and rack will both live.  We have a set of those block weights, where you put in the bars to get whatever weight you are after.  Supposed to be space savers.  But I don't like working with them.  There are only about two exercises I do that are conducive to those blocks, the rest I'm distorting my wrist to get them to work for what I'm trying to do.  I'd rather not distort my wrist....

So...then...get home...from this wonderful dinner and this fabulous shopping...and our power had obviously been off due to apparently a whole day of storms and rain sitting over our house (yes, the pool even overflowed - I hate that we don't have an overflow drain!).  Our power being off took down our internet...and in trying to fix it...looks like it's more than just needing to be reset...may actually be a blown modem...but I start futzing with the internet router...and now our computers won't even connect.  So I made the internet problem into a router problem, too.  We'll see if I have enough time to futz with it tonight...I do know that my workout is my first priority, though.

I sat there for two and a half hours trying to futz with it all...and it's not worth calling Comcast about the modem until I can get the router back to functional.  But my feelings of exuberance about a great evening ended up shot.  :{

Oh well.  It's a new day.  And I lost another half pound!  I have no complaints - only joy!  Woohoo!!!
