Well, my company is gone, and I sacrificed very little in the way of my diet this weekend. I count that as a success. Last night we headed to Claim Jumper and again, although I did my homework and knew what I was going to order, the menu was different when I got there! Luckily, I discreetly checked MFP under the table, and made a choice that way. Ended up with The Chicken Citrus Salad, but the nutritional menu was confusing, I couldn’t be sure if that included dressing or not. I played it safe and just didn’t go overboard on anything. I even tried a few calamaris that the in-laws ordered. It wasn’t the best I have ever had, but pretty good.
It was at Claim Jumper that I had another NSV. Ran into my ex who works there as a server. It has been several years since I have seen him, and I am proud to say he didn’t recognize me at first. I am not sure if this means I am so skinny he didn’t recognize me, or my hair is much longer, but either way, I felt good and I knew I looked good, and I was ever so grateful that I ran into him well into my weight loss journey. Cuz 5 weeks ago, it was not the prettiest picture. Either way, he was the one who broke my heart a lifetime ago, and it felt good to look good and to be in a good place. Uncharacteristically, he was modest, which leads me to believe that things have not turned out like he had thought. Not that I wish him ill will, but I am happy to be where I am at and not where he is at.
Then we had a relaxing evening watching Amazing Race, and got to bed around 11:30. This morning, my in-laws took off before I was even out of bed, but thankfully stayed long enough to say goodbye to the kids this time. I got up around 7:30am and I got the kids ready for school and the drive was way slippery. I had to stay in 4 wheel drive up until the freeway. A little treacherous. School went well, and then we headed back home. Thankfully our skating rink had transformed back into a street. I got the kids fed and started in on the guest room, collecting laundry and picking up. I got inspired and ended up vacuuming the whole upstairs and then taking vinegar to every mirror in the house. Vigorously. I ended up working up a sweat, so I logged it as exercise. This is certainly not something I do daily. So I have two loads of laundry in, and just put the kids down. So I am thinking about dancing a little, then planning for dinner. I am probably going to do leftover steak with Quinoa Primavera. We’ll see.
On a side note, I would like to welcome my dear friend “F” to MFP; I have been watching your progress in amazement, and am so happy that you are seeing such quick results. You may be the Biggest Loser yet!!! So happy for you skinny mama!
