Re: My Daily "Weighing in"

I am doing pretty well today but not perfect (like I really want to be ). This morning was really cold and rainy so I went to the gym for my walk. This is one thing I have kept up since I retired more than 5 years ago. I have downgraded to just 1.5 miles a day lately but want to get back to my three miles. I did more than 1.5 miles today so that was good. I find that if I eat way off plan that my legs just feel so heavy ! Today I felt back to normal after my "up North" trip where salt must have been plentiful . I have lost more than 4 pounds since getting back and I figure it is all water weight.
Breakfast was oatmeal and a pear
Lunch was a big salad with balsamic vinegar for the dressing. I am really loving fennel chopped up in my salads ! So good ! With lunch I had potatoes, veggies and an oil free cheese sauce that was baked. It was good but not exciting. I guess that is a good thing. After that I slipped and had bread. My husband is baking bread again. I didn't have any yesterday but caved today. I was able to stop though so that is good.
Tonight is our book club night ! If not hungry before then I will have dinner afterward. It will be a bowl of the chili I made yesterday (and NO bread !). I have been thinking about making polenta.....I bet chili would taste good over polenta ! Will see what I have time for. The next book for book club is Dear Edward. I have just started it but it is good so far !
That's it for now ! I will be back !
