rainy days and mondays....
Well, today wasn't so great, and neither was the weekend, but this morning, standing on the scale sans clothes, I somehow lost ONE pound. Better than nothing. I just have to clean out the fridge and get on the ball. I need my Laughing Cow. I have strawberries at work, so tomorrow I'm set there. I have to stop going to the store hungry. Or coming home from work hungry.
Today, I had a bagel with egg, turkey, and cheese (swiss and american). Lovely. Then for lunch? Beef jerky. Sooo very healthy. Might as well just inflate me, because with all that sodium, I'm bound to swell. The jerky was sort of a snack, but due to a late meeting, I didn't get lunch, so it became lunch. I ate 2 "One Point Bars" from WW, which held me over until dinner. I came home, had some cheese and crackers, then some blue corn chips and queso, hmmmm, oh, then I had ICE CREAM at Maggie Moos. It was the "Udderly Cream" and "Cheesecake" mixed together with some non pareils. Only the guy, instead of giving me a regular, gave me enough for a large, and charged me a regular price. THANKS BUDDY. I'm feeling very full, but praying I didn't totally sabotage my ONE POUND.
I have been doing good with water, and Sin, I will really try and walk tomorrow at lunch if it isn't too hot. I can't come back and shower at work, so maybe after work if it's too hot at 1pm.
I really appreciate all the nice words from folks, and I wish everyone BIG LOSSES!! I know I've said that before, but I mean it. I've found some really great people on here, and I want to keep in touch. I think we women are pitted against each other a lot in society, often times by men in some vain attempt at pumping up their egos. Men LOVE to have women fight over them (sadly, there are a few of those kind at my job). But we should all stick together and have each other's backs.
I have much more fun in the company of women than I do around men (except my husband, who makes me laugh daily). Mind you, when Muslim sisters get together, it IS just women, and that was one of the things that got me over the "hump" that was my roadblock to becoming Muslim (the reasons it took so long seem so silly now.....which is another story for another time). In Ramadan 2004, some girls (one of whom had already become Muslim some months before), went to an "iftar" (breaking of the fast at Ramadan), and it was SO MUCH FUN!!! So much comraderie!! No cattiness or hate, or any of that garbage. I wanted more. That wasn't what finally got me to embrace Islam, but the warm feeling I got lead me to believe I was making the right decision, and I knew it was only a matter of time before I became Muslim (and it was actually only about a month after that that I did). I saw that women can have FUN and not be all competitive. I could go on and on, but I'm afraid I'd bore everyone.
But honestly.......if I could have a wish, it would be that we could all get together for coffee or tea and a nice big SALAD (fruit or greens), and just chat and have fun!!
Okay, I'm off to bed! Talk to everyone later!!
