Hanging On
The coaster is headed downhill again after the weekend's slight upturn. It took me until today to get back to where I was, and I'm another 0.4 from there...213.2. Yay. I think that as long as I don't let upcoming visits to my parents' throw me off track like the did this time, the downhill course should be fairly smooth.
I'm not having any problems sticking to the program right now. All of my cravings are satisfied, and I'm only hungry when I go too long between meals (like when I get busy at work and ignore the signs that scream "snack time"). It's funny though...I've been noticing smells a lot more than I did before. It's almost like my olfactory senses are on pregnant mode (I was super-sensitive to smells both times). I never realized how heavy the smell of grease was. It's hard on my nose!!
My FlavorWave arrived yesterday. I'll have to wait until Saturday to use it simply because I need to clean off some counter space. My first experiment will be a turkey breast. And if that turns out well, I'll do a beef roast. Then I'll have cooked meat available to grab for wraps or whatever when I don't have time or desire to cook a full meal. Could be fun.
