My dress arrived from Chadwick's today -- it's a very plain French blue thing that I can wear for the casino night next week, and I got it on clearance for $30 (so it seemed like a bargain until I had to order a new bra to go with it -- that's going to cost more than the dress by a lot!! I hate being a weird size). I ordered a size 10 because that's what they had, but I was worrying about the size -- I shouldn't have! It's about right across the chest and it's loose through the midsection!! :-) So I feel very skinny. And I've ordered the bra in a 34 band size, which is down from anything I've worn in a decade.
Yesterday I had my usual breakfast (sans OJ because I was too lazy to make it), lunch of yogurt and pretzels, and snacks of almonds and string cheese. Then for dinner we went to a catered thing, but the place that catered was kinda crunchy so we had kung pao tofu, which turned out to be extremely yummy. But I ate a not-too-huge serving, and then I picked at the fruit and vegetable platters most of the night. The veggies should have been healthy, but I'd had a small salad with a feta-garlic dressing that turned out to be soooo good that I spent the night dipping the veggies in more dressing, and I have no idea how much of it I ate. I didn't eat dessert, though. But I drank a bit more wine than I'd intended because it turned into something of a tasting -- I had a glass of zin and a really dull riesling (so dull that I threw out the last couple of swallows) and a small glass of chardonnay even though I'm not that much of a fan, and I also had another red wine but I forget what kind, something from Argentina. Four smallish glasses. And pretzels when I got home because there was NOTHING salty there to eat with the wine -- we could really have used cheese and crackers, but then I would have had a gazillion more calories! My weight was down this morning so maybe my calories weren't that bad yesterday (but more likely I'll be paying for it tomorrow). Seems to me I must have had some fruit during the day -- I'm pretty sure I ate an apple but I don't recall when.
I got no exercise yesterday -- we didn't get home from French until after 4:30 and I didn't realize we needed to be at the reception at 6 so I didn't hurry to work out, and then it was too late. So I haven't exercised since last Wednesday and I'm a big mushy blob right now.
Today I had my usual breakfast, and I had lunch of a peanut butter and apple sandwich -- I'm avoiding sweets for Lent, if you haven't noticed (longest week of my life so far, I think) so I didn't want to cave in and have jelly, but I was really in the mood for a sandwich and we didn't have any lunchmeat thawed, and we didn't even have bananas and I don't like pickles, as everyone knows. So I ate it with an apple and it was pretty good, but it would have been better with seven times as much peanut butter. :) I've had snacks of almonds twice today, and I had a small handful of pretzels. Daniel and I are going to meet at the gym when he gets away from work, but it's after 5:30 and I haven't heard from him yet, so I'm thinkin' this is gonna be a late night, ugh. We're going to eat leftover kung pao tofu for dinner (the kids won't; it was too spicy), and I'll have milk to drink, and maybe I'll be good after dinner since it will be late. Ha.
I'm maybe two weeks away from new jeans -- why do I sabotage myself like this??
