Get on the scale this morning. The scale says: 199.2.
I'll take it.
And even better than that? I am an entire number down on that nasty BMI scale!!! Hoorah for me!!!
And before we get to what I ate today, this is the jello that I had a few spoonfuls of last night:
Took two small packages of sugar-free Black Cherry Jell-o...added two cups of boiling water, stirred until dissolved. Put about 3/4 cup of the jello into my container. Put that in the fridge for 20 minutes. Mixed about 1/2 cup of the remaining jello with a few tablespoons of plain nonfat Greek yogurt. Gently poured that on top...back into the fridge for 20 minutes. Then, carefully poured the remaining jello on top. Back into the fridge. Easy enough.
To what I ate today.
For breakfast, I added cinnamon to my Galette. I love how it smells. Smells like my mom's pancakes. And it looked like it also! Mostly. I think I'll add a touch more cinnamon tomorrow morning...perhaps a touch of nutmeg and ginger. I also drank my water-milk...otherwise known as skim milk.
Didn't have a morning snack today. When I was starting to get hungry, it was about lunch time. So I just started my lunch. Kind of weird not munching on stuff. Like, really weird.
For lunch, I fell back onto my trusty turkey patties. And some nonfat cottage cheese. Which, seriously, isn't bad. Who knew? Not me. And, making it's first appearance in a picture here, is my handy dandy insulated cup of ice water. The one that is usually within reach...and yes, it's right here by me at this time.
Before dinner was ready, I got hungry. And the hubby's bread was calling out to me. Oh man. This was tricky. I may have to put it in the freezer. I grabbed my baggie of leftover turkey bacon and ate a few pieces. Hubby saw me...was eyeballing it...I asked if he wanted some. He asked if I had enough, I said sure. Gave him a few pieces. He said, that's pretty good...not bad...
For dinner, I roasted a turkey breast. Made him instant mashed potatoes (credit to him for not mentioning it...I just can't put the time and energy into real ones when I don't get to taste) and gravy, corn and the last two pieces of cheese toast I had in the freezer. Corn doesn't tempt me unless it's fresh corn on the cob...food sensitivities work well for me there. Cheese toast...I can take or leave. Mashed 'tatoes and gravy? I had to pretend they weren't there. When getting his lunch put away for tomorrow, I just threw away any leftovers. It was sad looking at them. He asked if I can have them after I get through the attack phase. I said I don't think I get them for a long time...I think I get sweet potatoes thought (I said with as perky of a tone as possible...he didn't buy it...he knows they're not high on my favored list). So, he had a "normal" dinner that didn't bother me. What did I eat? Some lovely slices of turkey breast. Some more nonfat cottage cheese and an egg with a little salt (oh hush now) and mustard powder. Not a lot of lovely colors, but it worked.
One more day on this attack phase. In some ways, it'll be a bit of a downer to say goodbye to it. But in many other ways, it's a good thing. I'm ready for some spinach and brussel sprouts. And we're doing a little overnight trip in a few days...we'll see how I do while away from home. I have my cooler...I am prepared to order meat.
And...although I will be happy with any decrease in the numbers on the scale tomorrow morning...nope. I'll just leave it there. I think I shall be going to bed early tonight. I am feeling a bit down in the dumps and so will not stay up late...to avoid snacking temptations. Here's to a lower number in the a.m. Even parts of a pound will do.
