OMG......RED LOBSTER

Sunday for lunch my friend and I went to Red Lobster..  I got a half order of a sampler of crab, shrimp and lobster on a bed of linguine in a butter and wine sauce.  Oh!  What a wonderful flavor blend and it had been probably six or seven years since I had eaten at a Red Lobster -   and I am to weigh in tomorrow at weight watchers.  Woe is me.  All the food was just slathered with butter.  I repeat, woe is me.

Today I went to Beverly Hills with a friend to visit some friends there.  We went out to Wendy's for lunch and I had a cod fish sandwich.  It was very good but I didn't really need to order the fries with it.  Not if I wanted to lose weight this week.  We will see how that turns out tomorrow. 

All week this week is supposed to be in the 80's. Now we are getting some Florida weather right along with that sunshine.  I am going to hit that pool this week.  Something I promised myself. 

My birthday is Saturday.  That should be fun since I am not to eat cake on my weight loss plan.  However, I really can eat cake if I want to. It is just that if  I eat cake then I can't eat some other food which I would like.  I'm not really that fond of cake unless it is really moist, and full of chocolate; but I really do love the cake icing, especially the one that tastes like marshmallow.  Oh yes, I do love ice  cream cake.

Got a blood test yesterday morning.  That lipid panel, you know the one that tells you the  LDL/HDL levels in the blood among other tests on that same line of thought.  We will find the results on the 21st.

SPEAKING OF GAS PRICES;

Gouging or not, gas prices are up there again!  I was rummaging through some of my papers and notes yesterday and this popped up.  It was a note I made of something I was going to put in one of my blogs and honestly, I didn't look to see if I had put this in a blog last April.   But here it is:  REMEMBER WHEN;  APRIL 25, 2011.  GAS PRICES IN TUSCON ARE THE LOWEST IN THE USA AT THE PRICE OF $3.64 A GALLON FOR REGULAR UNLEADED.  CHICAGO WAS THE HIGHEST AT OVER $4.00 A GALLON.   Looks familiar today doesn't it?  

Weight Watchers report:  I weighed in today at my weight watchers meeting and I have lost another 2 lbs. That is a good thing because any more than that and I would be losing it too fast.  And Charlotte, I am working on the fat now,  the water was gone the first 6lbs.  I now weigh 233.8 lbs.  I have about 98 more pounds to lose to reach my long term goal.  So far I have now lost a total of 8.4 lbs since I started weight watchers. Now my points are lower per day so I have to eat slightly less, but not enough that I will really notice. Just 1 point less per day.

Been raining here and yesterday evening we had a regular thunder storm. You know the kind that has lightning with it.  Good sleeping weather.  This morning it poured down rain for about 5 minutes then quit and the sun came out.  There were still some dark clouds in the sky.  Enough about the weather,
More next time. 

WEIGHT WATCHERS,,Report card....

Thursday was weigh in day for me at weight watchers.  I was really anxious this time since I had gained 1.6 lb last time I weighed.  I really do work hard at this and take it serious.  I do my tracking every day.  Well, here is the result of all that hard work.  I weighed in at 235.8.  I had lost exactly 2 lbs.  Well, I expected a little less but that 2 lbs is right on track.  I am to lose 2 lbs a week; hopefully, I don't lose any more than that.  That is a good rate of loss for permanent weight loss.
I learned something new this weeek.  My computer will not put articles which I copy into alphabetical order for me.  I was offered a program which would do that for me but it would cost $10.00 a month.  I did not think it would be worth the money for a one time occasion.
It will be getting cold here again this weekend.  It is going to rain all week end long and that means it will be colder but not down in the 20's this time.
May go to flea market in the morning and walk around.  May buy some tomatoes while I am there if I go.  It is not supposed to rain early in the morning but one never knows for sure.

WEIGHT WATCHERS!!!!!!!

Today was weigh in day at weight watchers.  After the great 6lb weight loss last week this was a real disappointment. I have gained 1.6 lb.  can you believe it?  I was tracking all week as I always do.  I'm not too disappointed though because that is just what my body does.  The bad thing is I did everything as I should have.  We will just have to wait til next thursday to see if I have lost any more.  Oh well, thats one of my lifes adventures. See ya next week with my report!

sand cranes as I promised.........

These are some beautiful birds. They are family birds. They mate for life and keep their children with them until they find a mate.Sometimes they make a nest in water on some little island of weeds and reeds.

HELLO WEIGHT WATCHERS11111111111111

Been a busy week. Went to the Enrichment Center Monday and Tuesday.  The director had a birthday so we all had cake of course.  Well, almost all of us, lol.  I did not partake of the cake.  Since I am on weight watchers and did not want to use my points for that.  One day this week my friend and I went to visit some of her friends, all nice ladies.  We will be seeing them again soon.  That was a fun trip.  Thursday in case you didn't remember I had a Doctors appointment to see what my ct. scan of my lungs showed up.  They showed clear.  No growths, nodules nor nodes there.  That would explain why I am breathing so good this week.  Just been a couple or three weeks ago that I was having problems and couldn't keep up with my friend when we were walking.   Went out to eat Friday night at John's family restaurant.  The food was great.  I had a broiled grouper fillet.  It was out of this world delicious and cooked perfectly.  Yesterday, my friend and I went to visit her sister.  She and her husband live somewhere toward Orlando and no we didn't go to Disney World.  Her sister ask us to stay for dinner and she fixed really delicious food and it was not so high in points.  I noticed she did not fry anything.  It was the best meal I have had in a very long time.  It may have even surpassed the Grouper fillet meal the evening before.  While we were there my friend's brother-in-law showed me a pair of sand cranes that came up in his yard to eat..I took pictures which I will post on here soon.  They were so close, I could have touched them but didn't think that to be a good idea.  They are wild creatures.  One of them was losing a feather and it was sticking out and had not dropped off yet.

OK.  Here it is.  What you have all been waiting to find out so I won't let you down.  I weighed in at weigh watchers on Thursday.  My weight was 236.2 pounds - I have lost 6 pounds.  I am excited now and can't wait to weigh in again this coming Thursday.
