Summer Eating

This is the time of year I have a huge problem.  We get together with friends all the time and there is always a lot of food and drink.

One big difference this year is I am now severely lactose intolerant.  Can’t even look at the stuff without getting sick.  That limits my choices of things I can have and makes me HAVE to bring food.  Well if I’m gonna bring food, it’s gonna be healthier.

Also because of this lactose issue I can go days with barely eating.  Not healthy, but after getting sick my stomach just won’t take much.  And then my portions get super small because my stomach has shrunk so much.

I know this has kept me from going overboard on the food the past couple of weeks.  I am eating junk, but the portions are so small that my calorie counts are still where they should be.  YIPPEE!

Weekly weigh in

K, maybe it’s a monthly weigh in if I’m luck.  lol  But I’m here so shhhh.  I was a little more excited this morning than I am this afternoon.  I weighed in this morning at 166 and was so excited that I had only 1 pound left to hit the first major goal.

But then we realized that the scale is off and it upped my weight to 167.  :(   RATS!  Ok, I’ll still take it, but I liked 1 pound much better.

I do have to say it’s exciting to see the scale jump around the 167-169 weight range when I move around on the scale.  Such a big difference mentally.
