That pesky scale is still on the floor. At this point it might as well stay since it's only two more days to Weigh-in Wednesday, and I've already been on it today. It said I am up 1/2 pound. That's why I shouldn't get on it. Still, there are two more days that should be excellent with all meals eaten at home and lots of exercise. A little change up or down should not be significant.
Saturday I ate 1435 calories, but I had no exercise. On Sunday I at 1306 calories and walked at least a half hour because we went into the Magic Kingdom for the afternoon parade.
Mark made a new special Sunday breakfast yesterday morning that I hope he brings back some day. It was called Bacon-Pea-Swiss Scramble. He used Smart Bacon (soy) instead of the turkey bacon the recipe called for. It was 194 calories, 5 g of carb, very delicious!
Saturday we enjoyed the services and the luncheon to honor our friends' anniversary. It was number 48 for them. Nice. I ate a big plate of tossed salad, to which I added some extra celery sticks, baby carrots, and red pepper strips. On top of that I put about a cup of tuna salad and took 5 Flaxseed chips. That was it, so I was pretty proud of myself!
When we got back from shul, I sat on the lanai reading from 2:30 in the afternoon until 6:30 when it was time to come in for dinner. I finished Game of Thrones, and then I finished Peony, also. Now I need to find another book! I actually think I have some more on my Kindle, so I should look there first. I want to get the second volume of Game of Thrones, too.
Today we will go to the gym for weights, then to the pool to swim, and I already walked 1.1 miles in 25 minutes, which burned 95 calories. My Lose It! program claims that swimming laps burns a ton of calories. I don't know if that's true for me because I'm such a slow swimmer. If I swim 35 minutes, the program says I burned 353 calories. I log that in on the program, but I never allow myself to eat those calories back because I really doubt that I burned that many.
Besides exercise, I will also play Mah Jongg this afternoon and go to a HEAL (Healthy Eating Active Living) club meeting. There is a speaker today, so I hope it's interesting.
Two more days and then my official weigh-in. I'm actually excited for it to come this week.
