At 10 a.m. we will head out for water aerobics. I haven't been since last Friday when it started to rain five minutes in to it. Looks like the weather will hold out better today.
Yesterday's Mahj tournament was a hoot. We had a made up card full of hands from various years going back as far as 1975, hands I had never seen before. Unfortunately, they collected the card back at the end of the day. Everybody struggled for the first round of play just trying to learn the card. I won one game at the second round and again at the third round, so I felt pretty good.
Lunch turned out to be great. They were serving pre-made Chef's Salad, dressing on the side, roll and butter, and the biggest chocolate chip cookies I ever saw. I did NOT take a cookie. YAY for me and my will power. I asked the lady in charge what lunch was going to be before the event started and mentioned I was vegetarian. She told me it was Chef's salad, so I was thinking I'd just take the meat off, but five minutes later she came back and said the kitchen was making me a box without meat. Fabulous! It was a huge plastic container of Romaine lettuce with a hard boiled egg and about 1/3 cup of shredded cheese on it with a few slices of cucumber and tomato. I ate one small roll with half a pat of butter and that was IT. I made a good day out of a day with a meal out of the house. I'm proud of myself.
Even though the day was great and I programmed all the calories, 1327 out of the 1470 I'm allotted, I was still up a half pound this morning to 267.5. It can't be water weight because the sodium was only 1926 mg, well in range. So I don't really know why I'm up that half pound. I hope that with the water aerobics today and calories at 1413 our of the 1470 (but with 190 of those covered by exercise), I'll see a loss again tomorrow before going out to Bonefish Grille for dinner with the synagogue Sisterhood. Sodium will be 2700 mg today, so that's a bit over the range. If anything causes a gain today, I'm betting that will be it.
