Friday, May 10th, 2013

Wow....scale is finally back to 129 pounds for the first time since last October. 

And I was good yesterday:
breakfast:  oatmeal and applesauce
lunch:  less than 1/2 can tuna and a fresh small tomato
snack:   almond nuts

dinner at the clubhouse for the annual meeting:
1 small glass of white wine
salad, lettuce, beans, tomatoes, NO DRESSING
piece of chicken about half the size of my hand
1 slice of garlic toast about 1 x 5 inches
and a small dessert...vanilla pudding..firm...on a crumb base about 2 inches square

And I was never hungry....just hard not to eat the following that was offered:
more wine
popcorn
pasta
salad dressing
and lots of different desserts

But I'm glad this morning that I passed on the extra food.

Received a french inventory from our 2nd apartment this morning...the one in the 5th near the Luxembourg Gardens....I put it into google translate and it worked beautifully.  It is a well supplied apartment.  If you want the list I can send it to you.   In fact...I'll email it to you after I send this.

My goal today is to get some housework done...haven't touched it since before NYC...Jim has vacumned and done other things but the bathrooms and dusting have been waiting for me.  There are times when I feel like Sarah in the book Under the Plane Tree.

Tomorrow we go to Costa Mesa to watch Katie in the CIF competition..first round...for disk throw and shot put.  She set a record for her school in one of them this year.  Ben didn't fair so well.  He did not qualify for CIF...he did last year so he must be disappointed.  But I'm sure the Prom this year was a good substitute.  Katie has her eye on a good looking guy (saw him at the last track meet) but so far has not started to date.

I've been sorting the things I brought home from Big Bear and have a stack to go back for the kid's garage sale.  I am going to bring the two card tables home next trip.
