I'm glad to report that the scale finally registered a lower number, 153. It's a good sign. Though as I mentioned before, I will count weekly averages as signs of success or failure.
Tomorrow, school starts back up and I will have to post in the late afternoons/evenings during school days, since I teach high school (school day starts at 7:15).
Also, today I need to go grocery shopping to prepare for bringing lunches to school. NO WAY can I eat in the cafeteria and remain steady on this diet. I won't even try it. I'll be stocking up on:
Cut vegetables (mainly celery, cucumbers, squash, grape tomatoes)
Deli turkey for sandwiches (one slice of bread)
Cottage cheese
Activia yogurts
V-8
Eggs (to hard boil)
Apples
Tuna (in water) mix with cut up apples & celery, plus 1 tablespoon of homemade mayonnaise, using Alton Brown's recipe (well, at least safflower oil has a lot of good omega fats and few saturated fats) for an option to turkey
Speaking of oils, here is a great comparison of the calories/fat content of various cooking oils.
Today my online research will focus on tasty-looking recipes that I can make in the Crockpot with beans, since beans are the wonder food for dieting.
I'll have my workout today folding laundry, vacuuming, etc. The usual Sunday, get ready for the week.
Hope everybody is enjoying the last vacation day before school starts back up...
