No movement in the weight today. After dropping 4 lbs in one week though, I'm not surprised. I almost expected a tiny spike today because yesterday's drop seemed too much to me so I thought there would be a correction.
My daughter has chosen a Chinese buffet for our family restaurant outing this week. These are always a challenge. There are a lot of good foods, safe foods, to be found there. But I know I'm going to want a bit of my favorites too (sesame chicken, potstickers). After having a very good weight loss week, I'm thinking one "cheat meal" is a good reward. All my other meals today I have planned lighter, and will probably skip my snacks altogether as we are going there for lunch and I won't be hungry the rest of the day. In fact, dinner might end up being fruit. I don't plan to go crazy at the buffet, but will still consume more food than I am currently accustomed to eating at one meal. I will load up on fruits and veggies in addition to my favorites though...always working in ways to get more of those in my day. My breakfast was plain Greek yogurt with raw honey, walnuts, and a banana. No morning snack because breakfast was late and we will be having lunch before too long.
No exercise today. I'm feeling some inflammation and a pinching sensation in my bad hip...the one thing the doctor was very clear on, "do not try pushing through the pain". It's frustrating, because I'm feeling gung ho about working out, but my body betrays me. Maybe a good day to dig through storage looking for dumbbells...start doing some upper body work when my hip is acting up.
