So for breakfast... you guessed it, scrambled egg biscuit. Well I made a can of 8 biscuits, and I'm not big on wasting food (isn't that what got me in this fat mess in the first place??), so I'll eat egg biscuits a few more time. For some reason Jason hasn't eaten any... I think he's in a hurry when he leaves for work so breakfast is far from his mind.
It rained all morning so I didn't feel like going to the grocery store. The rain also prevented me from taking Heinz on our daily walk. We laid around the majority of the morning.
Jason's friends came over for lunch, and they all asked how the diet was going. I told them to take all my Halloween candy because I'm still tempted to eat a 3 Musketeers. Jason and I ate our leftover Subway sandwiches, and mine might have been better today than it was last night! At any rate, I enjoyed it thoroughly and wanted more. Having the guys over for lunch helped me not to eat anymore... didn't want to look like a "fatty" in front of people.
After lunch I finally went to the grocery store. Jason and I decided our meals for the rest of the week, so grocery shopping was easy. I left the store to come home and prepare dinner.
After dinner was "ready" I met Laura at the gym. We stayed on the elliptical for a good 20 minutes, burning 200 calories.
After Jason came home, I put the final touches on the pork chops and heated the mashed potatoes. Both were delicious... and Jason agreed! I highly recommend these recipes. When I told my mom about my mashed potatoes, she mentioned that maybe I should make them for THANKSGIVING! Jason and I loved them, and hopefully everyone else will, too! And, it'll help me keep track of my calories on Thanksgiving Day.
Since I didn't go for a walk with Heinz, Jason and I decided to play a little bit of tennis. We've started playing tennis in Biloxi with some friends, and I'm even on a tennis team. My first doubles season ended, and I had a perfect record --- all losses! Oh well, it's a lot of fun and great exercise. Anyway, Jason and I played singles tennis for a little over 45 minutes. A fabulous workout ... and a fun married thing to do!
So here I am, typing and calculating. It appears like I've had another successful day with the diet. Thanks for all the words of encouragement and the comment posts. I really appreciate it!
