You Win Some, You Lose Some!

I wish I would have written a post last week to celebrate reaching a total loss of 10 pounds. Then again, if I’d done that, I would have to hide the fact that this week, I gained 7….. There’s something funky happening: this week, I am 7 pound up from where I was just 1 week ago, which was 3 down from the week before! I started to see a dietician 2 weeks ago and she is tracking my weight weekly. Although I celebrated my birthday (over 2 days!!) and then traveled most of the week, therefore enjoying great restaurants & cocktail parties, I didn’t expect such gain. However, in the last 2 weeks, I lost 1 inch around my waist and hips. How do you explain that???? I think I’ll just disregard this week’s weight and I’ll wait for next week to get alarmed. I haven’t gone back to the last belt hole yet, so there’s hope for me! After eating out for many days, I was glad to be home and be juicing again for breakfast! These carrots, apple and a chunk of beet never tasted so good! And today, I made a very tasty soup for lunch: onions, carrots, navy beans, sweet potatoes, orzo pasta and Banger sausage in chicken broth and used Ancho chile pepper powder and some Mexican Oregano I got in California last month. Very tasty!! Oh and I also bought some Dalmatian Sage; does anyone knows what to do whith that? I never use sage other than in stuffing so suggestions would be welcomed!

Happy Birthday to Me!!

Look at the wonderful (and delicious!!) gift I received at work from Joan and Patsy! It's made by Edible Arrangements and it's full of fruits skewers! So thoughtful and the girls know that I'm watching what I eat so they ask for just a few strawberries dipped in chocolate, and not milk chocolate but dark because they know that's what I prefer!! I'm very lucky! The picture doesn't show how big and full it was because by the time I took it, half of the fruits were already in my belly!! It was really stunning and I know I make many jealous when I walked throught the plant with my special delivery!! Thanks again girls and I hope we'll be lucky with our lottery ticket tonight!

I also received calls galore, cards, e-wishes and care packages full of happy wishes. Thank you all for thinking of me!

I might be going for a "water" theme....

SoPoBoMo is Starting Today!

The Solo Photo Book Month project is starting today! The goal is to take 35 photos during 31 days and to “publish” it in a virtual book. It’s open to anyone and thanks to Jamie for the suggestion; I thought I’d give it a shot. I barely finished my online course from the FIT than I was signing up for this project 5 minutes later!! Couldn’t I just take it easy??? My photos are not that great but isn’t it the intention that count? My problem will be to try to stick to one subject; I tend to scatter my thoughts….This my first photo for the project.
