15.1 POUNDS DOWN!!!

Ha! First of September and down that much already. I am a happy (not camper....Oh, I got it!) stay-in-the-house-and-hide person!! I was a bit concerned this week when the time to weigh came because I had some extra take-out. Two days I was out past noon and starving, so I got something from town on the way home. Waco, TX is the home of the slowest drive-thrus anywhere. That is true at off-peak times, so oh Lordy, I would rather be shot thango through one at meal times, especially noon when people are buying lunch. Thankfully, we have Taco Bueno. My daughter says it's because nobody eats there, but I think it is because their employees are fast. I believe they understand the concept of "fast". Sooooo, I went both days to Taco Bueno. I got the Big Ol' Beef Burrito both times(because it was good the first time) and it had lots of lettuce and tomato on it. It was delicious. Why did you not go to the Corral, you ask? Hahahahaha.....I didn't want to get out of the car again in this heat!

We are having an unseasonable heat wave. Pbbbbbbbbbt! 104 yesterday. Hubby is a wonderful, wonderful man. He said the other night that since it is so hot, we can just eat leftovers or sandwiches. What a guy! I have had a ham sandwich two nights in a row. Last night, I made a few French fries to go with it. I woke up this morning with chicken salad on my mind. Sooooo, making that later with fat-free salad dressing. I have an egg cooker that makes boiled eggs, so I don't even have to heat up the stove for that. ( I adore my garage sale finds...paid $2 for that egg cooker and I love it!) I bought this little contraption for making an egg in the microwave a couple of weeks ago. I am going to try it out and see I can make it work without killing the egg.

I am a little bummed because I am out of Claussen mini dill pickles. I forgot to replenish my supply yesterday. That is because I had to get up at 4:30 am and the brain just wasn't working right when I got to the store. I use the pickles to signal to my body that I am through. They are my substitute for dessert at lunch. Eat the meal and finish with the two little pickles. It works.For me. You can find something that signals that you are finished. Now, at night, after dinner, it's my 3 Musketeers bar. Hahaha!! Hey, don't judge. I have said all along that I will never give up chocolate completely. I just downsized and have it less often. A LOT LESS OFTEN!! I have passed the bakery clearance rack consistently since the first week of July, so I am good.

I welcome anyone who wants or needs to lose weight to join me on my blog. It's sorta fun to have company in this sort of endeavor.
