Week 10 Day 1

My weight has stayed pretty much the same this week. I'm not looking forward to weigh-in this morning. I'm 1.2 pounds away from my 10% goal. Hope I make it.

I'm having lunch with my pal, Mary. She has a new ride, so she'll want to drive. Since hubby won't be home for dinner tonight, I'll make this my main meal.

I had gained .6 pound....not happy, but I realize I ate fried squash and fried okra during the week. I don't eat okra any other way. Sigh. I am commiting to getting my 10% award next Wednesday.

Met Mary for lunch at a Thai place we both like. I did not know the nutritional breakdown of anything on the menu so I blindly selected Pad-Woon Sen. It was delicious but I came home and finally found the value online. 11 points!!! Thank goodness I only ate half of it--6 points, I supppose. It's also huge in sodium so I'm drinking a 16-ounce glass of water as I type this. Not sure whether to eat the other half or throw it out. It was so good...

Ate the rest of the Thai with some cauliflower and a small apple. Drank 32 oz. of water to help dilute the sodium. I guess that means I'll be getting up a lot tonight.

Miss WW challenged us to eat 1/2 plate of salad and other 1/2 for anything else. I plan to do that and also use a smaller plate. I'm also going to get back to chewing each bite of food 20-30 times and putting my utensil down between bites. She also said to add color to the plate but I think I do a good job with that already.
