Day 90: Trying New Things

Posted by sbd4sbp on July 14, 2008

The scale has been very noncommittal the past couple of days. I think I still weigh 197 this morning. A couple of times it said 196.5, but it also said 199 a time or two (and I know that is wrong). I’m going with the 197 because it’s the closest to yesterday’s being that it is exactly the same.

Anyway, had a pretty successful weekend. Friday night Hubbo and I went out on a date. I had several things that are allowed on Phase II in moderation: red wine, rice pilaf, wheat bread. I felt guilty afterward because although I know they’re all technically legal, I felt like I shouldn’t have had them all together (and also because I had a handful – maybe 10 – of peanut M&Ms at work that day.) I gained half a pound that day but it didn’t really bother me – could have been worse.

Yesterday we went shopping at Whole Foods for a couple things, and this is always a treat for me. We got some whole wheat mini pitas to stuff! We’re both pretty excited about that. We’re also going to try the Ezekiel 4:9 pitas to see what we think. I’ve heard both great and terrible things about Ezekiel 4:9 products, so we want to make our own decision about them.

I guess that’s about it, but I can throw in this: I made the Gazpacho recipe from the book last week for some lunches. Delicious! I never thought it would taste like that.
