The Progeny
Weigh-in Dayo, Week 2
It's been seven days, two hours, twenty-nine minutes, and....oh, about sixteen seconds since last week's weigh-in....
*drum roll*
Lost 4 more pounds! That's a total weight loss of 9.5 pounds over two weeks :-D
Wooty-woot fer Ma !
This past week I averaged 791 calories each day. I plan to stick with the strict methods for 2 more weeks and then reward myself with a few extra calories per day.
Enough stats.
Carolyn and I had an interesting time, Monday. After her checkup in Iowa City (which was fine) we came back north as far as Cedar Rapids and ate lunch at Panera Bread. Very crowded as it was prime noon traffic. And apparently everyone is used to sharing tables, for I heard several people saying, "Nice to have met you," as they prepared to leave.
Carolyn and I found a little table for two, quite close to another table for two, at which sat an older gentleman. Wasn't long before he made a bit of conversation, progressing to more and more talk between us.
Quite the CR resident. Gene Baxter was his name and he told us his 100th birthday was approaching in just a few months! He's a regular customer (years, actually) and gave us some history for Panera Bread as well as Pizza Ranch. Also married 76 years and in the process of writing a book. We had a memorable lunch :-)
I've already mentioned (on Facebook) my great finds at Goodwill, so I won't bore anyone with the facts of labels and prices and how I got a Liz Clairborne sweater and several Christopher & Bank tops and also a com-PLETELY new Limited Tee with the price tag still attached. All for half price, meaning $2.00 for sweaters and $.75 for the tees.
No, I'll just gloss over that part.
Speaking of stimulants, I did have to choose a new brand of coffee, being absent from my usual grocery environment. Standing before the array of instant coffees I pondered my options. The expensive choices were not going to happen. Ditto for the one and two dollar selections (seriously, is that even coffee?).
As I stood befuddled and slightly over-caffeinated from five diet colas, my eyes came to rest at "Nescafé Clásico Suave Light Roast."
Hmmm. The question being, "Was I, indeed, suave?"
To which I replied, "If not me, then who?" and bought the jar.
And I must say, I do feel quite smooth.

Wait - five colas?

I should really look at this more often!
Yes, it was five colas...either diet Coke or diet Pepsi.
And I did find out later that my stomach didn't seem to appreciate that many.
In fact, I went down again on Monday and only had 2 Diet Cokes and still it bothered my stomach. So, I may not be as tolerant since I'm not drinking them every day.
