Today's Not So Good Things:
French fries at dinner - but I don't really feel bad about that
Dh took us to McD's for dinner tonite. The horrible, awful, terrible, no-good, very bad McD's. :-P
We had fun. :D With everyone going stir crazy from cabin fever and dh needing a break on his first day of studying for the Big Exam, it was a welcome break. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich, so a better choice than the usual Quarter Pounder, but still had the fries. ;) I'm not at my ETL maximum, but I'm still in target range.
I changed my activity level in MFD too, bringing down my daily calorie allowance just a bit. I think that's reasonable, so I'll see how the change works this coming week.
Tomorrow is my day off from logging and on for making good choices on my own. I'm looking foward to the day of rest.
One more week until my monthly weigh-in. I'm going to work hard on keeping my fiber up (that's been going very well, btw.) and decreasing my sodium as much as possible. I don't want to even think about my salt intake being in the way when I've waited so long to step on that foolish scale.
I'm also thinking about getting a new scale before the week is done. I've been reading up a bit and it seems that other people have trouble with their digital scales giving inaccurate readings as well. It's as though it will change by way of the position you're standing. I'm thinking that a good, old fashioned dial scale may be in order. I'm wondering how that will work with my record keeping to switch scales at this point. Thoughts?
Well, you know I LOVE me some Mcd's! Good job on eating the chicken and at least you only had a small fry! Not too bad.
ReplyDeleteAfa a scale - honestly, Tracy, we've had lots of different types of scales and they are always off. The only type that is truly accurate is a weighted scale like at the doctor's office. But I'm thinking if you weigh in at the same place (not moving the scale around from room to room or carpet to hard floor) I would think that you would at least get an accurate portrayal of how much you are losing. The actual weight may be off but the amount lost should be accurate. Who knows - just my VERY unporfessional opinion! LOL
Hope you are enjoying your day off!
