Day 17 - Hanging Strong

Weight = 269

My daily weigh-in showed that I didn't lose any weight but I didn't gain any. That in itself is actually a good thing especially since we ate at Olive Garden. I did choose very well and got grilled shrimp with a red sauce. I knew that I should stay away from the creamy stuff. I also had one plain breadstick and of course salad. It was quite delicious but the shrimp w red sauce was quite spicy. A special thanks to Jessica for sharing the virtual model website. I have linked her blog and the virtual model website to my blog... check it out!

Mom was up very early this morning (5:30). I got her some breakfast and got her changed and she is now back asleep at about 9:30. Between her and my sister's two geratric cats I have had my fill of "poopage." Do they make diapers for cats? Hmmmm ... might have to research that online. LOL!

My older son, who is here with me will be going to Cedar Point today with my neice and her husband. He is so anxious after driving by the park yesterday. He is a roller coaster freak and that is a park that is slam-full of roller coasters.

I sure do miss my younger son. He is still back in Florida practicing for his state baseball tournament. I will see him in a little over a week. I am sure that time will crawl until then. We aren't sure if we are going to drive or fly to Florida for the tournament. We'll see when the time comes. My neice says that we can get pretty inexpensive flights from Columbus to Pensacola on some small airlines. Like I said, "We'll see ... LOL!

It is now the end of the day and I have been so good today. I was very diligent when my sister brought home what she called a BAP (Big A$$ Pizza) and my son (bless his heart) brought me home an elephant ear from Cedar Point. I told my sister to say that I ate some when he was in the bathroom but (as much as I wanted to) I did not even have a sniff. I made my homemade alli-friendly soup made out of 98% fat free chicken broth, a small boneless / skinless chicken breast, tons of celery and a few noodles. I ate this for both lunch and dinner. I did have a weight watchers ice cream sandwich following dinner for dessert. All total I had about 1300 calories and 31 grams of fat today. If I gain another pound tomorrow, it will be very hard for me to not give up and just eat what I want after being so strong.
