Casual Friday's
I walk out and catch a look of myself from the corner of my eye in the bathroom mirror. I’m thin! My big fat stomach is almost gone, and I’m starting to look for like I used to. I ask Allen if it would be appropriate, since it is Casual Friday, to just wear shoes to work so everyone can see how skinny I’m getting. “You can if you want and I will come visit you in jail,” is his sardonic response. OK, I will wear jeans and a shirt; but, I will wear my skinny ‘gay’ shirt; although I’m not quite ready for my skinny jeans.
Weight Watchers is work, but I have learned a lot about eating three to four times a day and being aware of my portion sizes. I used to skip breakfast and lunch and then eat and drink like a pig for dinner. I don’t have chocolate every day anymore, and I don’t have eggs all the time. I eat a huge amount more vegetables; cut-up, pre-washed veggies in a bag from HEB is my new Best Friend. I make the best dang Curried Brown Rice evah! My sandwiches drip with green and red, yet still contain a very modest amount of strong-flavored cheese (I have been using Danish Blue), and only 2 slices of meat. I never used to eat bread, yet I have discovered the yummy joy that is whole-wheat hot dog buns; I eat just about everything stuffed into those little yummy buns.
5 more pounds and I’m going to have to buy myself a pair of Aussie Bum knickers.
In other news, I am very sad to learn the JP’s dog Wendy passed away; she was a great BIG sweet dog and I know she is missed.
