After the service the family retired to our house for some relaxing chit chat, a little lunch, and (for the kids) some much needed "cousin time."
I did another weigh-in this morning. For the past two days, my weight's been going in the wrong direction. Still, the illness really took a lot out of me, and I'd lost six pounds in a week. With the gains of the past two days, I'm still down four pounds. I think my body is waking up from the illness and soaking up energy into its depleted reserves. I'm sticking with the plan, and maintaining faith that I'm doing the right things to bring my weight down to a healthy level. Of course, the strawberry short cake at today's celebration isn't really "to plan," but it's a special occasion and I'm feeling celebratory.
Food log:
Breakfast: a bowl of granola, milk, lots of strawberries.
Lunch: Half a turkey-and-havarti sandwich with lettuce, tomato, a little mayo and some Dijon. Six crackers loaded with cream cheese and raspberry chiptole sauce, a small serving of strawberry short cake (1/2" slice of pound cake, about 1/3c macerated strawberries, and 2tbsp whipped cream).
Dinner: a large salad at Soup Plantation
