Losing a part of me

It was only yesterday that I wrote that the weight that I was up since last week’s best would come off soon enough. I was in utter shock to see that it was today! Yes, I stepped onto the bathroom scale this morning and to my complete shock I weigh 4.8 lbs. less than I did yesterday morning! All this, despite my having eaten pretty well yesterday.

I had my regular omelette for breakfast, but then for lunch Leslie and I decided to share a pizza. It was delicious, but I was expecting that I would be paying for it. For dinner I prepared a lovely piece of salmon with a side of white rice. Combining the carbs in the pizza dough and the starch in the rice, plus three drinks (two glasses of ice wine and one of rum) … let’s just say I felt I would be happy if I could just stay even.

With that said, I did pee a lot yesterday… much more than my fluid intake would have called for. Remember all of that sodium that I had on Friday when I was not allowed to eat solid foods? I assume that the water I was retaining was no longer retaining. I joked at one point that I might actually lose five pounds from all that urine. I was not far off the mark!

I am not sure what our dinner plans are, but for lunch I am preparing salmon sandwiches. We decided to splurge on the bread again before I realized how much weight I lost, but at the same time I will not feel as guilty as I might have.

It is a lovely day outside and I suspect we will spend some of the day on the balcony… after her meetings are done.

Have a great day folks!
