I ate a lot of leftover turkey yesterday. Because of that I was not surprised when I stepped onto the bathroom scale yesterday evening to see that I was four pounds heavier than I was in the morning. I woke up this morning and did my bathroom ritual, and before I stepped onto the scale I hoped that I would not be more than two pounds heavier than yesterday. It was the salt that worried me more than the quantity – although they were really neck and neck concerns.
My weight dropped 1.2 lbs. from yesterday. While I am still 1.2 lbs. heavier than I was two days ago, I dropped fully half of what I gained during the Tuesday binge night. I will take that as a win. This evening will not be another binge night, although I will eat at Lodge and I will try to do so much more carefully than I did Tuesday.
Yes, I have another Lodge to visit this evening, and I am torn about it. On the one hand, I am always happy visiting different lodges – this will be my second visit to this particular one. On the other hand, Montreal is playing Boston this evening, and that is a very important hockey game! I will keep my phone on the seat next to me… as I have these last few games for which I had Lodge conflicts.
I plan to spend the afternoon at my cigar lounge studying again today. Hopefully by the end of next week I will be ready to sit the exam.
Have a great day folks!
