I have sorely neglected my postings this week. so much happening in family life...things got away from me. I had my second weigh in last Thurs, lost 3 1/2! I was happy, yet kinda dissappointed that it wasn't more. i was soo motivated. It's been pretty downhill since then. Actually, I know I've done better than that sounds. It's just that I've eaten out several times in the last week, so that always throws a curve into the plans.
I had a great day Saturday. Went to the St. Louis Soulard Farmers Market. This market has een here forever, in a quaint neighborhood in St. Louis. Kind of reminded me of Arlington ,VA.
Anyways, me and the hubby went to check it out for our first visit since last summer. The place was packed with people and vendors selling everything from bedding plants to meats, bakery items and of course fruit and vegetables. I'm still kicking myself that I didn't bring my
camera..It would be so cool to post some pictures here. We decided to get some tomato and green pepper plants, along with some fresh herbs. I bought dill, thyme, oregano, two kinds of basil and some rosemary. We planted them in containers, to 1) avoid digging and hard manual labor, and 2) we have three dogs. (You know what dogs will do!) Since I am reeducating myself on how to eat and cook, I thought having fresh herbs would be interesting to try.
We went to a great place for lunch..an Irish pub called McGurks. They have an absolutely beautiful outdoor patio and garden with fountains, and a waterfall and pond filled with Koi fish. Perfect setting, sunny day, a great guy with me, and I choose the most awful choice for lunch. The food was great, don't get me wrong, but I ordered a Reuben. I love those things. But the fat, the cheese, the fat!! I ate 3/4 of it. I restrained myself from the last 1/4. Interestingly, I didn't beat myself up too much on that choice. I enjoyed it, but got back on the wagon after.
I just hope I still lose a pound or two when I weigh tomorrow. Ooops, the old man is home, I've got to feed him. Be back later.
