The scale this morning, at first it said 175 and I freaked out. but then I readjusted the scale and I weighed 172.8. Down 7 pounds in 4 weeks.

whew.
Since I still feel and look so pregnant I can't tell that I am losing weight.
I only have these numbers to go by.
I really wish I could remember what I weighed at Dr. Orazio's office 3 months ago. Guess I will find out on wednesday. I have been yo yoing for months.
My top weight in november was 186.

I survived another night at trivia with out drinking. yes, getting easier to just say no thank you I will have water no ice please.
I ate a healthy spinach chicken salad off the salad bar at whole foods. I topped it with some tomato basil soup (instead of dressing)then microwaved it and was delicious! The chicken had a little breading on it but was baked.

I am still trying to follow a low carb diet. Not counting anything just being careful with portion sizes. Still doing intermitant fasting only eating lunch and dinner no breakfast and nothing to eat after dinner. I have not been hungry.
I am taking a fat burner supplement with my pdocs blessing of course. She wanted to know what supplements I was taking. Don't want anything new to interact with my psych meds.
The Aspen weight loss clinic paperwork that I filled out prior to my appointment in July stated that certain people could not take the appetite suppressant. I called to cancel my appointment when I read that. She said that she would confer with her doctor and get back to me. They have other people who are bipolar on the program. If I can't get the suppressant then I won't do the program.

I will find out on Monday.

Today I get my hair colored at aveda beauty school. It is just a root touch up and should not take too too long. I think I will also ask for a trim. I like the gal I have for right now, I think I can have her again 2 more times before she graduates and then I will have some one new. That is how beauty schools work, just when you get to know some one they are gone and you get some one new.
I have been going there for 15 years.

This evening Jeff is playing a gig. The sky liners have their dances every other month. Think big band 40's music, 25 piece band with a jazz singer.

I have been several times before but don't go usually because they play all of the same music each time.

This evening I will go to a bridal shower for our friend who is the bar tender at whole foods. Last night We went to target after leaving trivia because we were playing terribly, we left early.
She registered at target so we picked out a gift for them. A powder buff blue/teal colored tea pot from their registry. I realized I did not have any wrapping paper so ran to the dollar tree for some foil paper which was difficult to wrap. I also picked up 16 foaming soap items because they are hard to find and I refuse to spend $3 for them at the regular stores. It is rare to find these so I snatched up all of them that they had.
Last month I spent a lot of money for refill bottles of dial foaming soap from amazon because our health food store no longer carries them. It was ridiculous what I spent for those 3 refill bottles.
I saw Melanie at trivia, the hostess of the party today. And told her that I was dieting and she reassured me there would be plenty of food to eat following a low carb diet.
I just need to make sure that I don't over eat.
Even though I am not counting carbs and such. I know that it is calories in and out that need to be watched. So portion control is number one goal for me tonight. The party starts at 6pm. There will be wine there but I am not a wine drinker so that is good. Hope my social anxiety does not rear its ugly head. There will be people that I don't know there....

Thank you for reading and I hope that you have a nice weekend!
