HI there, glad I stopped back by.oolala53 wrote:Chips and salsa are S's for you?
but it IS 140 something...... But worth it. And I need the salt, blood pressure is very low. Yesteday it was 94/58. Think I might expand on the chips and salsa this time. ) ) (Now I've gona and jinxed it - will weigh 159 tomorrow.....) It was after eleven before I got done with the bubble bath, etc. First day I have missed all month but nothing I could do about it. So he told me to take the rest to work today, I probably will because I do everything I am told. honest but they said that I didn't have the flu - I just had some sort of virus and was probably dehydrated. THe others at work had been very ill so I wasn't surprised to hear that. I was fine but promised the EMT's that I would see my regular doctor the next day. Which I did - once I explained a lifelong history of fainting, etc. they said for me to just be careful to stay hydrated, get enough rest, blah blah blah. . So, didn't want a salad then. Came home and ate a giant plate of cucumbers and tomatoes sprinkled with croutons and olive olive/balsamic vinegar and fresh oregano and basil from my son's garden. YUMMM. of course... Still have lots of fresh tomatoes so that's a good thing. (My ode to Martha) ) Also will have some fresh plums and sliced tomatoes throughout the day. Need to get a lot of salad fixings.
) Seriously, though, I look more than I shop. He pointed me to the fresco menu, or something like that. I got a plain bean burrito and water. It was okay. I love Mexican food but only at a real restaurant where I can have salads or a chalupa or something. Then I ate a bowl of homemade chicken rice soup. Which he does. if they would have just let him goooooo. ) and some fresh plums. Drank some hot peppermin tea as the office was pretty cold. Ate a huge salad for dinner, very filling. Bought the hubby some fried chicken legs at the deli and made him some macaroni and cheese. I ate neither of those but he will be eating the leftovers for lunch. ) 
) I tell him that it will be his fault that while people on here are posting about picking fresh arugula from their penthouse gardens and flying in raspberries from Argentina - sprinkling both over their chunks of goat cheese garnered from livestock roaming the mountainsides of Brazil with a few pomegranate seeds as garnish along side a bit of biscotti for crunch - I will be talking about canned chicken and dumplngs. Foraged through the fridge and freezer at work, found some grapes and a Smart Ones (Or one of those brands) frozen meal, can't even describe what it was, something to do with rice and glazed vegetables and perhaps an apple type dessert. It was better than fainting but certainly not worth 440 calories, I could have eaten a lot of fresh food for that. 
) I was told by a few people in the waiting room that I had gotten too thin - and have been told by my husband daily.... One would not think that this weight at 5 foot 5 would be thin at all but I do exercise a lot and my clothes have gotten very losse. It was fine. She would love to work part time but cannot do so right now financially. I already paid my dues, working sixty hour weeks for decades. Time to relax. ) And, after all, french fires ARE potaotes which ARE vegetables (oh yeah, and they are fried in fat) Also ate a slice or two of amaretto soaked poundcake I also bought (hubby's birthday today but we are celebrating next Thursday with friends due to schedule conflict). So we will probably have pizza tonight as is our usual Friday routine and have some yummy dessert.
