I moped around in a funk all day. I had replied to a newbie post and instead of being helpful, as I intended, I apparently really offended the poster.
I wish I didn't let things like that bother me so much, but they do. Anyway, I vowed that I will leave the newbie's questions to people who aren't so direct and have better (more gentle) teaching skills.
Then we went shopping. I needed to get some new pajamas for a pajama party Friday (imagine--a pajama party at 60 years old!) Unfortunately, the only ones I liked were a lot more expensive than I wanted to spend on something I (hopefully) can't wear much longer. But I really want to go to the party, so I bit the bullet and bought them.
I also got a really nice new shoulder bag (that I can still use when I am thin), so that helped a little.
But I was also very bloated today... probably due to over-exercising and the stressed muscles retaining water. I started having those "I'm never going to lose the weight" thoughts, but refused to follow that train of thought.
Then we went Atkins grocery shopping and I got the ingredients for Linda's low carb taco salad.
It took a while to put it together as I had to make the seasoning mix and the guacamole. But WOW!!!!!!! Was it ever worth it. It was delicious--and non-dieting hubby thought so, too!!!
That lifted my spirits back to normal, and it sure does feel good to feel good again!
I am beginning to acknowledge that I am one of those people who will lose weight very slowly on the program. After my weigh-in Saturday morning I will re-evaluate my food choices. I am hoping that I don't have to cut out cream, cream cheese and cheese, but will cross that bridge when I come to it.
