Monday Morning Weigh In
This weekend we had our annual BBQ and we were also celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary. We had a TON of food, and I ate a lot and really enjoyed myself. I made a really great sweet potato salad with my own homemade mayonnaise. I made the mayonnaise with macadamia oil so it would have a sweeter, more delicate flavor. It was very good. And I made a boss-level fruit salad with fresh pineapple, watermelon, blueberries and fresh coconut shavings, and a really nice green salad with spinach, arugula, avocado, cucumber, tomato, and marcona almonds; I dressed it with EVOO and fresh lemon juice. So good. And then there were taro chips, and donut peaches, and some sugar-free chocolate from Wockenfuss. So there was quite a lot of eating. I stayed 100% on my Paleo groove, but there was a LOT of eating. (Okay, the taro chips have canola oil, I confess.)
So I was not especially optimistic about my weigh-in this morning. SURPRISE!!! I lost a whole pound, down to 134. What can I say about that except, thank you Bikram!
Needless to say, I hauled my ass right back to Bikram today. It was even more hot and sweaty than last time, because this bitch would not even turn on the damn fans. GOD but it was sweaty. Rivers of sweat just running down my arms and legs. Amazing. I was sort of woozy afterward. Had to walk really slowly back to my car, that’s for sure. It was just as nutty as last time. Fun stuff!
Ate the last of that salad for my lunch today, topped with some leftover taco meat. So full now. Heck yeah.
Next week, my husband and I will be going to Las Vegas to more thoroughly celebrate our massive achievement of 20 years of marital harmony. Already planning out my meals and exercise schedule, LOL so anal-retentive. I actually picked the casino, the Cosmopolitan, because they have yoga classes at the health club in the hotel, so I don’t need to miss yoga. I am such an addict.
This one’s for you, @vinyasatovino!! You have earned the jealousy as you saw on the bus. Now it’s time to take a page from Arnold’s book and let yourself bask in it. Perhaps even with a certain amount of smugness? Heck yeah.
