I lost 1 LB - whoo hoo
I decided to weigh myself this morning (even though Shelly and I said our weigh in date is Wed) and I was pleasantly surprised to see that I lost a lb.
Since coming back from India - I gained the 6 I lost there PLUS 3! So, I really am trying to lose 10 lbs (and I would actually love to lose 14 - but that's pushing it for me).

Re: Indian Food
ChipAway and Shaker,
I'm gonna need help from the other brownies on this, coz I'm not so much of a cook, but here are the basic rules of thumb -
- Any creamy sauce is probably not good. :) - Just like with pasta. Often they have names like shahi and makhani (translation - royal and buttery), so that's a hint too.
- Paneer is the Indian version of cheese. So it tastes wonderful, and I'm known to go overboard with it, but less is more for the WorkoutGirls, if you know what I mean.
- Naan is the great bread! Like a pita bread, but softer. Its goood! :)
- Most South Indian food is healthy. LoR's recent breakfast - they're called idlis are like rice dumplings (don't know a better way to describe them) are mild flavoured, and the stew served with it (sambar) is chok full of good veggies and lentils. Good and good for you!
I'm too scared to contemplate caloric values of Indian desserts! I love them, but man, they're really sweet (read full of calories).
There's my input. :)

Wednesday 5/31
Exercise - I tried to get up this AM but slept horribly due to the heat (my home is like an oven). Will try to walk after dinner with wilson girls.
Breakfast - nothing. I know that is bad - i brought yogurt but wasn't hungry and didn't have a taste for it. I did have 3 cups of java! Not great I know!
Meal 2 - nothing
Meal 3 (lunch) salad that I made - includes the following: spinach salad, 1 half an egg, chic peas, peanuts, raisins, alfalfa, cucumber, peppercino peppers, jalapeno and topped with fat free dijon dressing (just a tad).
Snack - a bag of baked lays (so good without the guilt) and a diet coke.
Tonite I am going to dinner with Wilson girls. so I'm allowing myself a margarita. My goal is to get the grilled tuna salad which is DELICIOUS and eat only half. I am also going to allow myself 4 tortilla chips dipped in salsa. I hope I can stop at 4. I will report back later.
I did good at tonite's dinner. I had only 2 chips! Unfortunately I did eat all of my grilled tuna but I'm still happy about the chips. The grilled tuna consisted of:
Grilled tuna (ha)
Spring salad
feta cheese
avacodo slices
roasted red peppers
It's delich.
Also had a cup of coffee.
Did not eat after 8:00. YIPPEE
