Day 6/P5 40 pounds!!!

Today I passed 40 pounds. It's been almost 3 years since I last weighed this and with one more pound i will equal the low point of my last at all successful try. That one got derailed when my cat unexpectedly died and I turned to comfort foods......I now accept that the food will not make any bad things better and I hope that I have some control of the emotional eating.  I rewarded myself for this milestone which i consider a big one by eating on program and thinking about buying a glider. I'll see how Karen likes hers but i need a non-impact cardio other than my bike. My right knee with the torn meniscus and messed up ligament has been aching all day....glad its rest day and if it's not better I will do ST tomorrow and rest it a bit longer.  I think the walk/jog is out for good, i may be able to walk a bit when it calms down but i will go back to biking first.
Today I did day 5 fp. Went ahead and got the pizza from the local Italian rest so the crust was so much better. Now I have to look at left overs in the ref. I did like today with egg and wholewheat eng muffin. I have been getting hungry after lunch so may have to eat dinner earlier or if there is salad my have to eat part earlier. I want to try staying as close to the layout  as i can for another week before  i move some of the food around a bit...will try to keep the day the same but may move some salad to lunch and decrease the amount at dinner....or may add a salad to lunch without any dressing to bulk it up a bit....but this was more salad at dinner than i really wanted but i was so hungry that i inhaled the 1st half which i don't like to do.
Fish is going to a problem until i can shop in the city. I have now been to all 3 stores in town, one only had breaded fish, and the other 2 have van camps pkg with sauce and seasoning....i decided to go with the blackened seasoning which had a reasonable cal count so i can do one of those days.  Also i made sp sauce last week but decided to just buy some....the best with no junk on the list was $9 a bottle so decided on a brand I've had before for $2.  I drove my spouse crazy looking at 20 different jars and then after deciding which one i wanted looked at the price and changed my mind......I felt like consumers reports...this is a best buy and will hopefully taste fine.  Picked up some sweet potatoes and more tuna and salad stuff.
Looking forward to seeing how everyone did.....group success is a blast.

Hi, dear. I think my glider will be here tomorrow or Tuesday at the latest I will come by and let you know how I like it. I fully expect to love it and the more jogging I do on Allan'e exercise plan the more sure I am that I need the low impact. The jogging is really getting me in my hips. :)
