Skinny ankles

Well this Wed started off good, like last wed my ankles were skinny this morning...I'm not losing a lot from my hips or waist but i am from my legs and chest and my ankles are skinnier and my shoes are getting loser.  My weight was 2 pounds less this am then on Sunday and I had to do some things that limited my chance to drink much and then i had to grab a quick lunch and made a sandwich with a thin and some lean lunch meat and thought.....a pickle or 2 would be good with this........light bulb...NOT.  Uh, thats how i got into trouble last week and until i am sure that one pickle will not roll down that hill and start an avalanche it's going to have to be none. Also no stir fry with soy yet and no hot dogs though after reading Allans blog a few minutes ago FF franks on 1/2 a thin with sauerkraut, sauteed onions, and mustard sure sounds good and its fine except for the salt and while in the past salt wasn't a problem for me, right now its turned out to be my "trigger",  "Achilles heel",  downfall or whatever.  Yes i am salting some foods, eating almonds with salt, and having some foods with salt in them, but i am avoiding large amounts.......instead i had a mixture of fz peaches, raspberries, ff yogurt, and NS granola.  I want the scale to show a better loss this week, I want the 3 pounds that my eating and the math says should be bringing me and i am weighing and measuring or using premade things that have cal counts on them.  I'm also drinking more plain water and will see what this week brings.

Thank you Laryssa

Thank you Laryssa for the award and I missed seeing it until I was checking to make sure I didn't miss anything.  My items are gonna be a bit of a take on yours and i hope you don't mind, but i thought it would be fun.
1. I was born in New York and lived there for the 1st 20 years of my life and while i have lived in Oklahoma for more years my accent is still NY and when i say i am from OK people give me funny looks.
2. I have been to Grand Central Station and got to walk through it when it was deserted due to an exploded water main in 2007,  very different from the other times i have been there and i too have taken the subway under it.
3. I'm was born a pisces and I don't think we should try to change this
4.I have read vampire books for years on and off and was in an off phase until L and T turned me 2 years ago.
5. I love reading books that are wound around crime themes but prefer fiction to true crime.
6. I love People and its the only mag of that type that i have a subscription to.
7. My dad was one of 4 brothers and all of them had heart attacks  and i  hope that losing this weight will prevent me for following in their footsteps.

Better

Today is better, not perfect but better. I was so bloated by last night that we looked around and found an old out of date diuretic and i took it.  It kicked in  and did help and by this morning i was at least some better and with rounding i have lost a pound.  I didn't end up with many cal yesterday as i ended up nauseated and couldn't eat the rest of my planned food.  Today i have gone back to eating a good mix of food and drink and i have had the expected bathroom breaks and my tummy is soft....could have played drums on it last night.  No more pigging out on pickles for me.  Guess i had to learn the hard way that a lot of salt with all this water is a problem for me.  Doing my ex and reading blogs, football was on earlier and now the golden globes.
