Just got some good news. I was about to get in the shower and thought why not weigh myself. But I couldn't read it without the glasses. Came back and it reads 185. I weighed 187 the last time I checked when I think I reported it here in this thread, but that was probably a couple weeks ago. Here I didn't feel like I was doing so well. I'll take it.
One thing that is helping me maintain is never overeating. I'm always controlling portions. I measure out a cup of oatmeal in the morning and never cook more than a quarter pound apiece of any kind of meat. In fact the last two days I had pasta three times - dinner the first day and then both lunch and dinner the next day. The place next door makes their own fresh pasta and don't even cut it up until you tell them what type you want. They also make their own sauces and our favorite is the olive tapenade which they make with kalamatas. That shit is so good you can mix the tiny container it comes into an entire pound of the pasta and the flavor is still great.
Between that and getting an afternoon pastry with coffee most days lately I figured I would be screwed at the weigh in but nope. Lia says it's probably because I've been doing so much physical work in the garden lately. I think she is right.
