I must say, I am glad I cheated on my diet yesterday. Why? Because today, when I woke up, I did not have a headache. Because yesterday I realized exactly how low my potassium levels had become. And because today when I fearfully stepped on the scale, I was pleasantly surprised that weight had not changed. Nothing I did damaged the progress I had made. So yes, I am happy that I cheated on my diet and the next time I feel I am in need of a cheat day, I will not fear it or feel guilty about it.
After a VERY GOOD nights sleep, I woke up and had my normal coffee. I didn’t eat anything until after 11am. At that time I had a brunch consisting of bacon and scrambled eggs with spinach, mushrooms, and onions topped with hot sauce. And I couldn’t eat it all!!! A stayed full for the remainder of the day.
Around 6 I was a little hungry so I fixed a plate of shredded chicken, cheese cubes, olives stuffed with garlic, cucumbers, Parmesean cheese whisps, and ranch dressing for dipping. I ate all of the olives and some of the cheese cubes, a few of the whisps, and just a little bit of the cheese. Once I was full, that was it.
I also realized that today is the beginning of the tax free weekend in Texas. So, I decided to check out Old Navy and Steinmart to see if there was anything I couldn’t live without or that I need for the cruise. I guess only time will tell if I purchased anything!!!
Tomorrow my little Yorkie rescue, Dixie turns 4. At least that is the age that is shown on the papers we received. But our vet thinks she might actually be older due to her health issues. But that’s ok. I do not care how old she is, we will celebrate her birthday by taking her to Petsmart for a new collar and maybe a new shirt or dress and a special birthday treat. She deserves to be spoiled on her special day. Not that she isn’t spoiled any other day, LOL!
