Day 31 - Crisis Averted and Staying on Track

Good Evening! The crisis was when the scale was giving me false numbers that made me feel as if all I was doing was for nothing. After the two tests that I did with it yesterday, I decided to try one more test this morning. What I found was that at ONE particular place, the scale would read 4 pounds heavier for me than another four locations where they weighed the lesser by four pounds - exactly, every time.

When I ran this test, and came up with the conclusion that there had in fact been a major issue, then I realized that I am still right on track, and exceeding my goals. That realization has even doubled my personal commitment to my goal!

This morning was my usual Raisin Bran Crunch, then out the door for a nail appointment. After getting my fingers and toes back in presentable order, off to T J Maxx I went. The objective was to find some dish towels that would compliment my pretty peacock plates. There were a couple of sets that fit the bill. It's such a delightful treasure hunt in there, I browsed around some. Their specialty food aisle has all sorts of wonderful delights: jams, jellies, caramel corn, Belgian chocolates, cookies, chips and so much more! Ahhh, but I had pretty towels to accent my Peacock Program kitchen, so I stayed on track and only purchased some decaf coffee! YAY!

And, here is my lunch! I stopped by for the chicken cobb salad, brought it home, and didn't get to it until 4:30, so basically it's my lunch and dinner. It's not supposed to be good to skip meals while on a weight loss program, but sometimes it just can't be helped.

I'm excited again and right on track.

And as to my shopping trip, I think I'm finally done with the Peacock shopping for my kitchen and dining area. After living in this house for 23 years, it was well overdue. The main goal, though of making this radical change to the kitchen contents is a constant reminder when I get to the kitchen that I am on a "dedicated" avenue toward weight loss. It really is a psychological thing to me, and my fingernails are even painted a pretty peacock blue.

Thanks go to those of you who are along for the ride by stopping by my blog. I sure appreciate seeing the page views and there are a couple of countries that I am absolutely sure that here is at least one person in these countries who are faithful. The most faithful of all is somebody in Germany. Whoever you are, it brightens my day when I see that you stop by for a page view each time I post.

Thanks so much! See you all tomorrow!
