Cottage Cheese and Strawberries with Cinnamon for breakfast, lunch was a plain lettuce salad with my Asian dressing. One of my experiments was gonna be beer and chips and salsa, but I opted only for the beer and salsa, couldn't being myself to eat the chips, just didn't want them.

Short Update

Well, as stated before, I was totally prepared to try Chips, Salsa and Beer last night for dinner. I made the salsa, and after making it I was like, um, I just want the salsa and beer, forget the chips, so that is what I did! So guess what? I had an extra beer instead! ROFL

Definitely didn't get enough protein in - that will be rectified today. I totally figured the one pounder is the effect of the alcohol, and I will be quite surprised if I don't get a bounce back of some sort tomorrow.

Today, I will be experimenting in mixing proteins. I plan on having some eggs with a bit of leftover steak - let's see what happens!

Day 19 (Complete) - Round 2 = 7.93% Body Weight Loss
Day 19 (Complete) - Round 1 = 7.42% Body Weight Loss

Some have inquired about my pics and such. I know, I have fallen by the wayside on that. I used to be so diligent with measuring and picture taking. Since I am doing the short rounds now tho, I figure just ending shots and measurements are called for. So count on them one week from today, the 17th, as that will be my LIW for the round.

Also, I owe Monica and Cathy little gifts for the contest on guessing when I got below LIW - I haven't forgotten you gals, just been busy this week with my friends passing. Also, there are other gifts I owe people for the questionnaire questions - I haven't forgotten about them either! All in time people, all in time.

Update on My Sister

My sister had her cornea transplant surgery on the 7th. She is doing just fine. The doctor said he was very pleased with the results. In fact, she had to go back to the doctor the day after the surgery, and by chance she couldn't see HER doctor for the check up and so another one looked at the graft, and he said, GOOD GRAFT! That made her feel really good. She is supposed to be laying flat on her back for a few days, and already she is going stir crazy! Yup, that is my sister!

Update on JPS

She had a rough week - Aunt Flo's visit always plays havoc with her losses, so today she is only at 145.8 - but it's picking up now! She is loving the cottage cheese addition to her menus.

On to my commenter's - these are my responses to yesterday's comments:

Mary - HA! You are too funny! I hope you enjoy all those things, but most of all, I hope it doesn't cause you any stalls or gains!

Ed & Jenn - HA! I really did try to party with you virtually, but I just couldn't bring myself to eat the chips. I don't know why??? But I did have 3 beers, COUNTEM 3 BEERS!

Mary Lou - thanks for that link, I had seen it before, but it's still just as priceless as the first time! LOL - Thank you for the kind words also. Don't be a stranger!

Lili - HA! My middle son got his mouth washed out with soap once for a doozie. After we told him he shouldn't say it, he just thought it was the funniest thing to KEEP doing it. Well, he learned fast! ROFL How you feeling sweetie?
