I weighed myself this morning lost 2 pounds! down to 161! :)

I stuffed myself with water yesterday and I think it helped me process the carbs I ate on vacation "carbo-HYDRATE" they make you hold on to a ton of water and bloat. plus i ate a lot of salty snacks like jerky and pretzels and sesame bars on the trip that jil had bought for backpacking. so I had to drink so many glasses of water to flush all of that salt out of my body and reduce the bloat. it didn't help that i am PMS ing right now too so the peak in anti-diuretic hormone is also making me hold onto water. drinking all the water i can stand will help me not bloat. it sounds anti-intuitive but it's true.

so now i am just going to focus on doing my own grocery shopping, cutting back on the salt to help with bloat, drinking a TON of water, getting exercise, doing my gardening at my house, keeping my bauhinia alive, and taking care of my yard, thinking about getting a new psychiatrist, cleaning my house, keeping my kitchen clean (this is part of losing weight)

i went out on a "date" sort of with this guy orion... we got tea after dance class. it was pretty fun. but stressful.

anyways my plan for today is...

yoga class at 8:45... i have an appt with jennifer at 11:30 but i am going to talk to her because i made an appt with a new psychiatrist on the 18th, so i have to bring that up with her...

then a walk on westcliff later or i might go to the gym on 41st that lea gave me a trial membership for. it is kind of cloudy now if the weather stays like this it might be nice to work out in the gym.

I could go in the steam room and the sauna and really squeeze out the rest of the salt.

anyways...

best of luck in losing weight! keep on posting....

and exercising.
