Long Time No Bloggy

Ahem - Miss Late Blogger here.

Two things have kept me away.

1) Fun in Life

2) Scale Frustrations

I will start with #1.

Life has been great. Weather is amazing, friends have been visiting from Michigan and we get to play tourist often when people come into town.

Saturday we went to L0ng B0at Key.  We spent time at the pool and went to a restaurant with them for a very expensive dinner which should have been foodie heaven.  Instead, every course I kept saying to myself I can cook better. Disappointing but at least the company was fantastic.

Sunday we woke up early and went on the boat. I was able to get a nice base tan and relax. I packed smart food accordingly but I admit I had too many cheese calories.

Sunday evening with the Evening with Anthony B ourdain and C hef Eric R!pert.  Good Gawd, Gorgeous those two.  Oof.  It was a really fun evening.

We started at a spot called Taps.  It has 3 walls of wine on tap and you can make your own flights or have full pours. They also had a really nice tapas menu. We ordered two tapas and I barely ate but I did partake in 2 glasses of wine pre-show. 

After the show, we all regrouped and went back since it was across the street from the Performing Arts Center and we didn't all want to move our cars.

More wine - More tapas. LeSigh! 

This brings me to # 2

Today - So So So back on the good girl wagon. However, my first fill didn't really do much and I can still eat too large a portion and I don't have to chew like a Bandster. That's how I know it hasn't helped.  I can eat exactly like I did previously but I choose not to.

I do get full easier but there is zero restriction.  Z-E-R-O. I hate dieting.

So today -
Late Brekkie:  2 poached eggs, Turkey Bacon
Lunch: Nada since Brekkie was late
Dinner:  3 oz of Grilled Mahi Mahi, Roasted Brussel Sprouts, Roasted kale, Spinach Salad with Strawberries and goat cheese
Snack:  Skim Milk & Protein bar

Under calories, low fat, met my protein, low carb.

I have been active and working out and walking but not in a gym. Maybe I need to do so.

I booked another fill. I am scheduled for late April but decided to book for Monday.

I am heading to D Isney W0rld on Thursday and didn't want to be on liquids and get stuck while there.  I am just heading up on Wed evening, staying in my parents condo they booked and then hanging at the park on Thursday and maybe Friday.  I am hoping to get a TON of steps in.

It looks like everyone is having much better scale outcomes than I am so I am happy for everyone. I am hoping mine cooperates SOON!!!!
