Off Day

Yesterday was a very "off" day for me and I don't mean off of my diet, just not right. I took Kaite to the dermatologist and what I thought would be only a 1/2 hour visit turned into 2 1/2 hours. Afterwards she and I were both hungry so we went to a coney island for something to eat. Now a coney is not the best place to go when you are trying to eat healthy. I did fairly well and by that I mean I ate 1/2 of my chicken pita (the chicken was breaded and with cheese) and only 7 fries, yep I counted them. The whole thing just threw me off balance. I learned though it was because I had not planned. Planned for being away that long and bringing along a snack or drinking more water. Now I know that I must always carry something with me. To date I've lost 8 lbs YEAH!! It's coming off slowly but none the less it is coming off. It averages out to 4 lbs a week right now. Blood pressure has been holding steady in the 110/72 area very well for me. I have a doctors appointment in a few weeks with my family physician so I am excited to show her my journal with my progress, hopefully she'll reduce my blood pressure medicine since she increased it a few months ago. We'll have to wait and see.
