Day 17 & 18...

 This morning was 177.6 or 177.4?  Whatever, there was a 177 in it!  And that was after a day out:

Breakfast yesterday was cereal with blueberries and an English muffin with spread.

Then went riding.  After that, I headed North to Grantham.

Stopped at my favorite rest stop and bought a probiotic soda (40 cals) and a bag of potato chips (300 cals).

Visited with my parents and had THE most amazing desert, lemon pudding cake made in ramekins with blueberries on top.  SO good.  Died-and-gone-to-heaven good.  My parents seemed to be doing "fine" for the shape they're in.  Dad is even driving himself to his medical appointments -- a 17-minute drive each way.  Mom is doing some PT which is awesome.  And they're getting house cleaning help through either the VA or the VNA.

Split a black cherry soda with my mother.

Then, headed South and had supper at Panera with my aunt and uncle -- Happy Birthday, Aunt Marge!  I ate an ENTIRE bacon turkey bravo sandwich because YUMMM.  And lemonade.  

And that was IT.  I stopped!  Yay!

This morning was a Kind bar (190 cals).  Started on my vitamins, etc. early with fizzy water.

Then, to celebrate my boss's birthday, there were cinnamon rolls.   Lunch is going to be grilled meat.  I will joyously participate in THAT!  I have a Picky Bar with me, but I've just tossed it in a drawer.  Let's try to NOT eat that.

Pedicure later with my friend and her mom.  Which is good because I have some sort of a sore on the bottom of my foot from my dog walk this morning wearing boots and bad-for-boots socks.  I've done 7,974 steps today!

So, lunch was a sausage, some marinated chicken and marinated beef.  A little of each, plus a slice of bread with butter.  SO good.

Planning on a vegetarian version of Beef Stroganoff for supper.

So the stroganoff was yummy although John wasn't a fan of the particular fake grounds.  I think he likes the Impossible Beef but not the Beyond Beef.  Otherwise, it was loaded with mushrooms and the sauce was fabulous.

And I should've stopped there, but I had a dish of ice cream.  IT WAS THERE!
