Rain, Rain, Go Away.......

I like rain, but in the desert it's usually no rain or flash floods. And when those darn clouds start building so does the humidity and that's what we got today. I'd rather have 108 and 7% humidity than our 98 degrees and 30% humidity. Oh well, at least I lose more weight this time of year by sweating more in this humidity.

I think this ear thing is finally getting better. Still lingering, but not quite as bad. So hopefully in the next day or so it will be gone.

NS has been good today, I ate out for breakfast like I usually do on Wednesday but I stay true : egg white omelette with one tspn of guacamole, skinless chicken breast and 8 oz of oatmeal.

Lunch was two of the NS turkey dogs on whole wheat bread with some mustard and onions. Some left over stir fry veggies from last night.

Not sure what dinner will be yet.

I did go to the grocery store today, got some veggies and fruit. Also got some V8 juice which I hear a lot of NS people substitute for the veggies. Sounds good some times.. I also got some light Ruby Red grapefruit juice. It's only 50 calories per 8 oz which will replace one of my fruits per day and works out perfectly. One of my health magazines said that drinking that particular kind of grapefruit juice actually helps with weight loss. And I can use all the help I can get. So I will replace one fruit serving a day with it.

Well, ok, here's the bad news.. I've been weighing myself with a old mechanical scale I've had for years since my digital scale batteries were dead. When I started NS I listed my weight at 440. Got my new batteries and I actually came in at 11 pounds more with the digital scale. I weighed myself on the mechanical scale and then the digital scale - 11lbs more on the digital. And i know the digital scale is acccurate since in the past it has been right on with the doctor's digital scale.

So I'm upping all my figures by 11 pounds. The good news is that figuring this all in, I've lost 10 pounds since my last weigh in since I was 411 today. So as long as I'm losing I'm happy.
