Friday night, we celebrated my birthday at Shogun...I ordered salmon. It was great, but the chef gave me too much fried rice, which is my favorite, and I ate too much of it. I had leftovers of rice and salmon, but still I ate too much.

Saturday I weighed 2 1/2 pounds more than Friday. Sooo, I walked 2 miles, did the EM for 25!!! minutes, and did some weights. Today I'm 1 pound down, but while I was at church, I started...and I'm pretty sure that's a little early. I hadn't even been moody or cranky. Hmmm. So, I'm convinced it wasn't all my fault that I gained 2 1/2 pounds.

I did the EM for 22 minutes this morning...I had quit because of time. And I just got back from a 2.7 mile walk. We had a brunch buffet with my husbands family and my parents before our 2:00 service. I was so upset about the gain that I was probably overly cautious. My sweet nephew (24 yo) 'bout lost his eyes when I walked in. He was amazed at my size. He is a bar tender at our Olive Garden, which is another favorite of mine, so he had wondered why we hadn't been coming in. I got so many compliments from my hubby siblings and nieces and nephews. It was great. My dad would say that's vanity, and he's probably right, but it did feel good.
