Japanese

It was the quietest Sunday that we've spent in a very long time. A spa-day of a sort. Relaxing, not even thinking about too much, reading the paper, sitting with a cat on my lap, taking a nap...

Saturday night we went out to a Japanese restaurant, Kawa (in Grayslake), with Phil and Diane and had a great time. We enjoyed so many wonderfully healthy dishes and brought our own wine. We also sampled some sake that was divine.

In the Japanese mood, I made Udon for dinner tonight. Japanese wheat noodles in chicken broth with green onions, an assortment of different mushrooms, water chestnuts, shrimp, tofu and red, white and black pepper.

I can feel that the weight is coming off and am very happy about this. I've lost all of the weight I gained eating comfort food after Dolores died, and then some. I started out 6 months ago at 199.5, lost very little weight, then gained. Now, in a matter of 10 days, I'm down to 198.5 on this new diet and I feel great. I see Dr. M. again on Thursday. I know she will adjust my Metformin because my blood sugars are a little high, but that's ok. It will only make me feel better.

Must get some beauty sleep now for tomorrow we exercise!
