Health Report - Day 23

Okay, the day I've been waiting for. I got up later than expected so didn't get out the door as soon as I wanted, but I was still early, so no big problem. The big problem was the swimming suit. I don't have a lot of balance and I put my left foot through the left seam. No more suit. I threw out two suits this week now. It's a good thing I had a back up in my dresser. Albeit a larger size, but not too large and fit decent this morning. It's also a good thing I forgot about the suit for the church rummage giveaway.
The good news is that I did lose weight, six pounds. Not the eleven I hoped for, but six is good. It's showing a two-pound average over the last three weeks.
I had a good workout in the pool and the fitness center. I thought I had grown weak in 24 hours as I couldn't move the pad on the leg curls on the same weight as yesterday, or was it? I looked down to see someone slid two weights onto the bar above the weights. I moved those and was able to move the pad down and got my normal reps in.
Yesterday was a light eating day. I had breakfast at the ADRC before rock painting, the two-egg scrambler with tomato, onions, spinach, and mushroom. I had a banana when I got home. I had a snack when I got home - creamy cucumber salad with onions. Supper was my standard breakfast only I made three eggs this time with my potato and had a kiwi for my fruit.
A definite light eating day, but who has an appetite when it's hot. Though it didn't get too bad yesterday. That's reserved for today. It's currently 86 F and feels like 93 F. It will get a lot warmer as the day progresses. It was 78 F when I left for the pool at 4:35 this morning. It's really getting muggy out there.
So the picture was taken in the shade of the front step when I got home from my son's. I did laundry and watched a new Netflix series Blown Away with him. Great series about glass blowing competition. You really want to see the person you're rooting for, win it.
Okay, here are yesterday's numbers. Even I'm impressed with them.
Calories: 917.84
Sugar: 31.47
Carbs: 66.95
Protein: 41.1
Sodium: 650
Fat: 39.75
My afternoon plans to go to my favorite amusement part is canceled due to the heat advisory, but I will go bowling tonight with the church bowling party. So, for the duration of the day, I will try to get the well over 200 notifications finished. If I don't, there's always tomorrow.
How is your Friday? Thanks for reading.

Young lady that photo tells it all, you are obviously developing a firm muscle structure! And I certainly can tell that you've lost more weight, you're looking wonderful
When weight comes off fast, it usually returns. But, when those pounds are lost slower, they're gone for good
Six pounds is a lot, don't let anyone kid you!

@just4him There's no doubt in my mind, you are definitely trimmer than your last picture.

@crazyhorseladycx I got a surprise for an electric bill a few days ago. It's lower instead of higher. I don't run the A/C. I have my ceiling fan on in the office at the moment.

You have done excellent! Keep up the good work! What type of potato do you have in the morning? Seems filling and tasty for a breakfast. I rarely have breakfast but am always searching for a meal I might be able to stomach. Thank you!

@Spontaneo Yes, I microwave them. I have a potato button on the microwave - it's generally between 7 and 12 minutes depending on if I have one, two, or three potatoes in there. I generally have only one potato.
You're welcome.

@just4him No problem, and perhaps when the heat is not so brutal!

Six lbs is still good! Keep going! 
It's hot here too and I'm going to eat a lot of refreshing fruit.

That's good you lost 6 pounds last 2 weeks ago. If you're consistent in doing your daily routine of exercise, by another 2 weeks, another 6 pounds And so on and so forth. Keep it up my friend.

A loss is better than a gain. Kudos to you!
Today was my last day of work. Looking forward to some time to myself for a change.

That's usually where my productivity is too. However, I wasn't on the computer as much as I usually am.
