It was a bitter sweet moment of dropping Logan back off to school for his last semester of his 2nd year in college. Two more years left after this year and I know it will go fast. It's hard to see them go for months at a time, but he will be back in March for spring break week and then off for the summer early in May - the end of August. A good long summer break!
Plus, we went to lunch by the Public Market at the Wicked hop. Sunday is brunch all day, so Steve and I shared a waffle and chicken with potatoes meal. Sooo good.
I only had a 1/4 slice of the waffle and a small portion of chicken with some potatoes. They had an orange butter with maple syrup and some saracha sauce on the side to add maple syrup. A delicious combo on the chicken. Logan had a burger with an egg on top that also looked good.
Here is Target with the funny cart escalator. It's a two story building and they created this for carts.
After dropping off Logan we headed to the Dells where we got a room deal at the Ho chunk casino for $89 a night. I spent $20 in all on gambling Sunday night and Monday morning. We also stopped at the Moose Lodge and shared a Mexican pizza and a beer. Monday we drove home and headed to Hudson for wings at Lolo and a seltzer for me. After we crossed the river to Stillwater to have dinner at Caps, a shared burger and fries along with another seltzer for me.
Diet was good considering there were lots of unhealthy temptations with meals out. I shared my meals with Steve and gave him a bigger portion. Plus, had mostly seltzers instead of beer with the exception of Sunday night with our Mexican pizza. In all I think each day calories were some were around 800 - 850 for the day. I do feel hungry this morning which I'll save to eat at lunch. Might be another day of eating out?
The new jeans are a diet reward. Size 12 skinny darker jeans that stretch. Plus the facial today with a friend at 10.
It's the last day of week #8! Did I lose 4 pounds? Not sure but I do need more tank tops as XL size is way too big. I'm thinking maybe medium size? Which will be tight but large will be baggy. I am thinking I'm at least high 170's if not just at 180. This week will be the big weight loss to get closer to my goal weight the next few weeks. The weeks sure did go by fast. Not really, but kind of since I'm now moving on to week #9! I'll do a measure tomorrow. Not sure I want to step on the scale either. I'm at a good point where I don't feel the need to really know as long as I have an estimate. Last time I stepped on the scale was I think the start of week 6, at 190 pounds or was it week 5? That's 3 weeks gone, and should have been 12 pounds ago. Or at least 5 to 6? No idea. That's the issue with having no idea what my starting weight was at. I was too afraid to really know! Well, over what I ever want to weight again!!! No thank you!!! Even if I stayed this weight around 179 I feel good. Just not bathing suit looking good. Just how my clothes fit good. Still need to tone up and lose at least another 20 pounds!! I've got this!! I'm more than half way at day #56, only a few more days to the next big goal day of Day #60. 100 isn't that far away and I'll hopefully be close if not at my goal weight. I just need to keep doing what works and what I have been doing.
Today, is facial, gym, and cross country skiing. Plus, data entry of taxes all week. Not to mention my 1 min plank and dumb bells. I'll walk and do the stair master at the gym along with the machine weights. I do need to increase my time on the stair master keeping walking the same distance. but more hills at 2.9mph.
Forgot about the snow sculptures in Stillwater. I loved the dog the best!
