Yesterday I forgot to mention something Jim and I spotted. In front of us, at a traffic light was a moped with a handicap license plate. How can that be? Can someone please make some sense of that. I understand people who have weak legs or 1 bum leg but can still drive a car which requires one foot. A moped? At a stop, don’t you have to have leg strength? I didn’t get a photo because the light changed green just as I we pulled up.
While shopping in Walmart today I heard a mother say to her kid, “Stop that, you sound like a broken record.” I think the boy was about 5 or so. Does he even know what a record is?
Unfortunately today is an easy read – I just don’t have much to tell you. The remainder is Weight Watchers so if you aren’t interested then here’s where we drop you off. See you next time.
I used 25 out of 29 points today. I felt hungry all day. It was one of those days I guess. I wish there was a place for morning snack and afternoon snack in the list. So many diets encourage snacks or 5-6 meals a day. I just hate that it lists everything as if I’ve eaten it at one time. For dinner, I took left over grilled chicken and made a stirfry. Nothing was really fried since it was already cooked. I tried to estimate that I ate 1/3 of the meal. Jim had some and then there’s a large amount left over for 2 lunches! I might have over estimated the portion I ate but better to be safe than uhhhhhh fat.
 Short and simple is today’s theme. Need easy reading? This one is it. See here. |
Handicap tags are given out for a lot more things than just a bum leg...
ReplyDeleteI don't like that you can't list snacks, either.
Guess that's all I have to say today, too!
And I understand about handicap tags. My uncle had one for being sickly with his AIDS. I know people with bad asthma and the like may have one too. It's just strange though.
ReplyDeleteHaving a reliable food scale is handy for situations like this (mine is a glass top Salter and I LOVE it).
ReplyDeleteWeighing food can be a bit of a pain sometimes, but it really helps keep you on track. Believe it or not, I rely on mine alot - still!
And Garret, if you want to eat 5 or 6 small meals on WW, by all means do so. If you have difficulty journaling it online, then journal it in a memo pad. If you can carry your camera with you everywhere you go, you can carry a pad of paper. Just a suggestion. The WW e-tools are fun and addicting tho.
One more preachy thing since I'm on a roll... you really shouldn't be hungry if you're eating properly. Maybe we should chat and talk about alternative snacks that won't kill your daily points.
The handicap tag thing can be maddening. This isn't politically correct, but my ex-husband used to call handicapped parking spaces "paralyzed parking," and it stuck. Now even Larry uses that expression. I know it's wrong, so I always make sure to duck the lightening bolts.
Love ya, amigo.
Alix: You should have gone for broke and said, "Every time we look for a parking spot, we get gypped."
ReplyDeleteGarret - LOL! Ah that word will always remind me of Alix. :)
ReplyDeleteJust call me GYPSY Rose Lee :0)
