In the last two days, I’ve been asked TWICE if I was pregnant. The first was a co-worker, the second was an old co-worker I hadn’t seen in a few years. She was at my friend Erika’s wedding last night. First she said I was “wasting away.” She hadn’t seen me since I’d lost all my weight and she said I was “glowing.” All wonderful compliments and it felt really nice that she noticed the weight loss. But really? Am I looking chubby around the mid-section or WHAT?! My old co-worker quickly said that I must be glowing because I’m in love. Yes, yes I am. Not pregnant though, thanks! \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n

That brings me to my first tip in “Fat Etiquette.”<\/strong><\/span> Never never never ask a woman if she’s pregnant unless she’s like 9 months along and clearly ready to pop. When I was fat, I was asked if I was pregnant. Nope, just fat, thanks so much for asking. Luckily, it didn’t happen a lot and I wasn’t totally humiliated like a friend of mine: she was overweight and tended to carry all her weight in her mid-section. An older Chinese woman who didn’t speak English very well came up to her and RUBBED her belly saying “Good Luck.” Horrifying!!!<\/p>\n

So avoid that faux paus, if possible!<\/p>\n

On another note, I woke up this morning pretty sore from yesterday’s weights. Ugh. Ouch. Wah! I took some Advil and enjoyed the soreness a bit because it meant I worked hard. Breakfast this morning was Ezekiel toast with Crofter’s Raspberry Jam and two fried eggs.<\/p>\n

Breakfast<\/p><\/div>\n

I totally failed at removing the fried eggs from the pan and they totally folded over and were just a big FAIL. They tasted good, though. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I went to the pool and had a great swim. It always feels good to get in the pool after I workout really hard. Swimming seems to work out the soreness and the kinks.I did my routine in 45 minutes (1.25 miles) and I relaxed in the hot tub afterward. I feel much better after the pool!<\/p>\n

Today is going to be very lazy. I plan on sitting in front of the computer watching “Rescue Me” on Netflix. Yay for lazy days and TV marathons!<\/p>\n

Michael is glued to the TV watching the US Open this weekend. I made myself a grilled cheese sandwich with Trader Joe’s Aioli mustard and light mayo.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Colby Jack cheese:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>While it was grilling in the skillet, I sliced up a cucumber and added some Italian dressing to it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Instead of real butter, I used “I Can’t Believe it’s Not Butter” spray.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>It has zero calories in it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I used this stuff A LOT when I was losing weight. My primary concern was limiting my calorie intake and my mentality towards food changed. I’d think “Are these calories worth it?” I have used ICBINB Spray in a long time. I bought it at the store on a whim recently. Now that I try to eat more “REAL” food, I find it harder and harder to use substitutes like this. It feels like eating cancer or something. It’s just all chemicals. Ick!<\/p>\n

I used it today on my grilled cheese sandwich but I think once this bottle is done with, I’m not going to buy another one.<\/p>\n

Lunch<\/p><\/div>\n

Look at how gooey and wonderful this sandwich is:<\/p>\n
