  Well, today was my lucky day. The PT was late getting in this morning, so I had time to sneak on the scale without being harassed and harangued. Actually, I had planned on negotiating with him to get him to allow me to weigh myself the same day every week and stay off the scale the rest of the time, but I will save that for the next time the scale is calling my name.
The verdict? The scale showed a one-pound loss, bringing me down to 212. I haven’t previous losses in the right hand column, because I had decided I was only going to update it every 5 pounds. So, 2 pounds to go for an update. The sad part is, my home scale was registering 210 on Monday, and I worry that yesterday’s egg roll binge upped my sodium intake and made me retain water. We’ll see what next Thursday’s gym weigh-in says. Wedding Update: Checked out Shea’s Restaurant (sorry no website) for our rehearsal dinner.
The restaurant, billed as an Irish neighborhood pub, is close to the church and has banquet facilities. They have 2 simple, affordable buffet menus (more Italian and American than Irish! ), and Boo and I both agreed on the slightly more expensive one with the fancier food. We had dinner there last night and the food and service were good. The banquet room is a bit plainer than I would like, but it all other criteria considered, it is just fine for our purposes. We penciled in for the 8th of October, and I will make a follow-up call with the owner tomorrow.
