Paar-TAY!

Week 6 weigh-in... y'all ready for this?  4.4 pounds lost for a total of 28.4 pounds!

Dr. Pera said it 'won't be long now' until I hit the 50 pound mark.  He said that most people who enter a weight loss program do not get as far as that milestone.  I have never gotten that far, truth be told.  If I had, I probably would have been one skinny bitch twenty years ago.  At least I got the second part right.

I asked him if he was going to throw a party for me (Did not sound as snarky as it does in print) and he said he would definitely mark the occasion.  Did he mean like with a tattoo or something?  I'm not sure, but I totally do not approve of tattoos so I would discourage him from taking that route.
   
I went to many many restaurants this weekend, and I protected the fast painstakingly.  We travelled to the One Direction concert in NJ and then had dinner in NYC, so we were in hotels and restaurants all weekend.  Aaand I only wanted to throw the Optifast shaker against the wall once, during brunch on Sunday  morning when I could not get my act together to mix it right and you know how once it spills a little it gets all over everything?  It was like that.

Other than that one frustration, I did quite well.  I tipped the Starbucks to make my shake on many occasions, and they obliged kindly.  Only one restaurant (In NYC of course - I lived there for 15 years so I can trash talk it if I want to) refused to make my shake.  Silly Japanese restaurant (Hanae on 1st Avenue that I will never visit again even when I am eating - I am vindictive like that).  I did manage by borrowing their bartender's shaker and doing it myself.  So even the Japanese cannot derail me.  

If I did approve of tattoos, this one would be nice and discreet for Dr. Pera.

Oh Dr Pera, you shouldn't have!
