Everything about today was good. This morning I went to a WW meeting here in LM. The best part is that my dad came with me...he has decided to join WW as well! I'm so happy for him! I know the program can work for him. Good luck, Dad!
I gained .6 lbs this week. I'm ok with that gain, especially since I have been on vacation this week. I'm proud of myself for getting to the gym, and I haven't done too bad with my eating, well, except for today, but more on that later.
After the WW meeting, I headed over to the gym for a quick workout before my sister arrived from San Diego. The timing was excellent. Lizzie got here just after I got home from the gym. I love it when the original four members of our family are together.
Mom, Lizzie and I went to lunch together at a tapas place in Fullerton called Lizarran. Man, it was good. Tapas are Spanish appetizers. We ordered several and shared. We had albondigas (meatballs), calamari (fried squid), jamon serrano y queso manchego (ham and cheese), croquettas (fried morsels of bechamel sauce), patatas bravas (fried potatoes with a delicious sauce) and tortilla de patatas (potato omelette) with pan con tomato (bread with tomato). The meatballs and the croquettas were our least favorite. My mom makes delicious croquettas, and these just weren't very good. Even the description makes them sound kinda yucky. We loved the patatas bravas and the bread with tomato. We had to order more of the bread. It was a really nice lunch, and I enjoyed hanging out with my mom and my sister.
While we were out, my dad and T went out and about in Dad's SSR. T loves to ride in the SSR. Since there is no back seat, he feels big, I think, when he gets to ride in the SSR. Plus it's a cool-looking little truck, so it's fun.
This afternoon we all just hung out, chatting and watching football or reading. Lizzie squeezed in a little nap. She just said, "I don't know what it is about this house! I just find myself horizontal whenever possible." It is very relaxing here for us. Good times.
For dinner we went to El Cholo to celebrate Lizzie's birthday, which is next week. We all love Mexican food, except for T. I had a cheese enchilada with a beef taco and a margarita. Delicious! I ate way too much and I feel a bit bloated right now, but it was good. I think it's ok to splurge a little now and then for really special occasions, and I think this day fit that bill.
