Diet

Since school began, it's been busy and cannot do much for my hobbies lately. Only thing I have been able to continue is probably my diet. My diet has been showing progress little by little. I cheat my diet menu quite often, so I guess I have been losing my weight so slow. I need to fix this! A few days ago, we bought chips somehow when we went grocery shopping. I didn't notice A.A. grabbed chips until we got to a cashier. Well, eventually we bought them and we, especially I, have been snacking those. It's not good!!! I love Sun Chips, but I wish I didn't crave. Even those are baked chips, they have calories. I know I wouldn't eat any if we didn't have chips in my sight, so I don't want to buy them, but A.A. wants to snack.. pretty big problem..
I started eating asian salad, which helps my diet. It has lettuce, tomato, cucumber, sliced ham, and sometimes fried eggs. Originally it was "harusame salad." But, I have been eating without harusame since it's out (I tried chinese harusame, but I didn't like it). The dressing with this salad is made of 2 Tbl. soy sauce, 2 Tbl. rice vinegar, 1 Tbl. sesame oil, and 1 Tbl. sugar. And then I add mustard for finishing. When I think it's kind of heavy taste, I reduce the amount of soy sauce and sugar. I believe my skin, especially my face, feels and looks much better because of the rice vinegar.
I want to update my blog and take photos of Sophie and Misha more often. They have been doing great and I think Misha now weights around 90 lb. or more. She is thick and feels like heavier than Sophie.. She needs new collar, probably size 20''.

Week 9 (!) Feedback:
I lost a pound, so total 14 lb. loss for 9 weeks. I wish I could lose quicker..but, it doesn't happen that way. I was so frustrated last a couple of weeks, because my weight didn't change at all. During the ninth week, it finally moved down a pound. It was only a pound, but still a pound: I'm very happy to see that!!
