Weekend was rough for me...I battled hunger/cravings on Saturday and Sunday I gave in during one meal....but only one meal and it wasn't as horrid as it could have been (corn chips at a Mexican restaurant...but main dish was still only a taco salad, which wasn't NEAR as good as the one I make myself). I'm sure it knocked me out of ketosis though. My weight was up all weekend, even prior to my "indiscretion" last night...has been at 273.4 since Saturday. Can PMS seriously start a full 8 days in advance?
I'm getting set for my Vegas trip. I only have a couple hours in the evening over the next couple of days to do a TON of stuff....so I'm jumping the gun on the packing thing, which is soooooo not like me! Because of my flight time, I'm going to have to go to bed at an absolutely insanely early hour on Wednesday.
Yesterday I spent $8 to save $30...I bought a little $8 set of empty containers to put my "liquid" items in so that I can pack everything one needs for a 5 day trip into a stupid Ziploc bag so I can put my suitcase through as a carry on and save the absolutely ridiculous luggage fees. That whole luggage fee thing torks me like NOBODY'S business! The first piece should be figured into the cost of the ticket...PERIOD! I can see starting the charges at a second piece, but a first??? And if you want to get me started on a freakin rant...let's talk about the $5/per day "phone access fee" you are forced to pay in Las Vegas hotels. Again...that should be built into the cost of the room. If you are going to call it out separately, then it better dang-well be optional (which it's not) because I have no intention of using the room phone for the 5 days I'm there! I have a cell phone...I haven't used a hotel phone in 10 years! They could take it out of my room for all I care...why do I have to pay $5 a day for it? Are you going to charge me $5 a day for the stupid chair and ottoman that's in there that I won't use either? A "furniture access" fee if you will? You offer a room...you charge a price for that room...if you need extra money for the freakin phone, then up the price of the freakin room.
Wow...I do sound hostile don't I. I think I answered my own PMS question. LMAO!!!
I'm very fortunate that as a disabled person, I get to board early...so I won't have to fight for space in the overhead compartment for my carry-on...but I can imagine that this policy change has made a TON of people do what I'm doing, trying to carry everything on board instead of paying the extra fees. I bet it becomes a battle for space.
In my never-ending munchiness friday night, I tried something new that didn't turn out quite as planned, but worth trying again. I had a package of large pepperonis that I separated and baked about 9 of them on a baking sheet, attempting to get them crispy. They never did...but maybe I should try broiling next time? Anyway...I then put a smidge of pizza sauce on each one and then a pinch of mozzarella and parm to make little mini pizzas. They were quite tasty...I'd do this again. I might even top with a piece of Canadian bacon and a sausage crumble next time. If I could get them crispy, I think these would make fun party appetizers...but as they were I had to eat them with a knife and fork.
