SherryeB's Journal, 05 Dec 19

Inched back up this morning....to be expected after an evening of fun & frivolity 😀🎄📚 The food at last night's party was actually not bad in terms of calories. Everyone brought appetizers, so we had shrimp, thinly sliced salmon with cream cheese, capers & onion, hot crab dip & jalapeño poppers. There was also pumpkin soup with bread. To drink there were was hot rum punch & wine. And 3 desserts.... baklava, orange cream cake & tiramisu. I ate a little of everything and had slivers of the desserts. I estimated calories so have no idea if I was under or over.

I don't know how those of you that fast for days at a time do it. In anticipation of eating & drinking more last night I thought I'd have breakfast & skip lunch/snack. Some days I don't eat much anyway in the afternoon. I started feeling hungry so decided to have a Greek yogurt. Around 5 PM I was feeling almost sick with hunger. I had a cheese stick & a couple of those thick pretzel sticks. That sufficed until I ate at the party. I never would have made it without eating something.

More decorating on the agenda today. 😊
