Breakfast today

Well yesterday I started a new MO for losing weight -- simply drinking alot more water. Lately I've been snacking too much in the afternoon and this is a primary reason for not losing any weight since Aidan was born. That and being sedentary all day in the apartment will not lead to weight loss! So instead of grabbing some snack, I'm grabbing a glass of water and see how that goes. I'm also going to forgo the afternoon cup of coffee I like to drink, mostly because I'm craving sweet stuff.

Then Golf goes this morning to get X Donuts (pba-tong-go in Thai) which is a Chinese treat. It's a savory X-shaped dough deep friend and enjoyed with a cup of coffee. Many people like to eat it with some sweetened condensed milk drizzled on it too, which is delicious. Here is a picture of the last three!



The vendors make it only in the early mornings, and Aidan got us up by 7 AM so Golf wanted to buy some. I said OK, since it's not conveniently available in the USA and I'm trying to eat things here that are not readily available in the States since our days here are numbered. Well, even though these are very fattening, I'm not going to just give in the rest of the day. I'm still going to drink my water.

It's also been cool and cloudy/rainy the last few days and I got in a good power walk yesterday and I hope to do so again today. I save my yoga workouts for days that are too hot to go out. Or if it's pouring rain.

Today Golf goes to get Aidan's Thai passport. Woo hoo!

Those look so yummy. Why the X shape? Good luck losing weight on those! : )

Sadly, I have too much acid reflux to eat those! I can't eat much that has been deep fried. Just how are those made?

I wish you tons of luck with this plan. V8 is also a good thing to drink (if you were doing WW, it would be 0 pts). I have a friend who eats daily donuts. It isn't helping her lose the baby weight either. It sure is a struggle. I'm going on 2 1/2 years of calling it baby weight. Is that allowed?

Well, the X donuts certainly are not for weight loss! It actually rather sabotages my efforts but I cannot say no when I know I can't get them in the US. I will be able to take off more weight once I'm more active in the States. Here in Bangkok, the majority of my movement is done with housework and a powerwalk or yoga session in the early evening. That's it. :(
