I had a quiet day today. Putzed around all day. Even took a short nap this afternoon. I only dozed off for about 10 minutes though.
I didn't do any kind of exercise this morning either. Wasn't in the mood for it. Now I have to be sure to get back in the groove tomorrow morning. I've already got my alarm set for 4 AM.
I still haven't eaten any white foods. Don't know if it's working or not, but, it sure can't be hurting anything. Maybe I'll weigh myself in the morning.
The last 2 afternoons I've gotten the munchies really bad, so, I'm thinking that it's boredom. Both weekend days, and in the afternoon.
For breakfast today I had a big veggie, ham and cheese omelet, and for lunch I had a little piece of leftover salmon with a small salad and for supper I'm eating as I type this a sweet potato, some asparagus and a leftover barbecue rib.
When I had the munchies I had some beef sausage sticks.
Puss, I have ironed maybe twice in the past year. And it was only one outfit each time.
My husband was so good at ironing. They always looked like they came from the cleaners.
Hope your weekend went well.
Sheila, I AM proud of myself for not eating any white foods, but, I'm getting curious to see how much I've lost. I know I've lost a little because I can tell it in my belly. But, if you could see what I eat!
Large amounts! I haven't counted calories or points or anything. I just have been concentrating on eating slowly until I feel satisfied. And I have a LARGE capacity.
That omelet this morning was really big. The bulk of it was vegetables, but, still, it was BIG.
My next challenge will be eating normal-size meals. But I want to get one thing under my belt (so to speak) before I tackle the next thing.
I liked the SBD idea, it's pretty much like what I've been doing the last 2 weeks, but, I didn't see one place in the book where it said just how high was high enough on the glycemic index, or what foods were too high, except for about 4 of them that were named. So, I'm going to have to look out on the 'net to see if there is a cut-off number. Like, is 50 on the index considered a high number, or a low or average? Is 100 ok, or too high? See what I mean? I didn't think that was explained very well.
The concept makes tons of sense to me though.
WW has kind of fallen by the wayside I'm afraid. I truly don't like going to the meetings. I don't think I get as much out of it as I do sitting here typing stuff back and forth to you gals.
I already know before I go to that meeting if I've gained or not, and I know it works for some people, but, I gotta be honest and say it has never worked for me. Or, rather, maybe I've never worked IT. I'd rather spend the money on swim passes. I enjoy the water and I don't enjoy sitting through a WW meeting.
As for my kids calling me about marital problems. Or any problem, for that matter. I have always told them I don't want them sitting alone, hurting, especially in the night. I've gone through that many years ago with my first husband, and I was hundreds of miles away from my family and friends. There is nothing worse than to be sitting alone at 1 or 2 in the morning, with a broken heart and not knowing where your spouse is or what's going to happen to your marriage and doubly bad if you have children.
The nights seem to go on endlessly.
Only one of my kids has been divorced, and he was married to an alcoholic. I watched him be hurt over and over again for 9 years. I realize she had an illness, but I got to the point that I hated that woman. But, I never told him that, and I listened, late at night, sometimes till daylight when he had to get ready for work, for as many times as he needed to call me. But, when he did ask me what I would do in his place, I told him not to waste anymore of his youth on someone who obviously wasn't ever going to keep her word and go for treatment. Every time he was ready to leave, she would promise to go for treatment, and would "supposedly" quit, until he stayed, then the same thing would start over.
When he started getting calls from her boyfriend, he left, but still didn't divorce her for a year and a half. I'm glad that they DIDN'T live closer to me. There probably would have been a couple of hair-pulling contests if they had.
She too quit coming for any of the holidays. Said she needed to stay home to take care of the dogs. Funny, ... they had always gone to a kennel before. At any rate, my son and granddaughter came home for the holidays anyway.
She just didn't want to face any of us because she knew that we had found out what she was doing.
So, I say that a mother should always make herself available to her kids, to listen if nothing else. Sometimes they only need to talk and hear themselves express it to make a decision. I'm sure her parents are doing the same for her. Unless they don't know about it yet.
Well, I'm going to get my stuff ready for tomorrow.
Hello to everyone else! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Take care and I'll see you tomorrow.
