I have dinner w/a friend tonight, then we are going shopping for party favors/decorations for a bachelorette party next weekend. *cough*
This friend is the 'biggest' in our circle of friends. I had dinner w/her a few nights ago & discovered she doesn't like tomatoes...so naturally I HAD to eat her 2 pieces of bruschetta she didn't want.
Last time we got together she was also telling me about a diet clinic here in Brookfield that she would pay
$100/month to, for appetite suppressant injections once a week.
Later in the night she asked me how much my gym membership cost & when I said
$42/month, she said, "Oh, that's too much".
So tonight should be interesting. I have no idea where we're eating. I'm planning on a salad w/meat on it & a seltzer w/lime.
Tomorrow I meet w/the renal dietician, we are meeting @
Panera's which I loooove.
I have already planned my meal: You Pick Two, which is half a salad or cuppa soup or half a sammich. I will be having a cup of lowfat chicken noodle soup, and half a seasonal salad they have called the chicken fruit something-or-other, with the dressing on the side.
I would much rather have the steak bistro salad, but
I will have seltzer w/lime if they have it, if not, a plain water w/some lemons. I am not eating any of this in front of the dietician. She is a size 2.
But she has the same kidney disease as me, so I feel she will best be able to help me come up with a program that will both help me put off my need for a transplant along with losing some weight along the way. I am looking very much forward to it, as she is the same dietician who will be speaking at the PKD Foundation's Annual Conference in California that I am going to in June.
Sunday is domestic chick day, I need to do laundry & get some cleaning done, and maybe some cooking & food prep. My melons should be ripe by then, so I will cut them up & put in bags, ready to grab & go for the week.
Jill, there is no law saying you have to eat anything you have prepared. I use such occasions to cook food I won't touch, such as ham steaks, beets, and cheesecake.
I wish you luck this weekend, it's HARD to eat healthy when you're the only one doing so.
Howie, I commend you & Kimberley for a treat-free weekend. After the few days I've had, I think I need a treat free weekend as well.
PeachGirl, Good luck!!!
Good luck to everyone!
