Good evening! I am currently going through a not feeling hungry phase, really odd for me!
We had tacos for lunch, and they tasted so good!
So I didn't really feel like eating dinner and just had crackers and hummus. Calories today 1263!
Just racing through again before I rush to get ready for work. LOL this getting up at 4:00 AM is hard enough but now it is really 3:00 -- I love the time change but it takes some adjusting to get up this early.
Diana, thanks for asking about the appointment. It is this afternoon. I get off at 10:30 so am going to the pool to work out and then go to the appointment.
i was exhausted waking up this morning ughhh time change....and ive been having alot of dreams at night, which actually feels like better rest than when i don't dream...but they are all very interesting dreams, nothing scary, very life-like....it's rough to get up at 6 a.m. when my body thinks it's 5 a.m. though...i have no problem going to sleep with the time change though, just getting up
The time change didn't really throw me too much this time. I think my work schedule is always so crazy and I'm used to my sleeping times changing and being edited so often, that one hour was not really noticeable. Also I worked an odd shift on Saturday, so my whole day felt out of whack and I think I just mentally chalked it up to that.
I am sitting here sipping hot tea and working on incorporating a bit of caffeine back into my diet. It's been so hard on my stomach that I've avoided it mostly for a week or so. I don't really care to 'depend' on it, but I dislike having to try and avoid it when I'm in the mood for a beverage that has it in it. So, me and my tummy are talking and seeing how we feel about it today. LOL
At the moment I am sitting here waiting on sis in law to show up with the kiddos so I can visit with them for a few moments before work. Haven't seen them in a couple of days I miss them! Funny, how the little fellas just work their way into your heart and take it hostage
morning! feeling SO much more like myself today...still up 3 pounds but I feel physically better. Well, and mentally!
Breakfast - refried beans and cottage cheese 275
we are having our monthly staff appreciation lunch today, and it's supposed to be Mediterranean food. I'm guessing falafel, hummus, pita...stuff like that. oh and salad! we always have salad. So I may get more sodium than usual but I'll be mindful of it.
Not sure about dinner yet - I have school tonight so it will be something quick. Probably leftover casserole that i made with the carrot/squash veggie penne pasta the other night.
This week is insane. I feel like it's never going to die down. Next week is worse. Didn't make it to the pool yesterday or today. So that leaves Wed, Thur & Fri, because the weekend is going to be a no go due to work. Scale moved a little bit, down to 322.2, so still have 3 pounds of water weight sitting on me.
Yesterday Calories In:1049
Pork chop
almonds
broccoli
tomato cucumber and onion salad with greek dressing
garlic sausage
cheese
gluten free lasagna
sea salted almond dark chocolate.
oh I am so full! Not too full, though...we had falafel, hummus, tabouleh,cous cous saldad, israeli salad, french fries, pita, and the dessert was chocolate cake! I did NOT have cake
Here's what I did have: 4 small falafel, israeli salad, tabouleh, hummus, one half pita, and a few french fries. I went back for more tabouleh and also got some cous cous salad. I have absolutely NO idea of the calories!!!
I do know that tabouleh consists of wheat bulgar, parsley, cucumber, tomato, and lemon juice...maybe a little olive oil? whatever the case it was fabulous and I won't worry about it since I'm going to school tonight and will take all 120+ stairs down from and back up to the parking lot. I'll keep dinner light, and I will NOT be having wine tonight! I'll just have to get sleep naturally...
Hey all.
I love the idea of being accountable more than the reality of it. Hopefully joining this thread will help me with my struggle with being accountable which in turn will help with my weight loss.
alaskanlaughter I am going to Alaska and thought of you. I can't wait to see your state.
Ugh. I have been doing really badly these last few days. I know I'll get back on track, but this is frustrating. I think a big part of that has been that I haven't been coming to the forum. I like the accountability and I have been missing that. Besides, now that I have an Alaskan trip planned I have a great impetus.
I got a really good reaction from the surgeon today... will post more later but they all commented on how much smaller I look -- I've lost only about 5 pounds so it was good to hear my impression verified; and I am wearing smaller clothes.
He was not surprised that my weight loss has stalled... said it is typical. I told him about my healthful eating plan and how much I enjoy it, but said that if I need to, I can cut back and try something else. He said do NOT do it but to keep right on doing what I am doing. My labwork is all perfect.
I was really pleased with his reaction.
