I ended up getting hungry around 9pm last night, so I ate and got my calories to where they were supposed to be.
Yesterday's Calories: 1401 Today's Weight: 177
I went to a gem and mineral show today and got a gorgeous chunk of labrodite and a teardrop labrodite stone that I'm going to make a wire-wrapped pendant with.
Psychic Oooh, fun! I love rock and mineral shows - liked to collect them when I was a kid. That will be a lovely pendant!
B - KIND bar, medium navel orange
L - sauteed mushrooms and kale (button mushrooms, kale, balsamic vinegar, greek yogurt, oregano), large mango
D - medium avocado with fresh salsa, 6 medium strawberries
+ serving of soft-serve mint ice cream (somewhere between 1/2 to 1 cup)
I wanted to go for a run today, but I think my body is telling me to opt for a rest day.

Today is usually weigh in for me, but I won't be touching the scale this week. Confession time: I'm manic. Many manic people do reckless things while in manic state. Sex drugs and lots of spending is the norm. Lots of marriages get destroyed because of it...counselors counsel spouses to get separate bank account so that when the Bipolar person goes into debt they don't take the house with them. Kinda smart, but kinda mean too. I don't do those things, though. So I am safe. I do spend more, but normally at the dollar store. This time, I spent it on house supplies which we needed anyway. So in the end it works out.
My most dangerous or reckless thing is crazy driving and not taking care of myself. Well, all weekend long I tortured my body. I haven't put down a paint brush for more than 5 hours sleep and I've eaten so many glutenous things, my body is screaming this morning for relief. My ligaments aren't holding my wrists, hips or ankles together so walking has become difficult and getting up from the floor (painting furniture) I struggle for a very long time to get my hips to work while trying not to jar the wrists and ankles. The pain is beyond explaining and when the bones move and pull, it feels gross Gluten is not my friend and mania won't let me stop the torture. Already this morning, I'm chomping at the bit to get back into the kitchen.
So I only need to finish the table and chairs, paint the new trim DH put up and still do the ceiling. I had to do two coats of primer (one at 2 am and then the other at 6, yesterday). DH worked in the kitchen so I couldn't paint the ceiling. He ended up encouraging the spending by helping me find matching table cloth, place mat (for our fish that sits in the middle of the table) and cushions for our chairs. He has really allowed me to go with the kitchen in any direction I want, even suggested black trim (yay, me and black are the best of friends ) I'm hoping to finish it all today. But we'll see as the body is my tool and if it doesn't work, well, not sure what else I can do...laundry
Hopefully my weight won't be too affected by all this. We'll see. I hope everyone has a wonderful and healthy day.
Mamakat- Hang in there. I'm so sorry to hear of your pain in your joints and struggles. For one thing, with all your work and painting you have to be burning some calories. That may help with any extra food. Also I'm sure your house is looking beautiful. I hope you feel better soon.
I have good news and bad news news. Bad news? I only had 800 calories before heading to work and was SUPER busy. At work I ate a small salad is all. And figured on a low calorie day, but.... Then got home and found myself raiding my cupboard of any crunchy salty thing I could find :/. I didn't weigh or measure, so I'm going to have to guesstimate too how much I ate. I feel totally bummed. Im not letting myself be so low on calories before I work tonight. Then if I'm busy again and I don't have time to eat I will mot be so hungry to not have some will power. Just quick background, I work as a bartender at a restaurant. And on Sunday and Monday nights I'm the only bartender. So if we don't have a lull after the dinner rush I can't stop working to eat. I'm thinking about figuring some good go to snacks that I can keep in the back at the employee table that's easy to pop a bite or two in my mouth when I have a few moments.
And the good news is that I was 184.4! Yay! Couldn't believe I was that low after eating tortilla chips and salsa late late last night. I was seriously eating at midnight and still saw a lower weight at 6:30 this morning. So yesterday was the rest day. I feel completely recovered muscle wise. No soreness. So I'm not dreading geting back to insanity again today. Besides a part of me feels I need to punish myself for poor food choices last night. Have Shaun T help me work the calories off. Hope everyone's doing well today!

Ok I but the bullet and entered my binge last night. Not as terrible as I feared. I went over 271 calories. I tried to err in the side of high when guesstimating how much I ate. But with my high calorie allowance that out me 2200 calories. Whew. Lets not hit repeat on that one
I am have a huge pot of vegetarian cabbage soup on the stove and will be eating that for lunch and probably dinner. I add beans to mine for fiber and protein. So yummy!
good morning I had a high-calorie day yesterday...I seem to do that about once a week, usually on sundays...I ate up to about 2400(?) calories, maybe slightly more, because I was very hungry and munchy all day...I was busy and even that didnt' stop me from eating a lot (I usually eat less when busy)...im still sore from running back on the trail on Saturday, mostly just from the impact of the ground instead of the treadmill because parts of me hurt that don't really pertain to the actual running muscles...like my ankle and knees ache from the harder impact, my lower back where my spine is damaged, stuff like that...it's supposed to get sunny (sshh don't jinx it!) today and most of the week(!) so DH wants to go back there again tonight...i'm still hitting the gym for my regular routine this morning though
I've been looking around here for a couple of days now and I gotta say - I love that everybody seems to be so committed to checking in. I would love to join!
I haven't been completely OP at all, mainly due to the fact that its TOM and on top of that I've been sick for about 3 days. My mind really wants some comfort food. Yesterday, for the first time in about a month, I ate such low-quality food that I started feeling really nauseous. I know, I know - it's not smart to eat junk especially when you're sick. That's why I'm regretting it so much right now
I was really excited for my weigh-in on Wednesday. I expected a huge whooshh because PMS water retention was really bad for me this month but now I'm too scared. Also, I haven't been able to workout at all because I've been feeling horrible. I just want to get over this cold/flu and go back to the gym.
Today is a new day and I feel really determined to make it a healthy one. I slept in late because I kept waking up last night, so so far I only had breakfast.
Breakfast: 1/2 cup oatmeal + 1 cup vanilla soy milk + 1 banana + 1 handful of blueberries + 1 cup of tea
Not keen on doing anything...
