Day 1,2,3,4 LOL

day one was back to school and planned meals and that was fine, 975 calories good protein and carb balance, vitamins and water intake...ahh... she thought this is DO ABLE... day 2 was ok...fighting a migraine so I went with a caffeine drink after my meal (65 mintues after since I love to drink and need to wait after food. it was diet soda@@) then the damn drink made me slightly hyp-glycemic which looks like I am starving and I ate cookies from the 100 calroie pack when I really wasn't hungry I just had to EAT and EAT NOW...no idea how many calories ended up in me during that episode that night husband FINALLY got his settlement from his car accidnet in the summer and he wanted to go out for dinner so...I had turkey burger no bun with avocado slices. day 3 did fine all day water intake protein, no snacking just 4 small meals during my work day get home planning to have salmon steak for dinner to find HUSBAND has packed our bag and we are going to the water resort in town. to make up for vacation that wasn't so great for him because of the accident. DISCOVER how much weight gained while isn't a HUGE number on the scale...makes a HUGE difference in my comfort level wearing a swimsuite and hauling my now larger ARSE up 120 steps (yes Icounted them) about a bazillion time to do water slides with 2 children who are incredibly fit and YOUNG...ya know how fast those little monsters can do theose 120 steps??????? ugh...so food was crappy pizza and soda and water for everyone but the calories I burned....HOLY SMOKES... I can barely walk my thighs and calves hurt so bad! today I had tuna staek and salad for lunch YUMMY!!! and water intake is on for the day.. dinner is pork loin and baked apricots YUMMY!

Nic, You're really doing great. Isn't it amazing how fast kids can move? This Saturday we're babysitting all 7 of the boyfriend's grandchildren to give his daughters a night out together. I expect to be in ice packs by the next morning. I didn't realize that you're in Illinois. I was born in Jacksonville. C.

Nic, it's so wonderful to see you posting again! I've missed you. Isn't it amazing how much better healthy food tastes than the crap stuff? Stay close, kiddo, we're all in this together - and there seems to be a surge of good, healthy momentum right now. Reenie
