Whatcha Eating Today VSGers? Wednesday 9/13/17

I'm sure the interview will go well! Weird about the race length.

I'm exhausted. Clearly I'm not giving my body what it needs to heal right now, because I'm getting more and more tired every day. I think I need to admit to myself that, yes, I'm still healing and that, yes, this means I need more sleep than my body normally needs. I'll sleep in a bit the next few days and, hopefully, that will help.

I'm also feeling a little overwhelmed at the moment because I have a thing due in one of my classes by midnight and I'm only about halfway finished with it. I had intended to fini**** this morning, but my body was uncooperative about waking up and now I'm about to head out to meet up with a friend for a LONG lunch. Thankfully the dinner I'm cooking should be quick, which means I should have time to finish the assignment when I get home from lunch and before I need to cook dinner, but I'm still feeling stressed about it.

QOTD: Currently my time is split between surgery recovery, being a college student, and homemaking. In the past I have also been a caregiver, a home day care provider, a center day care provider, tournament operations manager, website admin, and a weird variety of other things. I'm working toward a career in Gerontology - I'd like to be a program/activity coordinator/manager at a CCRC or to work in hospice in some capacity.

Hope everyone has a good Wednesday!

Hi Guys! Go****'s been a crazy weekend and week, but 3 of the 4 puppies have been adopted and only Gulliver is left. I really hope he finds his forever home this week, because when singleton pups find their way up into our main floor and living with us 24/7 and not in furnished basement, we get WAY TOO ATTACHED TOO FAST! :)

walking, water, and forgot my vites/supplements, so I will be playing Hades getting them all in before 10pm bedtime tonight when I get home at 4pm.

QOTD I have had several types of office jobs in the past..medical billing and coding, purchasing clerk, and most recently the scan manager and head bookkeeper at a grocery store. I left my job in February so that I could enjoy some time with my son before my husband and I started our own business. We just opened our own deer processing shop! The season runs from September thru December and I handle the office stuff as well as vacuum sealing the meat and labeling it. I take orders when hunters drop the deer off and call them when it's ready for pick up. When my husband gets home from his regular job I assist him with making the sausage and hamburger and other stuff. When Im not super busy I tend to do some light catering for local events and I love to bake and sell quite a few desserts and pastries.

Vitamins and water good. Walking and working!

Oops - forgot to wish you Good Luck for tommorrow Erin :)

Oh hey, good luck, Erin! That's fabulous! I still hope to work in a university again some day...

I actually have lost another 12 pounds in the past six weeks (!) primarily thanks to Saxenda. The Saxenda has allowed me to eat a whopping 700 calories a day and to not subsist on a liquid diet. I will only be taking it until the revision date, which we will revisit in January some time.

Unfortunately, it has helped reverse a lot of my insulin resistance a little too well. My blood sugar was in the 50's yesterday (.....) and that....really sucked. I never had low blood sugar quite like that. I was temporarily crazy. Hopefully I didn't post anything bizarre on youtube or anything! I had 2 tbsp of cream with the coffee this morning so it doesn't drop quite so drastically. seemed to work, at least.

I'm switching away from whey protein as much as I can, to animal protein. It will help with that, and it's also got more bioavailable nutrition for me. Using up the last of the shakes and then back to, uh, "meat shakes," as it were.

M1: Premier Protein, coffee.

M2: 4oz seared tuna w/miso

M3: 5oz greek yogurt, plain, with cinnamon.

M4: Undecided; possibly some more tuna.
