Whatcha Eating Today VSGers? Tuesday 12/5/17

Big Hugs Liz x

Thank you. Hospice was such a wonderful experience when my dad was dying, as much as such an experience can be called wonderful - as you, yourself, know. I'd really like to be able to give back in that capacity. I feel that our society is so death.. adverse? Avoidant? That we just don't have the skills to cope with it very well.

I just want to go back to bed. Ugh!!!

QOTD I want to get the last of my weight off and binge eating under control.

B Ham and cheese omelette and string cheese

L tuna, cottage cheese and honeycrisp Apple

D tbd haven't thought that far yet

Have a good day

QOTD: When I was really good at the health and nutrition stuff I was obsessive about it. I made sure to check the box on every little thing: meals, water, vitamins, exercise (2 to 3 times per day), and most importantly continued education on all subjects related. I also spent a lot of time on this site. I had a slightly different life that gave me a bunch more flexibility but I feel like this past year or so I have let that become an excuse. My goal for 2018 is to get back to that obsessive mindset. Regardless of traveling or work I need to find a way to make this all happen again.

Morning! So far it's been a better day than yesterday. Things just went terrible yesterday and I was in an awful mood. I think it's true what they say about the hormones and emotions the first few months. I had so much anger all day yesterday it is truly overwhelming. I have no desire to eat or drink alcohol, but just feel like I cannot deal with anything. However, feeling much more "normal" today.

L: leftover smoked chicken

S2: 1/2 protein shake

I had a great hike yesterday. No hikes today - it's so windy! Just a therapist appt and some errands.

QOTD: My main goal for 2018 is maintenance!! I've never maintained a weight for any meaningful period of time, so ths is my chance. And after I'm cleared for lifting stuff after next week's hernia surgery, I want to start strength training and working out with a trainer. I've never worked out in a gym before. And for the second had of the year maybe starting plastic surgeries? So much to do next year!

B - coffee and yogurt

L - real good pizza

D - mussels

S - broad beans, string cheese, ??

What day next week is your surgery Cecily?

Wednesday the 13th

You will do amazing and be back to hiking before you know it!!!

Thanks, Kristi! I hope so!
