Protein Sparing Modified Fast (PSMF)
The no op version.  This is a more liberal than the one many pre ops are given.

this cold is kicking my behind.  I ended up stepping out for chili and baked potato at Wendy's - I needed something hot and soothing.  Today, I brought a can of progresso chicken soup (reduced sodium, low fat) and I have my tuna sammich still.  I will get a cup of hot coffee later this afternoon (w/SF syrup, splenda only)

i have no taste buds almost - only very salty or very sweet stuff, but I'm not interested.  blleechh.

and i did not hit the gym this morning - my alarm went off and I swear I sneezed like 5 times in rapid fire - my body telling me to stay my BLACK azz in the bed and go back to sleep.....so I did.  I figure if I want to run Saturday, I best rest now. 

In other news - I'm still taking the 5 HTP and am still very pleased at my level moods. 

You need to rest up for that run.  Eat well and get those fluids and electrolights in.  Decades ago someone taught me to sip warm gatorade like tea for colds and flu.  It works like a charm and now sports drinks are available with zero calories. 

I think I need some 5HTP myself.  How much do you take a day?  Maybe that and some St John's Wort so can get my even temperment back a little sooner. 

I'm rambling today.  You know how it goes, settle in or skip it.  Its a free country so the choice is yours. 

Alright kiddies, can you say CLUSTERFKCU?  Go say it to your mommy and daddy and if they slap you you've said it right.  Remember that from Eddie on SNL in Mr Robinsons neighborhood?  Confirmation that you got that naughtly word just right!

Outside of 80's tv land I was no better yesterday than I had been over the weekend.  Thankfully I feel better today per my lengthy OT rant yesterday.  As always: Much luv  BAF family for listening.  I need all the support and encouragement be it posted or on the back line.  Even if no one ever reads it, I need to put it out there and get it out of my system. 

Find yourself an emotional outlet so you can purge and move on people.  We know irl few folks really want to listen to our emotional ****  Boards like The Experience Project and so many others may give us a safe community or an anonymous place to vent.  Find yours and create  your alter ego for privacy.  Its doubtful anyone will care enough to search for your true identity, but don't link it to yourself.  This is your mental health persona.  No real pics, names, locations etc.  Just purge.  No need to even allow comments or accept friends.  Its all abut what you need and its way cheaper than therapy.  

I started today poorly.  Up extra early.  Pizza for breakfast.   So wrong on so many levels from my wl needs to allergies to asthma to edema etc...  However, I did not overeat. 

Yesterday I learned what happens when you over fill your pouch.  It took over a year and a half to fall into that trap.  I did not weigh my food.  I ate what I wanted.  I sipped to soon.  And dinner expanded like a yeast filled bread dough and it hurt like hell.  For hours I though my pouch might pop.  NEVER AGAIN.  I've always stuck with the baics.  I strayed and got my gut kicked in.  Back to basics. 

Today started off poorly but I can clean it up.  Chicken for lunch.  Don't know about dinner yet.  I'm working my way to a few days of liquids only/ 5DPT.  Starting this week and today off wrong does not mean it must stay that way.  I will pull myself together and get back on the active wl plan. 

I'm still in carb rehab and it is working. I weighed in at 190.8 this morning.  Looking for my magic 189.something number in a day or two!!

Congrats!  You sure know how to drop those pounds when you're ready.  I'm researching my diet options because these extra lbs just won't budge!  Not even with low carbing. 

Hopefully my recent feeding frenzy will result in a shock to my metabolism and spur some wl once I ban the carbs and cut calories again.  Meanwhile, I'm researching my @$$ off for an effective solution.
