Hi everyone! Happy March 1st! Can't believe we are three months into 2018 already, time flies eh?
Accountability - spot on. I did change up dinner and had left over taco meat with cheese and sour cream.
QOTD: What is the weirdest scar you have and how did you get it? When I was 9 yrs old my BFF and I were having a water fight. We were stupid and were using glass glasses to throw water at each other. We both had full glasses and threw them at each other at the same time and our glasses smashed and it cut open a 2 inch gash in the webbing area between my thumb and finger. We both screamed at all the blood. Her dad was a Cop so he rushed me to the Emerg where I had a hack Resident "sew" up my cut. It was such a crappy job that I have all this scar tissue and I swear to this day there is still glass in there!

Uh oh...I did not take good care of myself yesterday and paid the price. First, I let myself get completely dehydrated. Then, I didn't really eat--I only had two 100 calories meat sticks for the 11 hours that I was at work, and that gave me some weird blood sugar issues with dizziness and sweats. I didn't hydrate enough before I went to bed, so I didn't sleep well--I drank 50oz of fluids throughout the overnight and I still feel dehydrated. If it gives you an idea about how poorly I feel---I am drinking TEA instead of coffee this morning. Yikes.
Accountability: I just was too busy to eat or drink (bad, I know) and when I was dealing with a blood sugar crash I ate an Oreo Thin. It did make me feel a lot better in the moment, though.
QOTD: When I was about 5 or so I was on my BFF's death-trap of a backyard swing-set. I don't remember all of the details but there was a screw sticking out of the metal slide and somehow it sliced my inner thigh and gave me a thick ropy scar. I also still have a really visible giant purple scar from the Lap Band port removal. It is super ugly.
I don't know what to eat today. I made a menu, but I honestly don't know if this is what I will end up with, but I will be drinking fluids like it's my job today.
And, we have HO****ER again!! wahoo! Got to focus on the little things!
weight is down 3 pounds today- so happy about that. keeping up with the logging/scale. Would like to continue to see a reduction in the upcoming month.
QOTD: I would say the tip of my middle finger. we had just bought a new truck and the dealership gave is a huge cookie basket. I picked up the bag and my henkles knife and sawed off the plastic bag... and the top of my finger... there was blood everywhere and I started screaming bloody murder. My DH ran from the shower and rushed me to urgent care where they said, we cant fix this go to the ER. So a Dr stitched me up- you could see the bone under the skin flap.
Other is under my chin. When I was about 5 I was in kmart and you know those rocking horses in the early 80's? well I fell forward onto the store floor and they had to rush me to ER to stitch me up.

Good morning Daisy and menu crew. My Day was good yesterday, long day with 4 hours of driving and then home to change , in the car and 1/2 hour to gym, got home at 8 pm last night.
Accoutnability - I ate off my norm yesterday, I visited two vendors in Canada, breakfast I caved in and had a muffin ( they were from Tim Hortons) , I gave in to pressure as i was the only one that was not going to eat. At lunch I had a small baguette with ham and mustard, it was so good. I do not eat bread....it was amazing..I hope I did not open the door for more.
QOTD - I have a scar on my wrist that came from when visiting a friends farm, they had barn cats, one cat seemed fairly tame and I tried to pick it up, well, it drove its nails into me and was biting me at the same time and I tried to fling it off me, one nail got caught in my skin and I swung my arm and the nail went deeper, so I am screaming with a cat flailing and stuck on my arm by one nail. Painful, was a deep wound about 3 ". I had to go to docs cause they were worried about infection, never got one.
