Accountability - Saturday
Well, the surgiversary celebration petered out completely. No dinner out, my sister was too busy...story of my life..stayed home. I did go visit my dad. He's doing okay. He's on a ****tail of medication for the prostate cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure...So he has sores on his arms. Sometimes he's unstable on his feet and moves slow but my step mom did NOT want to talk about his medications. We talked about the relatives he remembers that I never knew..and things like when he was going to school in the Broncs..Just talking. He enjoys that. I brought pictures of the family reunion and old photos that I got there.
Not sure why, but I'm down right now..just not feeling much like myself right now.
List for the day:
B: oatmeal shake (sugar free apple cinnamon oatmeal, vanilla protein powder, soy milk and ice)
2B: 3 egg omelet with mushrooms and swiss
L: 4 oz shrimp, sun chips, chef jays oatmeal cookies. I think the cookies might have been too much for me cuz after that, I felt really tired and ended up taking a 2 hour nap.
D: Trader Joes Chicken Patty, 1 slice muenster cheese and 1 T Thousand Island
So the total damage for the day:
Calories: 1752
Fat: 81.0
Carbs: 112.7
Protein: 145.0
Didn't do anything at all, all day long except some house work and laundry. NO shopping, not enough water. I think if I have one more bottle it will be 96 ounces...Pretty crappy day, actually.
How did you do? We all have do-overs tomorrow. Have a happy Sunday.

Hope you are feeling less blah in the morning, dawn. My mom always told me things will be better in the morning and they usually were.

That's two votes for watermelon...I think I'll be getting some of that today, maybe. What are inside out cabbage rolls? I've seen that more than twice now.
I think sometimes you just need a moment or two away from normal. My once a month support group meeting is that for me. I leave work, get my allergy shot, have a dinner and go to the meetings...It's nice to do something totally on my own and for myself only..I feel like everything I do is for everyone else sometimes...and it gets me down at times.
Yes, things are better in the morning. I'm thinking I'm having walmart withdrawls actually. LOL.
You did awesome. volunteer work is so much fun..people are so appreciative of your time. Sometimes we just have to.
Have a great day and end of the weekend. See ya.

I call them inside out cabbage rolls, not sure of the real name.
Shred 1 head of small cabbage and place in a large greased casserole dish. Brown 2 lbs hamburger with 1 large chopped onion,pour on top of cabbage after draining any fat. Mix one can of tomato soup with one can of water and pour on top. I also like cans of chopped tomatoes instead of the soup, the ones with spices in them like Rotel. You can add rice to the hamburger mixture or leave it out, Iused 1/2 c instant brown last time. Cover with foil and bake 30-60 minutes at 350; depends on how big you made it. My husband added cheese to his, I like it either way.
I used to meet my friend once a month for dinner, support group meeting and walmart shopping in Federal way. We have not gone in a long time as she is recently married and my husband is working on wednesdays now, and at $10 an hour for babysutting I have a hard time enjoying myself.
I love my volunteer work. I take blood pressures for anhour twice a month atthe cardiac pool and ask them how they are doing and review their meds with them.
I volunteer at other places as well but not regularly. The hospital i work for is starting a program for overweight teens with type 2 diabetes, I will be helping with that. I never had diabetes but I wish there had been something for me as an morbidly obese teen instead of just shame and ridicule.
I am glad you felt better in the morning, the saying seems corny but I always think back to her saying it to me and it brings me comfort. She has been gone for 14 years this August and I can still hear her voice and laugh; thank goodness for memories!

I have seen that recipe...I really like it! Cheese seems like a natural addition to it.
I sure understand about the babysitting and not getting much enjoyment out of it...LOL. I remember back when my sister and I used to pack up her three and my one and "take it on the road" to go shopping on Saturdays. What a zoo! Fun but it's been YEARS. Her baby is 25 now. LOL. My baby will be 18 in October. At the time, her youngest and my oldest were babies..Seems like just yesterday..and in the same moment, 100 years ago.
I remember things my grandmother used to say to us, fondly as well. She's been gone a LONG time. 22 years this last spring! I can almost hear some of the things in her voice..LOL. And yet, I can't even remember the sound of my mother's voice! She died in 74...too long ago.
That's very cool about the volunteer work and the program for obese teens...Wonderful program!
It just took some thinking about other people besides "poor me" to get me out of my funk...I was much better this morning. Thanks for the post...it really helps.

I was really bad at to much eating today.
L... stopped at burger king and got a whopper jr. and ate 3 ff.
s.... was in Charlotte shopping so stopped at the begal shoP and got a turkey and swiss on wheat begal and got a dozen to bring home.
On the way home stopped and got a s/f slush
D...ate another whole begal with turkey and swiss.
s....a big ass bowel of mixed fruit from wal mart.
during the night I kept thinking about the water melon in the frige and got up around 2 am and ate a big slice with salt on it. wow I got on the scales and I had put on 4 lbs over night. Now I am freaking the fu@k out. Wonder if I can't stop and out of control. I got to get back to my veggies I don't care what the doctor said. Eating unhealthy is going to put all my weight back on. And I have been through hell to get where I am. Think I am going to feed the begals to the birds. I had a nervous day. Another friend of my old work in home health died. I guess I should know they are dying anyway that is why I was going to help them,but couldn't help but love them. Some of them I went in their houses for years and years taking care of them. OH I NEED A ICE COFFEE AND A XANAX....OR......2
AMY
LOL...I know about the dying..Seems people are dying all around me! You know, my favorite saying is "Aint none of us gettin any younger!" and that's true...If you're alive now, you will die someday and some of us are older than others. I'm about 10 years older than you so, I"m headed there first. dh is 15 years older than me so...maybe he'll be there before either one of us (you and me) . It's not a pleasant thought but it's a fact of life.
Don't worry about the four pounds. No way in the world did you eat enough to actually put on four pounds. YOu probably have four pounds of food in your digestive tract and that will be gone in a day! When I don't eat for a day, I can lose 4 pounds from the food that's in my guts. So those four pounds are SUPPOSE to be there. '
Or, from the list you had here there's plenty of sodium in that and you might have gathered some water weight...also gone in a day.
You need to put on four or forty pounds! LOL. And what you put down here wasn't unhealthy eating..
