Accountability - Thursday

What a day! Started out finding out that Kyla waited just long enough for her owner (Daniel, our neighbor) to get home and carry her home and then she died. It's obvious to me that she held out until he got back. The stress at work is horrible...I really need a nice quiet weekend...Hopefully this weekend will be the one!
 

5:30 am 10 oz coffee w/NSA Swiss Miss 6:00 am 1 cup plain soy milk, 1/4 cup fine granule tvp, 1/2 cup blueberries, 1/3 cup quick oats 7:00 am 24 oz Drink Mix, SoBe Strawberry Banana 8:20 am 1 medium apple 9:00 am 10 oz herb tea 11:00 am 1/2 salad: 4 oz chicken breast, 1 cup lettuce, 1/2 tomato, 1 oz raspberry vineigrete 11:30 am 24 oz Drink Mix, Fruit Punch 12:05 pm beef taco: 2 oz ground beef, 1/2 oz cheddar cheese, 1 taco shell, 1 T salsa (and some of the bun my husband didn't eat...white carbs! argh) 2:00 pm 24 oz Drink Mix, Orange Caffeinated 3:15 pm 1 hard boiled egg 3:45 pm 24 oz Drink Mix, Raspberry White Tea 4:30 pm 24 oz Drink Mix, Strawberry 6:30 pm 4 oz chicken thigh, 1 oz jack cheese, 1T salsa, a couple slices of red potato For dessert: 1 slice of sugar free lemon loaf...more carbs. Oh well. Totals for the day: Calories: 1568 Fat: 66.4 Carbs: 131.6 Protein: 119.3 Not all that great. Before dessert I was doing good..That last 19 grams of carbs really killed my totals..But I really needed it.   So? How did you do?

Morning Dawn!  Yesterday was a struggle eating day.  I really had to focus on getting in a shake last night after dinner, I just didn't feel hungry.  This tends to happen when I'm doing low carb.....darn trying to find that happy medium is still a struggle.

Wow, you really didn't eat much...I bet the only place you can post something like "I only ate 800 calories today" is here cuz WW would just die to keep that total so low..LOL. It's funny how the outside world thinks we're bragging but it's just not so. Only getting 800 calories can be a problem if, to maintain, you need 1400...

I looked down the list for carbs and isn't it amazing how all those little tiny numbers add up? I struggle just to keep the carb number BELOW the protein number...hehehh.

Keep up the good work! See ya.

I am so glad the owner got to be there when the cat passed away. Work stress;yuck!! We bought a new car last night. Our old one did not qualify for the cash for clunkers but we needed one as the tranny was going out. Not the best day but certainly not the worst and it was a rest day so no exercise. I had no time anyway, once off work we were at the car dealership until 9.
0700-EAS RTD drink
0930-WW breakfast sandwich
1130-1/2 cliff bar
1330-grilled chicken w onions, refried beans and a smidge of sour cream
1600-deli meat, lf cheese and rf wheat thins
1730-other half of cliff bar- not worth the calories and carbs
1930-handful of trail mix
2130-grilled chicken from mcdonalds with the top bun removed and a few of my husbands fries
I was pretty close to getting all my water in, but just remembered I forgot my calcium. I will take todays now! I am ready for the weekend! I am running a 5K, getting a haircut and my nails done,going to a wedding picking up my daughter from a sleepover slumber party, going to a kids play all on Saturday! Sunday will be nothing but church and housework maybe a run.

I know! My old car doesn't qualify either because it gets too good of gas mileage...That's okay. I don't know any other V8 on the road that gets the mileage mine gets...LOL. dh put a performance chip in the electronics and now my 4.6L V8 gets over 20 miles to the gallon no matter HOW I drive and I have a lead foot..Actually, i wouldn't trade it in anyway. With a mechanic husband, my cars last a long long time and I haven't had to make any payments in almost 30 years.

Your weekend looks really busy. We're probably going to have to help that same neighbor move from one house to another this weekend. He's losing the big house that he built and borrowed against to fight his ex-wife on trumped up charges several years ago...and now he's having to move back into the little house that he also built. He borrowed more on the big house than it was worth...So, we'll be getting new neighbors I figure...Just have to get him moved out.

List still doesnt' look too bad. It's really hard when things are hectic, to keep a focus on the food but it will come back. Days can be off track and still not completely wreck the course...Keep it up. Keep after it. See ya.

Oh Lord I was so fu@ked up on xanax I could have ate the kitchen and wouldn't remember. I even went to mcdonalds and I drove because I found a teenie baby I got in my happy meal. It was the one I was wanting. A pink (flimango) no clue how to spell that. Today I feel like I have had the **** beat out of me. bruises from head to toe and carpet burns on my kneese and all over my arms. I hope to God that never happens again. I am just thankful that the bath tub was empty. I would have drowned if it was full. I stayed knocked out a long time. Now my kids are fighting because I was alone. They don't want me alone. But I do. I got to have my alone time. But one good thing is I woke up this morning my weight was 110. yaaaaaa. The doctor said it was from the 5 bags of fluids that I would p it out. And I sure have been pping. Now they have me on xanax every 4 hours. The 2mgs. ones. Wooo Hooo. l can go on vacation and never leave the room. lol. Love ya Dawn. And your hubbie too.You got a good one. God bless both of yaw.

Good that your weight is up but you better start eating like a maniac to put more weight on and keep tha****er weight number that is on the scale...

Are they at all concerned about how much Xanax you're taking. I took that stuff before but never ever got so medded out that I fell down..That's got to be the blood pressure. I know mine is 77 over 61 some days but still...your's must be like zero over zero or something...Heavens...Flat line is NOT a good thing..

Alone time? For what? I set up my bedroom for any alone time I need and close the door and sit on the recliner in there and just sit, read, watch television,play video games (dexter and I have discovered computer Mahjong...addictive!) ...But someone can be in the next room. If they hear me hit the floor, they can come and get me off that floor.

I have been on xanax for 3 years now. I can eat them like a m&m. lol I guess I am the nut in the m&m. They keep me calm. And God knows I need that now. My kids are driving me crazy. They really hate each other. I mean that. They really do. And seems like they catch me in the middle of the **** I think they are the ones that need the xanax. That is the only vacation I get. lol I can take a xanax and go to the beach or mountains just sitting in my chair. I need that little get a way. The doctor is the one that put me on the 2mg. I took 1mg. so long they didn't help. Without them my heart rate will go up to 211. It beats out of control. I guess I will just have to live on them. And gotta admit I don't mind. Hell I anit right in the head anyway. Thank you and your hubby so,so much for caring and listening to me whine. I am so glad you and him are on here. It is nice to talk to someone. 

Love yaw

I'm just worried that your hurting yourself with that stuff...If your skin is getting yellow, that's a sign of liver damage and that's really bad..

Maybe you could take halves during the day and a whole one before bed? It's been so long since I had to take them that I don't really remember anymore..

Sure glad to see you here, it's been a week or so. Yes, we were concerned, we talk about you alot.
 The weight seems good. I know very little about xanax, I will ask DW tonight about it. Keep up the posts, we look for you all the time. Take care.
