Wow...look at that protein number. That's great!

Here's my day:
I can't think today for worrying about our little dog. I sure hope he shows up but I'm afraid he just wandered too far..He just started doing that about a month ago. Dangerous stuff when you only weigh 8 pounds and there are hungry critters out there.  

5:00 am 10 oz coffee w/NSA Swiss Miss

6:30 am 1/3 cup quick oats, 1/4 cup fine granule tvp, 1 cup soy milk, splenda and butter buds

7:00 am 24 oz Drink Mix, Hawaiian Punch Lemon Berry

8:30 am 1 oz mozzarella cheese stick,

9:00 am 12 oz V-8 Juice

9:45 am 1 small raw pear

10:20 am 10 oz herb tea, Celestial Seasonings Sugar Cookie flavor

10:45 am 4 oz shrimp, 1/2 oz ****tail sauce

11:30 am 12 oz Drink Mix, Power Edge Tangerine Caffeinated

1:00 pm turkey burger, sandwich thin, 4 slices tomato, slice of processed swiss cheese and 1/2 oz of ****tail sauce..Took me better part of an hour to finish this...Filling stuff..

1:45 pm And then I lost my mind! 3 sugar cookies with soy butter slathered on them. What exactly happened here? I lost any resemblance of a toe hold on my will power...totally gone..I'm stuffed from eating those cookies but I know I'm gonna want to fall asleep later..and I was doing so good too! Maybe cuz I can't get anyone at home to go out and search for that little mutt..I want to be at home and I feel out of control (because I can't take charge of any sort of search party from work..)

2:30 pm 12 oz Drink Mix, Power Edge Tangerine Caffeinated (I feel that headache coming on from the sugar and crap)

4:00 pm 24 oz Drink Mix, GV Fruit Punch

6:15 pm 1 chicken parmegian patty, 1/3 cup mashed potatoes, 1/2 T butter, 1/3 cup frozen mixed veggies

For dessert? Some nice warm herb tea to help me sleep. I also walked some this morning and this evening..I didn't sleep much and I hope I sleep better tonight..

Sorry for the novel writing on this post. it's been one of those mental days..

Totals for the day:
Calories: 1678
Fat: 50.1
Carbs: 170.2
Protein: 147.6

Not as bad as it could have been. When I felt the "out of control" signals, I put the breaks on and backed away from the soy butter..I put the lid on those cookies and grabbed my dignity and slinked back to my desk...ouch. Sad to think that I've come all this way and still struggle with losing control..

 

Dawn,
You probably needed the comfort hormones those cookies sent out to your body. One day is not going to put on 100 pounds. I hope you get some rest tonight.
I am keeping my fingers crossed your little dog shows up. Maybe he is wth a neighbor.
Mary

Thank you for reminding me. It is only one day and I did grab control before it got too bad...

He must have been hiding under a neighbors car. I cried so hard when I saw him this morning that I have a slight headache now..LOL. But it was tears of joy. We've lived here for years and when a small animal (usually a cat) disappears like that, it generally spells disaster for the animal. He weighs less than our cats!

Coyotes are so hungry this time of year. We had parvo go through the coyote pack a few years ago and there aren't as many but we saw some last year and know they'll be back up in numbers and hungrier than ever..

Once i saw a coyote come running through and pick up a cat without even slowing down...I don't think I could have gotten a shot off at him even if I was wearing a gun at the time. I was about 10 yards from that cat too. I heard nothing until the squeek of the cat and the foot pads moving away..

Dawn:

So sorry to hear about your little dog.  I am praying you will find him, that is so hard!  I know we have to be careful with our Portuguese Water Dog when she goes over my mothers house because they have a coyote issue!  One of the "old timers" will sit on his back porch and watch the dogs, shotgun in hand, just in case.  He is always telling us to "be careful".  SO sorry! I can be an emotional eater, that would totally send me there!

I think you did pretty well for going through that!  I hate that sick feeling I get after I eat the sugar stuff, it kicks my butt!

You are so honest with the cookies and soy butter....I think I would be loosing it too!  But you got back in control, good for you!

PS Love that sugar cookie Tea, its so good and I love it at christmas time, it makes me happy!

Happily, he was on the front porch this morning. Not at all sure where he's been but there are faint spots of grease on his back..possibly hiding under a car somewhere...I cried like a BABY!

We've had coyote issues with the cats for YEARS. Once our daughter left her "coyote wise" cat at our house. I was outside and he was too. In the middle of the day a coyote came running full blast and picked him up less than 10 yards from me..nothing left but footprints! And it happens just that fast. Had I been wearing a side arm, I still wouldn't have had time to get off a shot, I don't think. So this small dog, smaller than our cat (they're 12-14 pounds, he's 8) has no chance at all, in my mind. In recent years we've moved to having smaller dogs so I guess it's a worry we're bound to keep.

Yes, that sugar tea is really good. It was a gift from a friend last year and when I'm feeling alittle sorry for myself (which I was), it's always good.

I felt kind of tired and draggy all day. I only rode the sationary bike at the Y. I did 5 miles while watching the news. I would not have done that except I had to go to the Y to take my daughter to her hip hop class; tomorrow is tap.
B-eggs w cheese and 1 bacon
S-apple, baby bel cheese and 3 ritz
L-taco salad over lettuce w 1/2 serving baked tortilla chips
S-baked cheetos and cottage cheese
S-slice of deite pizza before the Y as I was hungry and knew dinner would be late
D-baked chicken and brocoli w a sprinkle of parmeson and salad elegance
S-skinny cow
I feel a bit empty and like I will get the shakes in a bit I think I will go have a piece of cheese or a scoop of cottage cheese. All my water and such.

Getting in enough B-12? Sometimes when I'm feeling run down, I add an extra B-12 just to give myself a boost. Look like you're getting enough protein and not that bad on the carbs but those will tend to make you tired too.

WOO HOO!!!!

SO glad you found your small friend!  I was praying!  Whats his name?  I agree with you, there is no way, if I even knew how to shoot a gun I could get a coyote!  They are sooo fast!  So glad he's still alive and in one piece.  You will find, I pray for everything!  Its just the way i roll!!!

I love the B12 dots from Twin lab.  I get them through Vita-cost and I get the 5000 mg. ones.  I take three a week and it does the job.  Feeling run down myself. It maybe a little seasonal affective disorder.  Havent seen the sun in soooo long!  Cant wait to go to DisneyWorld...21 days and counting.  I just hear it freezing there right now.  I hope, by the time I get there it is sunny!

Congrats on your furry friend, that made me smile!

Now I'm going to go have a cup of tea!
