Menus and Miles Thursday Sept. 2nd

My Mom is having a partial thyroid removal done next Thursday.  She is in  bad shape mentally and not handling it very well.  We have to give her Iodine 3 times a day and she gets all worked up because it burns....I do the before work dose so my mornings are going to be rushed.

On a Good note:  My little Great Nephew is doing much better.  His blood work and sonars have improved and the swelling in his stomach has gone down a little.  He is almost 4 pounds now.  I have never seen a baby so tiny.  He looked like a little china doll.   Thanks for all of the Prayers...they are working!!!!

 Is it me or did we skip menus n miles on Wendesday ?

yesterday -  2 protein chai teas 

                     slice fat free pizza n popcorn 

                    leftover spicy garlic eggplant with vegan sausage balls ( fatfree )
 
                    afternoon i wanted to binge so bad!!  

                    bit some pecan roll ..... got some meringue cookies gourmet , coffee  frogurt ,

                    hazelnut cookies with chocolate filing , a roast beef sandwich ( which i ate some of the non- fattier beef from)  a chicken ceasar salad ..( which i ate half of )   some toffee, some sugar free chewing gum....sliced smoked turkey n ham, raspberries, bananas , 2  sweet ( but sugarfree ) drinks , a chipotle turkey sandwich ....  Landlord makes out like a bandit after i amass one of my virtual binges lol .....

                      i finally felt safe . like I wouldn't DIE if i didnt get more food ..of course i was ( and am ) still a bit tempted to EAT it ... but ill probably give most to my landlord or LI friends .     Not so hard , thank God .  Maybe 5 glasses water altogether .

this morning- 2 protein chai teas 

                         marinated mushrooms in vinegar (one cup ) 

                          banana

                          raspberries ( 2/3 cup)

                         one fat free everything cracker with promise fat free margarine 


                       weight is back down to 130 thank God ....now to exercise FINALLY . It being 97 degrees out and humid doesnt make it easy but neither is it IMPOSSIBLE .  

BTW  OA is HELPING ...feel stronger ... more like acting out rather than being acted upon .. helplessly tossed and buffeted by the winds of compulsive overeating ****asionally a hurricane force ) .  

 I have been able to get in important business calls rather than running and hiding from them ....  good - a SIGNIFICANT change .

Thank You, but I don't know how wonderful I am...it is very trying at times.  I am the peace maker and sometimes that's really hard.  The worse part is repeating...repeating....repeating, but I feel very blessed that she can still carry on a conversation and she still knows us.

After weigh in I'd like to see you up that Protein total some.
