April 16. Sat

Good morning everyone.

bread rampage yesterday.  Total calories 1390.  Not much walking.

another brand new day for better choices.

happy Sat!!

113 again.  Better food day with no evening eating. At work for the morning, then probably heading home to do a few chores. 

Carbon, I beg to differ on your description of the unintended bread. At that calorie level it couldn't have been too bad!  I get that you did not plan to do it but minimal damage for sure. Deep breath. Move on

Sunny Saturday here ! I have too many projects going on inside and outside. I'm painting my office, which meant filling holes and sanding. I'm having top soil delivered, and just weeded and mulched front beds, waiting for it to arrive. Nothing feels settled, but I'm having a ball.

Weight is in the zone, but I'm behind in food and water, so I'll get to that.

Have skinny days, all !

Diane I swear your energy is boundless!  What a difference a year makes 

Hi all

Phooey, up to 131. Dealing with crisis with my mother's care and my income taxes are only half done.  At least the sun is out so gloom doesn't make more gloom.   Talked to a  lifelong friend today who is a retired social worker about options for my mom's care. Very helpful. 

Trying to stick to my plan and pretty much doing so.  Stress=weight gain.

Oh boy those are tough decisions and it seems always they're crisis driven.  Hugs

Good afternoon!

Just returned from a 3 hour hike.  We took Buster the dog with us today.  He is only 30 pounds but boy can that 30 pounds pull me off balance much more easily now than before VSG.  A fair amount of the trail was steep inclines/declines.  He and I need some practice working together so neither one of us breaks our necks. 

I still plan to do a yoga class today but might make it a yin class instead of an active class.  

121.8 today.

Enjoy the day!

Skipping at lunch registered as skipping lunch! Hahaha. That should tell you how food oriented I am! And then when I read your trainer recommended it, I thought oh, he must be into interval fasting. Took me a moment for the true message to register! Am glad you giddily and joyously skipped your lunch time away, Shel. 

I got up in a whirl today and actually forgot to weigh. Perhaps a psycho defense mechanism after a day of off plan eating with FAR TOO MANY INDULGENCES IN THE SUGAR/CRAP FOOD CATEGORY. In my mind only two food groups existed yesterday - meat and sweet. Yes, I had a little bit of veggie at dinner and a little bit of salad at lunch, but to be honest, yesterday was all about dessert. Well, I'm honest anyway! 

Something is wrong with my eye. It hurts, my vision is off (blurry) and is a little red. Not crusty though, so I don't think it's bacterial conjunctivitis. Probably viral, but will call the doctor's office just to be safe. It's been going on since Thursday. 

Judging was a lot of fun yesterday. I had nice dogs to go over. My day started at 5:30 am and I did not get home until 10:30 pm. No rest to speak of in between. Got up and had a client dog and groomed for three hours. Needless to say, I'm a bit wiped out. I think I will try to take a nap in a bit. I tend to make really CRAPPY food choices when I'm this tired. 

I took a look at the last two weeks and had to admit I have been under a lot of stress since the pups were born. Not all puppy stress, but several things that by themselves probably would not have been a big deal, but the fact that they all came together seems to have caused a significant level of stress. This would explain a great deal of my odd food wants and difficulty with choices. 

Need to give myself a little pep talk, which means I have to speak it out loud. I'll probably have to confess to Ron the stress and admit binge mode has been triggered. Once I do that, it makes getting back on track easier. Funny how that works! I just hate having to admit that I still have to deal with binging. I know it's who I am, but shee****'s a ***** sometimes!

Important note: I am smiling as I write because, one, I'm happy to know myself so intimately on this level, and two, I love that when it all boils down to it, I'm okay with this side of me, too. While not "ideal" maybe, I'm still in a win-win!

Happy Saturday!  

Hey Kairk, I had a crusty itchy eye problem recently. Did not go away for a month so i went to eye doctor. he thought it was allergic and wanted to know if dogs slept in our bed(of course). He thought the dogs tracked in allergens. I wash the pillow cases more often and he prescribed $120 eye drops. they worked.    hope you feel better soon.

was hoping to meet my Tesla in the next day or two but family crisis looms.    diane s
