Good Morning!

The scale monster got me this morning. I weighed in and am down 4 lbs already!! Whoo hoo! Wow, that tells me Ive really been blind and must have convinced myself that I wasnt being that bad. Im on a mission. Im calling it 40 before 40. I turn 40 this year (not until October) and I plan on losing a minimum of 40 lbs this year. Im finishing the loss and working to maintenance. This foolishness is over!

Went to Zumba last night and half way thru my blood sugar dropped. I was working hard too. I could feel my legs getting shaky and started getting the tunnel vision so we had to leave early. My 17 year old daughter comes with me on Weds. I had a hard candy mint in the car and that helped until I could get home to dinner.

Today's eats:

Coffee w/ cream
Banana
Garden salad and Zone Bar
Apple and cheese stick
Dinner will be BLT on Flatbread wrap.
WW Giant fudge bar

Found these wonderful Flatbreads by La Tortilla Factory  They actually taste GOOD! I could eat it plain. They have 4-7 grams of fiber and 7-9 grams of protein depending on if you get the whole wheat or traditional. I have traditional, because I didnt see wheat. Highly recommend!

 Good job on the 4 pounds!  You can reach your goal this year!  Especially with your husband on board.

Thanks Tess!! Im excited (:

Thanks. But don't they have loads of net carbs?  I am hooked on the flat-out wraps.  Not sure if you tried them. And I can buy them in Costco...   so additional savings.. They freeze very well

Forgot to tell you good luck with your sleep study! I didnt sleep at all for mine and I was afraid they would make me come back, but apparently they got enough. I wouldnt wish a sleep study on anyone. Hope they find something to help you get some sleep!

I go weeks on and off sleeping/insomnia since rny. All in all, I'd still take the insomnia over 298 lbs.

Thanks!
Over the years, I've been on every type of sleeping med, but my body finally said no more.  I've been doing the 2:00 wake-up for well over 1-1/2 years.  Nothing helps.  I know that I won't have any problem going to sleep, I don't think my head hits the pillow and I'm sleeping!  Just looking forward to getting some answers.

I havent been able to get any of my docs to let me try any Rx. I have my own ****tail I make when I cant sleep. One benadryl and  two OTC sleeping pills dpending on how bad it is. I'll still wake up at 2:30-3am though. I understand how awful it is...then I stress cause I have to get up for work and at that point you NEVER fall back to sleep! I try to stay up later, but Im just so tired I'll fall asleep and not even realize it.

Good morning all!

Breakfast: protein coffee, two eggs
Snack: coffee, cottage cheese
Lunch: salad of sardines, tomato, edamame, and cheddar
Snack: string cheese and celery
Dinner: not sure, maybe salmon?
Snack: we'll see if I'm feeling savory or sweet
