Thursday went pretty well. I managed to stick to the food plan for the most part. I did add havarti and crackers to my AM snack since I was so hungry and trying to ignore it was starting to get me in trouble. Lunch was right on. PM snack? Don't remember, but it wasn't a banana. Then for supper we grabbed Pizza Hut since I didn't want anyone to stop long with the house project. I had 3 pieces and could have more than stopped at 2 but I at the first one too quickly. Plus some cookies and something else I am sure here and there. Water wasn't bad but not were it should be. Exercise for the day consisted of cleaning the house and getting things in order around here, which kept me busy most of the day. I am still having a problem concentrating on one room at a time, but at least things are getting better all the way around and my house is starting to resemble me again. The 7 months of chaos is starting to disappear!
Of course, I got so into getting things back to normal and was feeling so good about it that I couldn't sleep and ended up being up late working on things. Figures doesn't it?
The great thing? They started putting the color on the house Thursday! What a change, but it is finally coming all together.
Even better? I woke up yesterday to another 1 lb down!
Even after the pizza which is surprizing, so now I am finally on my way towards my Sept goal of 5lbs. We had to take DS to the Dr and I stepped on their scale to double check mine and it is pretty much right on which makes me feel better knowing I have a working scale.
Breakfast was 1 egg omelet w/cheese, 1/2 slice 7 grain toast w/jelly, 1 c grapefruit juice, some hot tea. Lunch was a qtr lbr w/cheese, fries, and some ice tea. We were hoping for Chinese, but had too many errands to stop. PM snack was 2 Oreos. Supper was DQ. I had 4 chicken strips w/gravy, some fries and most of my texas toast, no ice cream!
It didn't even tempt me. I was so full from dinner and I had eaten heavy all day and didn't really feel like adding to that feeling. There might have been some thing else, but I am not sure.
Yesterday was a run around day. DS missed his first field trip because I just had to get him into the Dr. He wasn't sounding good and it turns out he has Bronchitis. Then ran some other errands. Back home, turn around for PT. I almost cried, but held it together. My therapist told me he was proud to have the opportunity to work with me.
He was pleased by my hard work and determination. Of course, I told him that I was coming back to him when they redo the knee down the road. And, I will check back from time to time to keep them updated on my progress. Then we were off house hunting for my DMom. Talk about exhausted by the end of the day!
The house is looking good. Can't wait to see the trim color on. I am debating about ordering the shutters and getting them on or waiting til spring.
This morning, I woke up to a .5 lb loss!
It must be the extra activity I am doing because the food hasn't been great, although the portions have been good. At any rate, I will take what I can get.
Food for the day:
Breakfast - 1 scrambled egg w/cheese (tried the omelet thing and I had too much cheese so it was a mess), 1 slice 7 grain toast w/jelly, 1 c grapefruit juice, 1 c hot tea.
AM snack - banana
Lunch - either a brat from the cookout or ? (depends on if I am shopping)
PM snack - 1 rye crisp bread, lingonberries, havarti
Supper - Freezer choice? Grill? Order out? Fend for yourself? I just don't know!
Goals for the day:
1. Water 60 oz
2. Exercise 30 min
3. Keep on cleaning, organizing, dejunking, or whatever you call it I am doing.
I had planned to go do some shopping for supplies: paint, primer, screening, etc. and look for a few clothes for my interview. But.......DD16 is taking her sweet time this morning and I am already out of the mood. I had planned to leave by now. Then of course, my DMom wants to go this afternoon, but I didn't really want to go that late since I wanted to work on things later. Time for me to start driving again.
So that is the last few days for me......1.5 lbs down!
Better get going. Lot's to do. Everyone have a great weekend!
