So....things got stressful and busy in May, but now it's time to start the diet again. I am on vacation for 2 months, so using a different scale than before, but at 9:30 am this morning, the scale read 178 pounds. I took 2 Sudafed at 10AM, chatted online for a bit, ate lunch at 11:30, chatted online more, and eventually went outside to plant flowers from 5-10PM. Then it was time to shower and sleep. No exercise today. (No nasal steriods, no Tylenol, no evening meds) (Left eye got swollen around 11PM)
11:30 AM- Salad (romaine & green leaf lettuce, 2 slices of turkey lunch meat in pieces, goat cheese, pieces of red and yellow peppers, and oil & vinegar dressing)
2 & 3 PM - a sugar free popsicle (both times)
5 & 8 PM - a fudgesicle (No sugar added, but has a sugar substitute, I think.......probably not on diet)
10 PM - Cottage cheese (half of a large container) & salad (romaine & green leaf lettuce, 2 slices of turkey lunch meat
in pieces, feta cheese, and oil &
vinegar dressing)
11PM- another fudgesicle

Good Friday- Easter Sunday
I was fairly good with my diet on Friday until I saw chocolate bread was still left at 5PM. I ate 2 pieces with butter.
Saturday I visited a friend and spent the night, so we pigged out! ;) She left candy and hid plastic eggs around for my friend and I to find. It was hilarious to think of how much fun two grown women were having when finding those eggs. My conclusion was that it must've been the chocolate!!!
Sunday, we had a big Easter meal and then I kept snacking for about 2 hours on little chocolates. Then I went home and was invited to another friend's house for dinner and dessert.
I GAINED 8 POUNDS OVER THE WEEKEND!!! :) Talk about enjoying my friends and FOOD!

Wednesday, April 20th
Long, important phone call from a friend last night. Then couldn't sleep. Woke up in the morning completely exhausted. My head felt really heavy and one of those headaches was coming on, so rather than fight it all day, I called in sick to work. I slept until 2PM and then would wake up and lay in bed thinking and fall asleep again, off and on, until 5:30 PM. Then I got up and had a couple glasses of MILK and went to Bible study, came back, watched a movie and had more milk, and went to bed by midnight.

Friday, April 15th
PAY DAY! :)
8:00 AM - one 6oz. yogurt (Fat free, of course. Strawberry banana flavored)
I took my Sudafed and nasal steroids, but when I tried to do the nasal rinse, it was HORRIBLY PAINFUL!!!!! It surprised me because I've done it several times and it's never hurt. When I FIRST did it, I felt the pressure of it trying to go through all the congestion, but it wasn't painful, just a bit uncomfortable. I waited until the pain subsided and then tried the opposite nostril and went slowly. There's no pain in the nostril area, but UP between and under my eyes. Yes, again....I yelled!!!! AHHHH!!!! PAIN. I stopped. It should NOT hurt like that. The only reason I can even begin to come up with is that I did yesterday's rinse late at night and was attempting to do today's in the morning and perhaps it was just too soon. I don't know, but I won't try again until tomorrow morning. (ENT.......Save me! Ha!)
(Started to feel drainage around 11:30 or so...)
11:45 AM- Salad with cucumbers, feta cheese, 2 slices of turkey lunch meat, and oil & vinegar dressing (Started to feel a bit of pressure in my head and tired around 12:30 PM.)
1:05 PM - Creamsicle (Trying to swallow drainage...need to drink more water.)
2:45 PM - popsicle
*I feel crazy pressure under my eyes. When I move my eyes to the corners (esp looking to the right) I feel the strain. If I bow my head, the pressure builds QUICKLY. I can't move my head up or down for fear of feeling dizzy. Grrr..... And, yes, I still feel drainage. I just want to sleep.
3:30 PM - another popsicle :)
5:30 PM - Cottage cheese & Salad (same as earlier)

Thursday, April 14th
Woke at 6AM, stayed in bed thinking and praying, got up at 6:30 and read a devotion, took a shower around 7, then got ready and worked on bills. (I still have lettuce in the fridge that I've been attempting to wash and cut up since Sunday! Again, I ran out of time this morning!)
7:30 AM - one yogurt
8:00 AM - another yogurt
9:00 AM - yet another yogurt (I am so hungry.)
Forgot to take meds this morning!!!! Took 12-hr Sudafed at 10 AM. (Missed nasal steroids. Will do the rinse tonight.)
10:45 AM - 2 small strips of grilled chicken and then broccoli with hummus
1:00 PM - 2 Creamsicles
*Started feeling tired and dizzy. Lasted about an hour.
2:30 PM - 1 popsicle
4:00 PM - 1 popsicle
7:00 PM - a few spoonfuls of hummus...not really hungry, but it tasted good
Sometime between 6 & 8, I got REALLY tired, really fast, and was going to go home, but decided to just lay on the floor and rest.
11PM -Did nasal rinse, nasal steriods, and took Sudafed. Then I ate one 6 oz. yougurt, then read a book for awhile, and went to sleep.

Wednesday, April 13th
8:00 AM - Took 12-hour Sudafed and nasal steroids. Did a saline
nasal rinse.
9:00 AM - One fried egg, one (6 oz.) strawberry yogurt, and one slice of Friendship bread (BAD. REALLY BAD!! That was bread that was loaded with sugar!!)
1:00 PM - a few bites of cottage cheese, a few pieces of grilled chicken dipped in hummus, and 2 fudgesicles (I didn't feel really hungry.)
2:15 PM - fudgesicle (sugar free)
By 2:30, I felt completely EXHAUSTED!!!!! I was thinking about going home, but then realized it was because of my sinus issues because I felt a bit dizzy and felt pressure in my head behind my eyes. I knew I needed to look up doctors' names and find out if they were covered by my insurance. Around 4:30 I began to feel drainage down the back of my throat (well behind my nose, not yet to my throat) on the left side. I called Mom and she said maybe the Sudafed is working to unplug my sinuses and that's a good thing. I will still pursue an ENT since I've been dealing with this since October and I always get better temporarily, but when I stop the meds, the bad headaches and dizziness (vertigo) return. I also want to know if the polyps I had in December on my left side (found by X-ray) have gone away or not.
8:30 PM - 2 dill pickles, some cheese (not lowfat, tasted like cottage chz, but not as moist), and 6 oz. of yogurt
Went to bed around 11PM.
9:00 AM - One fried egg, one (6 oz.) strawberry yogurt, and one slice of Friendship bread (BAD. REALLY BAD!! That was bread that was loaded with sugar!!)
1:00 PM - a few bites of cottage cheese, a few pieces of grilled chicken dipped in hummus, and 2 fudgesicles (I didn't feel really hungry.)

8:00 PM - A friend* graciously brought me dinner, so again I broke my diet. She brought 4 small square pieces of homemade pizza (crust/bottom, tomato sauce, ground beef, American & Parmesean cheeses, and pepperoni). It was VERY good and VERY filling. I should have stopped at the second or third piece, but I over-stuffed myself and ate all four!
9:00 PM - Took 12-hour Sudafed and nasal steroids.
10:00 PM- fudgesicle
In the afternoon, I got really tired and felt a bit dizzy.
*My friend not only brought me dinner, but when I was making the Amish Friendship bread, she did all of my dishes! Then we talked while the bread was baking, but when I fell asleep in my chair while she was talking a bit after 11PM, I was embarrassed and we decided to fold laundry until the bread was done at 11:30 PM! Now THAT is a great friend! :) I'm so blessed!

Monday, April 4th
I am just restarting my diet. I went off of it when I went out of town for a ladies' weekend March 24-27th, but didn't buy any fresh fruits or veggies before heading home. I thought I could shop the next day, but discovered that my college course work was due THAT Wednesday, rather than the following Wednesday as I'd thought. So, it was time to cram and buy food at our local store....no diet! Then the stress of trying to get all my work done...well, it made for a bad week. I pigged out! Talk about emotional eating!!! At least I only gained about 5 pounds.
Anyway, Monday was a fresh start. I got up at 6 AM to exercise with a friend. We did the 2-Mile Walking Workout with Leslie Sansone. Nothing too exerting, but it was a nice way to start the day and get my blood pumping. I showered and fixed an omelet with 2 eggs and peppers (red, yellow, and orange). I didn't write down any of the times or the foods I ate, but I know it was all OK food for the Phase One of the South Beach Diet. I DID over-do it with probably 4 fudgesicles that day, but hey, a person's gotta have their weaknesses, right? Overall, it was a good day.

Measurements...
I probably should measure myself again, but I'm going to be a busy, busy woman from now until Sunday. Besides, I'm pretty much at a stand-still/plateau with my weight loss. I'm hovering around 180 and I've NOT been exercising, so I don't know that there will be any significant changes. Still, eventually, I'll get more measurements just to compare and track progress. I need to keep moving forward.

I didn't get up until 7:30 this morning, so I got plenty of sleep!
WEIGHT at 7:45 AM was 177 pounds!

OK, so later I was still sad & disappointed, so much so that I couldn't sleep. I gave in and had 6 oz. of yogurt around 11 PM. Even later, around midnight, I pulled the left over fettucini from the fridge, warmed it up and ate it. That was a lot of food. I actually started feeling sick towards the end of it. Simply put, at this point, I DON'T CARE.

Sunday, March 13th
After the long snowmachine ride yesterday and then moving the clock forward, combined with the lack of sleep the night before due to a few middle-of-the-night phone calls, I am feeling TIRED and my eyes are really showing it. (I think it's mostly from being in the cold air all day yesterday, but my right eye is especially puffy and bloodshot.)
10:00 AM - Omelet (2 eggs, chicken, cheese, and cilantro)
12:30 PM - Went out with a friend and ate Fettucini Alfredo w/chicken
4:00 PM - one Fudgesicle
4:30 PM - one Vitamin Water (I've been drinking only water since mid-January.)
I woke up with a headache and took 2 Tylenol around 10AM. By the time I was eating lunch, I could feel it again, but it was too soon to take more medicine, so I tried to ignore it. Later around 5, I was feeling terrible, so I left a friend's house (where she'd made a nice dinner, but the thought of eating just made me feel a wee bit sick) to go home, take more Tylenol, and lay in bed with my eyes covered. After awhile I subsided, so I got up and did a bit of laundry, but then I was exhausted and back in bed and asleep by 8PM.

Missing Days
Sooooo.....I've been horrible at keeping up with my blog lately for a
variety of reasons, BUT, the good news is that I've stayed on my diet
for the most part. I've been doing The South Beach Diet for awhile and
am in Phase 2. I've only strayed from it a few times like last
Saturday when a student brought me 4 chocolate chip cookies, and last Monday when a coworker made some cookies for me also. ( I think I had about 4 of those also, and gave the rest away.) On Thursday, March 3rd, I hit the 20 pounds mark. The scale read 180!!!!
Now, I've had a girls' weekend and pigged out. It'll be interesting to see what the scale says when I get back home. I guess I'm not too worried. I plan to start my diet again on Monday!

I had second helpings of white rice with Chinese casserole (cream of mushroom soup, chicken, celery, and crispy chow mein noodles on top). Then I ate about 7 oatmeal, butterscotch cookies along with 2 scoops of vanila ice cream. BAD, but YUMMY!

Monday, February 7th
Time to be honest. Since I'm an emotional eater (normally) perhaps I'd better include some of my emotions.
After church, my friend and I were grocery shopping. I started feeling dizzy. Urgh. Not again. I know I just finished my antibiotics Thursday, but.... Well, maybe I could just be tired since I'd stayed up with 1AM both Friday and Saturday nights to watch movies. Surely THAT was why I was dizzy. (Later when watching the Superbowl, I was careful not to move my head quickly as I was still a tinge dizzy. Even later than that, when I got up from my recliner to show a friend to the door, I told her my body felt heavy. I found that odd.)
Yesterday on the ride back from church, I don't know what triggered it, but my mind went back to some events that bring great sorrow. I cried a bit, told myself I'm not that same person, and moved on. At the Superbowl party, I teared up because that same issue came back to mind. I drank some water and focused on the game. Then at home last night, I finally let myself be sad and angry. I SOBBED. I haven't cried that hard in awhile. I exhausted myself, so I ended up going to bed around 9:30. (I was texting a friend for a bit, though, so probably didn't sleep until around 10.)
I woke up on my own and felt completely wide awake, but when I looked at my watch and it said 4AM, I decided I would NOT get up. I woke again at 6AM and laid in be until about 6:30, but could no longer stand it, so I got up to do some things around the house. I felt like I'd had plenty of sleep. Still I felt a bit odd; like maybe I was coming down with something. Then after making 2 phone calls (to credit card companies to check on my recent transactions), I noticed my headache and that I was getting dizzy - FAST. I texted a coworker that I'd need to lay down and didn't know when I'd be able to make it to work. I took Sudafed and Ibuprofen. I tried to do work, but couldn't because I was so dizzy. I laid in bed for about 30 minutes and then texted that I was going to work! Well, then I got out of bed and had to sit right back down. Forget that idea! URGH! Long story short, I finally went to work around 12:30, and was still a little dizzy.
Around 3PM, my headache came back. This is just like my pattern back in November and December! I decided to call and try to make an appointment to be seen by the doctor again. (Closed. Left message.) I don't think it's lack of sleep because I ended up sleeping from 9-10 AM this morning and then having cat naps until around 11. Then this evening when I felt bad (my temp was 99.4), I laid down on the couch and slept for an hour. I don't think it's my eyes since I wasn't on the computer alot today and my headache started first thing this morning and only came again when the medicines wore off. Someone suggested stress. Though my job IS VERY stressful, I'd been relaxing and watching lots of movies this weekend. (Yes, I cried hard last night, but I wasn't thinking about that this morning.) Who knows????
OK....now that I'm done whining and trying to figure things out, let me go ahead and tell you all what I ate today:
I was going to have eggs for breakfast, but since I was feeling bad and fading fast, I quickly ATE (not slowly letting it melt in my mouth like normal) a Fudgesicle and went to bed.
Around 11AM, I scrambled 2 eggs and forced myself to eat them.
Around 1PM, I was feeling hot, so I ate 2 Creamsicles.
At 8:30 PM, I ate a small bowl of Jello.
Now I'm going home to put in a movie and try to sleep. If my headache is too bad to sleep, then I might have to give in to more medicine, but I really don't want to take it so often... I'm not hungry and just don't care at all about eating today.
Hope I feel better tomorrow.
After church, my friend and I were grocery shopping. I started feeling dizzy. Urgh. Not again. I know I just finished my antibiotics Thursday, but.... Well, maybe I could just be tired since I'd stayed up with 1AM both Friday and Saturday nights to watch movies. Surely THAT was why I was dizzy. (Later when watching the Superbowl, I was careful not to move my head quickly as I was still a tinge dizzy. Even later than that, when I got up from my recliner to show a friend to the door, I told her my body felt heavy. I found that odd.)
Yesterday on the ride back from church, I don't know what triggered it, but my mind went back to some events that bring great sorrow. I cried a bit, told myself I'm not that same person, and moved on. At the Superbowl party, I teared up because that same issue came back to mind. I drank some water and focused on the game. Then at home last night, I finally let myself be sad and angry. I SOBBED. I haven't cried that hard in awhile. I exhausted myself, so I ended up going to bed around 9:30. (I was texting a friend for a bit, though, so probably didn't sleep until around 10.)
I woke up on my own and felt completely wide awake, but when I looked at my watch and it said 4AM, I decided I would NOT get up. I woke again at 6AM and laid in be until about 6:30, but could no longer stand it, so I got up to do some things around the house. I felt like I'd had plenty of sleep.

Sunday, February 7th
9AM- Omelet (3 eggs, 2 slices of turkey lunch meat, and some cheddar cheese cooked with olive oil) I was SO stuffed about halfway through the omelet that I didn't want to finish eating it, but I knew I'd be in church so would have no morning snack AND I didn't want to waste food.
1PM- Salad with iceburg lettuce, cucumbers, Provolone cheese, and oil
Sunday afternoon I went to a friend's house for a Superbowl party. I had a bite of halibut, lots of sugar free Jello, and 2 Fudgesicles.
That evening, back at home, I sliced up and fried one zucchini, had a spinach salad with chicken breast and topped with basalmic vinegarette. I finished my night with 1 Creamsicle and 1 Popsicle - both sugar-free, of course.
I notice that I don't really feel hungry often. I don't have cravings. Even though I WANT my sweet desserts, I don't crave them. I could do without them, but I treat myself. Nice feeling!

8 AM- 1/2 a cucumber, sliced, with hummus
10AM- a big bowl of sugar free Jello
12:45PM- YUMMY salad (mixed greens, 3 slices of turkey lunch meat, olive oil and vinegar, Mrs. Dash seasoning, feta cheese, and sliced almonds) then a few spoonfuls of 2%milkfat cottage cheese w/salt & pepper
5PM- lots of broccoli and 3 stalks of celery with hummus (I finished off the 10 oz. container I'd opened this morning)
It's 7:30 and I'm leaving work, but taking work home with me. (-sigh-) I'm sure, with the almost overwhelmed mood I'm in, that I'm going to LET myself have about 4 or so Fudgesicles! Emotional eating....Bring it on!!!
(Here's how I'm justifying it. This is Day 3 of the South Beach Diet and the book says I can eat as much as I want of any of the foods allowed in a certain phase and still be okay. I'm sure the idea is that I can eat as much as I need to feel full....not to gorge myself on Fudgesicles, but as I've not completely read all the chapters, I'm going to run with this little loophole tonight! I'm so bad.)

Sunday, January 30th
I had a few swigs of water to take my meds and ate a piece of string cheese around 9:30 this morning. I drove around on my snowmachine, got stuck in deep snow and had to dig my machine out (mini workout), went to church, and then began typing some of my thoughts about life so I can quit having them bounce around randomly in my brain. Now it's 5PM and I am hungry! Time to eat. I'll have to post in the comment section about what I eat this evening! (Oh, and I'll try to weigh myself tomorrow morning!)
Saturday, Jan. 29
9AM - Lemonade to take my medicine, but in too much of a hurry to eat.
2PM- Gyro sandwich, fries with katsup, sweet tea (2 glasses), and a chocolate milkshake (I ate WAY too much and had a stomachache for awhile.)
8PM- 2 bowls of hamburger stew (with potatoes and carrots), 2 buns, and a bowl of chocolate ice cream
**I did, however, exercise a bit. At my friends' house that night, we played Dance, Dance Revolution and I danced 2 songs. (Proud Mary is a butt-kicker, but TONS of fun!) And earlier that afternoon, I chipped ice and shoveled snow from boardwalks for about an hour. It wasn't a lot of exercise, but I was so glad I finally felt healthy enough to do it without getting completely out of breath or having it start a headache!
It was a good day!

I've been SO busy with work, so I haven't been posting regularly. I've been trying to write down everything I eat, but I've fallen so far behind....
I know I had something to take medicine with in the morning, but I'm not sure what....probably a glass of Slim Fast??
Work was crazy, so I had no morning snack and no real lunch break, but finally around 2:00 PM, I ate a bowl of microwavable Thai food (Pad Thai, I think). It was very, very filling!
5PM- snack - bag of Cinnamon Apple Chips
I can't find a note for what I ate that evening.

This morning I woke with pressue in my head behind my eyes and a lot of drainage which was hard to shallow (thick).
9:00 AM- Slim Fast & salad w/Italian dressing
11:30- mug of apple cider
12:00- lots of pasta w/ tomato and meat & finished the other 1/3 of the pint of Cherry Garcia
6:30 PM- Cholcolate candy & 2 handfuls of butter popcorn (at school)
9:00 PM- Two chicken & cheese enchiladas, 4 Roma tomatoes with 3 slices of Swiss cheese melted on top of those tomato slices....YUMMY!)
Between 9-11 I watched a movie and opened another pint of Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia. I like to eat the melted parts along the sides. I was engrossed in the movie and didn't pay attention to my eating until I looked down near the end of the movie and saw that I ate nearly the whole thing. Since it was so close, I just finished it off.

NOTE: I went to bed at 9:30 because of my huge headache, but I still couldn't sleep until around midnight.

Saturday, Jan. 15- Almost a Wasted Day...
Woke up at 6:30 and laid in bed just thinking about one thing, then another thing....Got frustrated & angry about an issue, cried a bit, and then got my rear out of bed! Wandered aimlessly for a few minutes until deciding to sew up the holes in the inside liner of my snowpants. (It's been getting worse over the years.) So, I popped in a movie that I've had for a month and have been needing to return anyway. I was still feeling angry and sorry for myself, so I DID IT..... I returned to the old me, the old destructive pattern....I ate junk! I was being a cranky, whiny butt and frankly didn't care about a stinkin' diet plan. "I blew it last night, so who cares??? Let's just blow it for another day!!!!"
I ate about 8 Oreo-type cookies dunked in milk. Then I snacked on some Doritos (probably would've been as many as are in one of those GrabBags). Not a healthy breakfast! Ha!
(WOW!!! THIS IS EXACTLY THE PATTERN THAT LED ME DOWN THIS PATH OF SLOW SELF-DESTRUCTION. IT IS THIS PRECISE WAY OF THINKING - FEELING SAD AND DEFEATED- THAT MUST GO!!!! Of course, I can say this now because it's a day later, but while I'm in the pits, it's hard to talk myself out of it. I need to have something to do each day as soon as I get up, so I don't lay in bed and just think...."The idle mind is the Devil's playground." Perhaps I now see some truth in that old saying.)
Around 2PM, I had a gyro sandwich (pita bread with lamb and cucumber ranch-like dressing with a few tomatoes for garnish) and french fries, water to drink, and a chocolate milk shake -not because I needed that, but because it was what my normal order at that restaurant was and I felt like having it. No self-discipline even attempted.
A bit later in the afternoon, I got a headache....one of those normal sinus pressure ones. Then around 5:30 I started feeling dizzy so I laid down. I talked to my uncle on the phone for over an hour (which was great because I felt like hours of my life were just going to be wasted since I was to dizzy to really do anything...including watching TV or reading a book. Grrrr....) Then I got tired around 7PM and told some friends I'd take a little nap, but probably hang out with them later! HA! I was completely OUT until 6:30 the next morning! The good thing there is that I ate no dinner!!!! :)
An odd day, but I sewed my snowpants, can return a movie and get a new one in the mail, and I helped a friend!!! Not nearly as productive as I imagined my Saturday would be, but we can't predict headaches. I think I'm just going to have to allow for more rest time until I kick this sinus infection.
I ate about 8 Oreo-type cookies dunked in milk. Then I snacked on some Doritos (probably would've been as many as are in one of those GrabBags). Not a healthy breakfast! Ha!
(WOW!!! THIS IS EXACTLY THE PATTERN THAT LED ME DOWN THIS PATH OF SLOW SELF-DESTRUCTION. IT IS THIS PRECISE WAY OF THINKING - FEELING SAD AND DEFEATED- THAT MUST GO!!!! Of course, I can say this now because it's a day later, but while I'm in the pits, it's hard to talk myself out of it. I need to have something to do each day as soon as I get up, so I don't lay in bed and just think...."The idle mind is the Devil's playground." Perhaps I now see some truth in that old saying.)
Around 2PM, I had a gyro sandwich (pita bread with lamb and cucumber ranch-like dressing with a few tomatoes for garnish) and french fries, water to drink, and a chocolate milk shake -not because I needed that, but because it was what my normal order at that restaurant was and I felt like having it. No self-discipline even attempted.
A bit later in the afternoon, I got a headache....one of those normal sinus pressure ones. Then around 5:30 I started feeling dizzy so I laid down. I talked to my uncle on the phone for over an hour (which was great because I felt like hours of my life were just going to be wasted since I was to dizzy to really do anything...including watching TV or reading a book. Grrrr....) Then I got tired around 7PM and told some friends I'd take a little nap, but probably hang out with them later! HA! I was completely OUT until 6:30 the next morning!

Odd Sleeping Schedule
So, my body may finally be readjusting to the change in time zones, but it's sure odd right now. I was VERY tired last night around 8:30, so I popped in a movie and laid on the couch, thinking I'd let myself fall asleep. The movie was too good. (SALT) I did, however, promptly fall asleep once it was over around 10PM. (That's early for me.)
I woke up around 2:30 and couldn't get back to sleep, so I finally got up and did some things around the house. I thought I was up for the entire day, so around 3:30AM I drank Slim Fast and took Sudafed since I was starting to feel dizzy again. Around 4AM, I went back to sleep. (It took me awhile to get to sleep and I had a crazy dizzy spell while laying in bed. Crazy. I'll be SUPER thankful when I have a day where I feel completely healthy again! People, don't take it for granted!!!!! THIS is another reason I need to do this blog and lose weight....so I can be healthy for the long haul!)
Ate 2 bananas before lunch. (Can't remember when.)
Ate 2 boiled eggs and a few pieces of beef jerky around 10AM.
Ate 1/2 a container of cottage cheese and had a fourth of a Health bar around 12:45PM.
Headache started up again around 4PM. Grr. Took Sudafed and waiting for it to kick in. Feeling a bit dizzy now (5PM), but at least during the workday I felt pretty good.
Plan to go home and fix homemade salsa (tomatoes, onions, cilantro, jalapenos, garlic salt, lime or lemon juice) and taco salad (crushed Doritos, ground beef with taco seasoning, iceburg lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, salsa, & French dressing). Might watch a movie or balance my checkbook - will depend on my mood when that time arrives. For now, I've got to stay late at work and get some things finished. :)

January 13th
8AM- Slim Fast & Sudafed
Not hungry all morning.
Munched on a few pieces of candy (Tootsie Roll, Toosie Pop, gum, maybe two other pieces of candy)
Went to another clinic. Got a different antibiotic for my sinus infection. (Dizzy all day today.)
7:30 PM- 2 bowls of stir fry (brown rice, broccoli, cauliflower, chicken, and soy sauce)-Friends' house
8:30 PM- small bowl of cottage cheese, a Gogurt, and Viatmin Water (to take meds)
Not bad. Surprised that I wasn't hungry most of the day. *Need to drink more water! **Need to exercise, but will be cautious now due to the antibiotic I'm taking...can cause tendons to rupture.

WORK DAY
I woke up early again - at 5:30 AM. That's crazy! I'm sure it'll wear off soon! I must admit it was nice to NOT feel rushed. I awoke with an awful headache, though. I wanted to exercise (in my heart), but it hurt to simply open my eyes even in the dark room. After laying there willing myself to get up, I finally tried to have a devotion (blurry vision, like when my eyes are tired after a long day) and then did my saline nasal wash. Feel the burn....love the burn! Miserable. It DID provide relief for about an hour, though! I've been dizzy all day, but Sudafed in the morning and early afternoon has added relief to the headaches also! So, with all that, I walked about 1/2 a mile, but not fast, so it was minimal exercise.
As far as food goes:
Breakfast: bowl of apple cinnamon oatmeal
Late morning snack: a few bites of beef jerky and a 2 oz. bag of trail mix (minus the raisins)
Lunch: Peanut butter and jelly on a bagel, a can of mandarin oranges, a handful of tortilla chips with spinach dip, and a handful of plain M&Ms.
* Only drank one 20 oz bottle of water today. Need to do better on this!
Dinner will be at a friend's home tonight and it'll be late. (Can I help it that I'm a social butterfly? Ha!)
All in all, not a bad day!

Two Missing Days
So, January 9 & 10 are pretty much unaccounted for. I can promise that I pigged out....more than any of the previous days. The 9th was the last day of vacation and the 10th was a LONG day of travel! Today, January 11th, I'm exhausted. Switching time zones can be a chore. However, I already exercised for 15 minutes with my Wii Fit program. I did mainly aerobics, but a few balance games. Then I went to the clinic for this sinus infection that is an unwanted, but very loyal, companion to me!
Breakfast: 8oz Skim Fast
Lunch: beef jerky (a good portion) and 4 oz Mountain Trail Mix w/o the raisins (peanuts, almonds, cashews, and M&Ms) washed down with a Powerade
Dinner may not be very healthy as I may go to people's homes and be socially expected to eat. I'll play that by ear.

This is Why I'm Fat
I love how a day can start off so well and then go so wrong! Ha! Again, I'm so happy that I could care less about my poor eating habits, but I must be honest and write down everything I ate for accountability. I can let myself off the hook for now, but must also recognize that THIS is why I'm fat!
Breakfast- none
Lunch- salad (mixed greens, red peppers, cauliflower, Italian dressing), veggie burger w/cheese & thin bun and Italian dressing. A big slice of cake and 2 scoops of ice cream.
Snacking- Peanut brittle!!!!
Dinner- Veggie casserole (tomatoes, milk, eggs, green beans, cheese, zucchini, and some other stuff) YUMMY! More cake and ice cream....HAD to finish it!
Snacking after 9PM- more peanut brittle.

The Plan
For those that may think by now, day 7, that I'm just full of hot air, I want you to know I really am hatching a plan in the back of my mind. Right now I'm still on vacation, so establishing a routine is not going to happen until I get back home in a few more days. Then I've got Slim Fast and several exercise DVDs just quietly calling my name!!! THEN I'll try to get measurements and start recording and tracking my weight. Until then, I will try to not pig out and make decent to smart choices.....
Bad Eating, but Carefree Feeling
So I slept in and skipped breakfast. Lunch was looking pretty good - salad, veggie burger with veggie cheese, and water. Then we added Activia yogurt. No problem. Then....that cake was still sitting on the counter. Yes, it's the one we all cut into last night and the same one that my lovely friends got as a gift at Christmas and carefully wrapped in Saran Wrap and put in the freezer until I arrived. Did I feel like having a piece of cake? "No, I'll wait until dinner." But then, the husband decided to have a piece. With a twinkle in her eye, the wife decided to have a small piece also. There wasn't really any pressure one way or the other for me, but I didn't need it. I was just feeling so darn carefree that I just said, "Oh, give me a piece!" Then I added 2 scoops of ice cream, because what is cake without it's sidekick? I chuckled in my mind, thankful that I'd tried their exercise bike for a mere 5 minutes that morning. :)
Anyway, we walked a bit in a mall and had tea and a piece of pumpkin bread that afternoon. In the evening I ate a burrito-in-a-bowl....kind-of a mexican salad: rice, black beans, tomatoes, sour cream, hot sauce, lettuce, cheese, and chicken. YUMMY! Then I had more cake and ice cream! HA!
Bad day for my eating, perhaps, but a great day for my spirit! We just talked and laughed and cried and prayed.... My friends bless me SO much! I'm so glad they've taken time out of their lives just to be with me!

Travel Day (Jan.6)
Slept really well in a comfy bed, took an amazing HOT shower, got packed up, and went to breakfast at IHOP with my friend! I had 3 strips of bacon, 2 fried eggs, and 2 crepes with yogurt, granola, and fruit on them! YUMMY! I had water this morning and now I'm drinking a Vitamin Water and waiting for my plane! So far so good.

SHAME
So I stayed up all night to do work and wanted to snack around 4AM, but resisted. (GOOD.) I sipped on my Raspberry tea all night and that was it. However, this morning, I wasn't hungry, but had to take food with my medicine AND I happened to be driving by a McDonald's (Everyone can sigh or gasp here!) and I decided to drive-thru and order my old favorite: QuarterPounder meal deal. I was telling myself the entire time that it was stupid to sabatoge myself on the very day that I told so many of my friends about my weight loss attempt. I mean, REALLY!!! Still, a little voice in my head said I should be able to indulge. It's not like I'm going to have access to fast food by this time next week. So....I did it. I ordered the meal deal and decided to be slightly healthy and get a Powerade to drink. Then in the next millisecond, I decided to have a "snack size" Oreo McFlurry. Ha! Was I crazy? I have to laugh at myself; the inner war and the justifications that come so easily. For years I've just not thought about my patterns. Now I have to laugh! So, I ate ALL of those greasy fries on the drive home. (They weren't even great, but that familiar taste and the salt....yum. Gross. Just writing this I'm conjuring up a picture of an uber fat gal enjoying her food just a bit too much!) I ate the burger, the ice cream (my weakness) and had the Powerade.
Then I did nothing except catnap, play on the computer, and try to make arrangements to fly to another state tomorrow and visit more friends! Dinner was a few chicken tenders and a few bites of potatoes. I'm stuffed. (Must still be from the lunch! Ha!) This doesn't mean that if my friend that comes to pick me up this evening wants to go out to eat together I won't eat again. I'm sure I'll conjure up some reason like not wanting her to feel awkward or that I won't get to go out to eat for another 6 months or some other fitting-for-that-moment reason to justify whatever I feel like doing then. (Are you gathering that it's a self-control issue? I need to curtail my spending also. DISCIPLINE is what I need!)
Well, now that I've sufficiently exposed myself and my weaknesses enough for one day, I hope you can feel free to join this journey alongside me. Feel free to comment, to laugh, to cry, to shout, to roll your eyes, etc, etc, but hold on because this rollercoaster is just getting going!!! Hee! Hee! I can't stop now.....and THAT is GOOD!

Day Two
Staying at a home preparing to be sold, so no fridge, no beds...just sleeping bags on floors. Breakfast was 2 glazed Krispy Kreme donuts. Church. Lunch with friends at Texas Roadhouse (2 rolls with honey butter, BBQ chicken, and green beans. Drank water with lemon. THAT was a good choice.) Went to friend's house, talked & watched TV. Drank 2 glasses of sweet tea and had a bowl of caramel popcorn and then the loaded sweet potato (with marshmallows and brown sugar) for an afternoon snack. Finally ended the day at another house to play a Kinect dancing game (only 2 small portions of songs) and play game- Buzz Word. Ate dinner at 8PM - spaghetti and salad - kids' portion. Capri Sun and water to drink. Then had a piece of cheddar cheese and drinking a chocolate milk that I picked up at the gas station on the way home. Night.
First Day of the New Year
I'm on vacation and traveling. Woke up, ate a bowl of Cinnamon Crunch cereal, took Augmentin and Prednisone for my sinus infection, rode 5 hours in a car, ate french fries and a Buffalo grilled chicken pita wrap with bacon and cheese and had a large lemonade. Went out with a friend for dinner and had cheese and chocolate fondu with a flavored tea. Doesn't sound like a diet, but at least I didn't snack between meals!
