Hello everyone. Today being Saturday, I slept in late, particularly since I had so little sleep last night. I got up around 12:30. I made my lemon water and tea. My darling daughter did not want to do it for me today. I guess the glitz has warn off for her. I ate my yogurt and an apple - which thankfully was crisp and cold!
I spent the day sitting around waiting for my dad to come take me to the hospital to visit Automn, and I wrote letters and blogged while waiting. He never showed up. I called him around 6 to see what happened, and found out that Automn had a lot of visitors again, and she had asked him to get them all out, so he forgot about me, but said he would come tomorrow. I just hope it won't be too late. He made funeral arrangements for her today already. It's just breaking my heart. Did I mention that she has three children five and under? Whew! It's tough not to just sit and cry. I love you girl!
I did not have a second fruit today because I got up too late to have it by 2 p.m. , so I skipped it. I made stir fry for lunch - it was just as fabulous as it was last night. Crispy, fresh veggies. mmm.mmm good. I drank another tea with it. it's cold today, so the tea is working for me. I made another tea at snack time, but did not eat because it was too late for fruit.
Since dad wasn't coming and he is coming tomorrow, I took the little one to the dollar movies with her friend. They had movie meals with popcorn, candy, and a Slurpee, while I munched my dinner in the dark theatre, which was salad with turkey and mushroom. I kept spilling it on my chest because I couldn't see with the 3D glasses on. I kept missing my mouth too. It was a challenge. I wanted some popcorn because it smelled so good freshly popped like that, and I wondered for a brief moment if it would hurt to have just a little, but I told myself yes it would and skipped it. pat on the back. I didn't even taste it. You know I didn't really miss anything because popcorn always smells much better than it tastes. I haven't cheated at all on this diet. I was waiting across the street from the movies at the Chevron/McDonald's with the kids for our taxi (its the only place that has a pay phone to call). I was looking around the store and it was full of junk food. There wasn't a single thing there I could eat and only water I could drink. The hostess pies and donuts started calling me, but I turned my back on them and walked away because they are no friends of mine. Look what they did to me! No friend would ever do that. he he he
I also ordered the kids a cheeseburger and small fry for their dinner while we waited. I was checking out the menu board, which posts the calories for their food, and I was so shocked at how many calories everything they sell has. Its ridiculous! Each meal is between 800-1200 calories! that is a whole day consumption for a normal person. I figured I must have been eating between 3000-5000 calories a day prior to this diet plan. It's no wonder I am three times the size of a normal person, I ate three times as much! That got me thinking about how many calories I saved myself this past week, and I feel so good about that. That is why this diet will work! I have traded 3000-5000 calories a day for a lot less, and I have given up the fattening things that add to the weight too. I am so going to rock this weight loss thing.. I am feeling pretty great about day eight! I am going to take a picture of me with the web cam and save it so I can do a before and after. That is a big decision for me because I do not like pictures of myself. I will someday soon though, and I want to remember what I did to myself so I never have to be here again.
Today's tally looks like this: green tea =5; water = 4 (so far, will hit 6 tonight, maybe 7); fruits = 1; probiotics = 2; proteins = chicken breast, turkey; veggies = tons; exercise = some about 8 minutes; Satisfaction = 100%
My son just told me I look a little smaller! Woo Hoo! I am on my way. He is proud of me and has wanted me to do this for some time now. He's been worried about my health, as has everyone. Thanks baby boy!
I wish you all success at whatever struggles you are going through. God Bless..
