Back from vacation and here's a new snap of the beach house. Lookin' good. Can't wait for summer to get here. Contractor says 4 more weeks. Can't wait to move all our stuff back in and begin enjoying the new house.
I ate amazingly well on vacation. I did eat bread, but I did when I needed to eat something before my antibiotics that I'm on for my bad cold. Other than that, I didn't snack very much and ate really well. Had all my vitamins (I always do, never miss a day) and all my water...so give me a great big gold star *lol*. I also order 5 lb. container of Protein Whey Stack (who knew that 5 lbs of protein powder was HUGE!!!). OMG, I couldn't believe it when I opened the box, it's amazingly big, I have to start having it at least 3 times a day to make a dent in it. I'm starting that tomorrow. I ordered samples of Protein Whey Stack and it wasn't too terrible. I had been on Optifast several times and the shake is just as terrible/good as that was and I got that down, so I'm sure I can do this shake. I'll keep you all posted on my progress and if the scale starts moving again.
Nothing else new, work is work. Vacation was really nice. Jack and I went to Disney World, had a nice day there and my only complaint is that it goes so fast -- wish work would go that fast. I had the best pickle at WDW. They have a fruit / veggie stand at Disney MGM Studios, and believe you me, pre-op, I'd have walked right by that cart without blinking an eye, on my way to the hot dog / ice cream / whatever stand. But I got grapes and a pickle (I know, great combo), but I had that as a snack and it was delish. Really enjoyed that pickle. Want to go back and get another. *lol*
Oh well, just wanted to drop a quick note...nothing is up, just same ole, same ole. Wish I could say "Happy Spring" but it's snowing here, right now and it's a bit depressing. We had some really nice days last week, then I was in FL and now I return to 30 degree temps and it's snowing. It's not snowing enough to make life miserable, but snowing just the same. Ugh, give me 80 degree temps, Calgon take me away to balmy sunshine......till next time all ... :o)

All's the same here. Winter hit us again on Tuesday with 8-10" of MORE FRIGGIN' SNOW!!! Ugh!! Oh I hate it, the poor bulbs are trying to spring their heads from the ground and now they are all covered in snow. It has been so nice, everyone getting their lawns cleaned up from this horrid winter and things were looking up. Well, hopefully, the rain now will stop and get a little warmer. It's almost 50 degrees here today, so it's nicer than yesterday when it was 30!
My eating stinks! Plain and simple. I'm not eating enough and when I do that, which is nearly every day, I'm snacking LOTS! My weight is up about 2-3 pounds and I'm depressed. I'm doing this to myself, I'm not eating well and stalling my progress. I wish I could get back my old body for a day and that feeling of "I'd do anything to rid myself of this excess weight". I've definitely become complacent in my routine. I'm happy in my skin, overall am happy with my body/self, totally feel like I'm not dieting (which I haven't since the surgery), but my eating is really terrible. My hunger has returned, I'm eating lots of bread and eating PB M&Ms for Easter. They are yummy but they are the DEVIL!!! They call me. Well they are all gone now and I won't be buying any more. I know I shouldn't have bought them in the first place and if I could control myself, somewhat, I could have them in the house and eat a few, but no I'm going to the bowl all day long. Ugh, I'm terrible and I hate myself. I hate the control food has on my life.
UGGGGGGGH....hope this feeling passes, I hate my bad habits!!!! So far today, I'm excellent, but time will tell. I had soup for lunch and plan on an afternoon protein shake, let's see how it goes...hey I'm only human, Easter candy is but once a year!!! lol, until next time all :) |
