Whatcha eating today? Tuesday, 8/23/2016

Today is the best day because it's massage day!  When I opted to get surgery, I also made 2014 the Year of Kindness for myself and I decided to start getting monthly massages.  I found an awesome massage therapist who has a membership plan, so it works out to $55/month for 60 minutes.  It's a highlight of each month.  My therapist is a super kind and wonderful person and, when my dad died, she gave me a gift card for a free hour massage.  Since it was too challenging to fit in a second massage to a month, due to life, I opted for a TWO HOUR MASSAGE instead.  And that's today!  I'm super excited.  I'm also getting a hair cut. My dad's memorial service is this weekend, and college starts next Monday, so I have all these things to do before I leave on Thursday.  Yesterday was doctors, today is self care - today is superior ;)  

Anyway... 

1: protein shake
2: I'll be out for my errands from 8:30-2 and it doesn't make sense to drive home in between, so I'll be getting a chicken caesar salad at Panera.  It's hard to find a restaurant in the area I'll be that isn't just fried/bready/crap that I don't want in my body.  So Panera it is.  Their salads are reliable and tasty and the stats are solid.  (I eat the chicken first, then the lettuce if I have room, and skip the croutons.)  
3: Mushroom-Sausage Ragu - I'll make pasta for the guys, but only sauce for myself.  I'm working on cleaning out the chest freezer so I can defrost the damn thing. 

liquid and vites - will be on track. I haven't showered yet so I haven't applied my patches, but that'll happen soon.  
exercise - nothing formal planned

How about you?

Massage day sounds wonderful. The only massage I get is at Planet Fitness on the Hydromassage Beds...LOL...I love it though. We have a Hot Tub that I go in every night and that is so soothing and relaxing.

I had a great week of vacation last week and a horrible week of eating. I threw my program to the curb and am paying the price now. I consumed beer, bread, pie, cookies, crackers, French fries, Poutine, etc, I did not journal and I did not weigh. I am up. I am not complaining as I know what needs to be done and I started the AMAW program today.
