Diet Day ??? on February 25, 2011 7:31 pm
I lost track of what diet day it is, I am going to start my numbering system over based on dates. I took a few days off from OH this week but I can't abandon my diet postings because it keeps me honest and on track. I haven't posted at all this week and tomorrow is Saturday so its our diet day off. I will probably have some of the lasagna Doug's mom made tomorrow. I am continuing my bird obsession with an eagle cruise tomorrow morning, hopefully if it gets to go, the ice, the wind and the cold could all make it impossible. I am hopeful!

Diet Day 46, 47, 48 on February 19, 2011 5:22 pm
Thankfully I have been better at dieting then I have been at recording my diet online, I missed two days, Thursday and Friday, both days I ate 3 protein bars at work, seems like the number that works best for me. I have been having headaches so I haven't really been going online at night, for dinner on Thursday evening we had pizza, I only ate one piece and I had some peanut butter crackers for snack. Yesterday for dinner we had hamburgers, I ate most of a small hamburger. It still amazes me how easily I get full. I had a bowl of cereal for snack last night. Today is supposed to be our diet day off, I went out to take pictures today and got some nice swan in flight pictures, it was extremely windy and cold and crappy light, so no real significant pictures. I drove down to the shore to see if the CT river was really frozen over like I heard it was, and sure enough its really seriously frozen, I guess no Eagle watching cruise for a while still. Dinner was out, I had a veggie and cheese calzone, it was super good, the eggplant really made it. I bought some candy for my co-worker today for her last day and I got myself a few Lindt truffles in chocolate/orange. I don't understand why I keep getthing headaches unless its because I still have broncitus, who knows, hopefully it all goes away soon.

Diet Day 44 & 45 on February 16, 2011 11:43 am
I am getting bad about keeping up my food journal, I swore I would post everyday and I have started to slip. Last night I had to run around getting my son back his car from the repair shop so I didn't have time. Yesterday I ate 3 small protein bars, if nothing else I am getting in all my protein, I had 3 today also. Yeah I have to go back to my Oh Yeah bars because I think I am eating too much this way, although they really do curb my chocolate cravings, I have been eating the Zone Perfect chocolate almond raisin, and seriously I don't even crave real candy anymore. I think I have had it with sweets, why did I have surgery to get healthy and thin just to make my heart race and feel miserable for the taste that lasts about 15 seconds in my mouth. So I am trying hard to dump all the bad stuff from my life, even on my diet day off, although don't ask if I am giving up bagels, because I am not. lol I honestly don't think I really can altogether. Candy sure, I should be able too. We have to start making food again because even Doug and Kevin admit eating healthy makes them feel better. I was not hungry last night for whatever reason and I had just a small piece of my left over meatball calzone from the day before. I got hungry around 9pm, but figured it was too late to eat so I skipped it. Not sure what we are having for dinner tonight, hopefully something different. No it was half a grinder, which I didn't eat, went to bed and I still have a headache and feel sick.

Day 42 & Day 43 Valentine's Day Edition on February 14, 2011 6:03 pm
Sunday was day 42 of the diet, I promised to blog everything I ate and I can hardly remember yesterday, thats probably not good, for dinner I had a hamburger and a couple of onion rings, for lunch I had some pretzels with honey mustard and a couple of cheese sticks. Today was Valentines day, I had two protein bars at work and for dinner we got a meatball calzone and Doug and I split it. I ate three of his almond dixies I got him for Valentines day, he got me beautiful roses, thankfully not candy otherwise I would have eaten that too. I have had a stomach ache all day long and still feel bloated and miserable and have for a couple of days. I am adding a picture I took over the weekend.

Diet Day 40 & Diet Day-Off Day 41 on February 13, 2011 5:45 am
Friday was day 40 of the diet, it was to be our Valentine's Day dinner, I was hoping to have something really good and we chose this restaurant that had the best cannoli even though the other food was okay last time we ate there. During the day I had two protein bars in preparation for dinner, so we get to the casino and I order my standard iced tea with lemon, it comes and its the most vile crap I have ever tasted, it didn't even taste like tea. I asked the waitress about it and she said they brew it themself, I asked that it be removed. We had some bread and butter, it was so crunchy on the outside I couldn't even eat it, seriously I think it caused my gums to bleed it was so hard, it was fine on the inside but rock hard on the outside. So I ordered eggplant dish, it is very small, good for a wls patient, 3 tiny triangles of eggplant in sauce with cheese on top. I ate two squares, I was preparing for my dessert, the cannoli is made with a light handspun shell, filled with cheese and citron and pistacchio nuts. I was so excited, Doug hated them, I adored them, the waitress came and I asked for my cannoli and bam, she singlehandedly ruined my entire Valentine's day by telling me they no longer made the cannoli. Needless to say I left what was a really average dinner less then impressed and no dessert. Pout. So Saturday is diet day off so we get up early to go to the store because I wanted my brownie's, I haven't had any candy or brownies since we started the diet. I also got my bagel from DD, then went home and had two brownie bites and then decided to drive to Newport RI because I am an eco-geek I read all the Audubon sites and found that the Harlequin's are overwintering at the bird sanctuary at Sachuset Point and since I had to go to the airport to pick up Doug's mom and aunt I might as well get some good pictures out of a wasted day. So at 10am I set out on my adventure, I got to Newport before noon time and had two hours before I had to leave to go to the airport to take pictures. So I start walking down the paths and I see the Harlequin's but they are so far out that it's impossible to get even a remotely decent picture even with my 300mm lense. But I did get a bunch of nice pictures of the Common Aider, which is truly a beautiful duck. I am adding a picture here. So after I walk about an hour taking pictures I start to feel it, the crash, I am alone, right on the edge of the ocean, in the freezing cold, no food, no water and my blood sugar is crashing because I am a fucking idiot for eating a bagel and two brownies before I left, and now I start panicking, nice this is just perfect. So I have to talk myself into the fact that I am gonna be fine and I just need to walk back slowly, that I have food and water in my car and I have to concentrate and keep myself from over-reacting. It was scary because I got super cold and my mind really went to mush, but I managed to get back and even take a few pictures along the way. Why I was so stupid to eat any brownies before I left I have no idea. Purely dumb. Once I got back home around 6pm I had half a meatball grinder for dinner, and for snack I had some pretzels and honey mustard and couple of my brownie bites, one at a time spaced out, not together so I could crash my blood sugar again. I did get plenty of exercise though and a few nice ocean pictures.

Diet Day 39 on February 10, 2011 7:36 pm
I don't have much to say, I am still sick, the cough is super annoying. I ate three small protein bars while I was at work today, my boss asked me if I had any good protein drinks and I gave him one of my protein bars to try, I will have to ask him tomorrow how he liked it. We are being bad this week as far as diet but that all ends after Valentines day, for dinner we had Chinese food, I had boneless spareribs and a little fried rice. No dessert or snacks tonight. I am trying to be as good as possible and keep myself losing.

Diet Day 38 on February 9, 2011 6:30 pm
I had a crappy day, everything went wrong and of course I was very upset again about my son, I ate 3 protein bars at work today. I went to the grocery store after work to try to find some cough medicine and I got some all natural homeopathic honey based cough syrup that tastes pretty good but I don't think works that well. For dinner I made myself a shaved ham and cheese sandwich on an onion roll with dijonnaise. Snack was peanut butter and crackers and now I am coughing and feel queasy. Ick, I really hate being sick.

Diet Day 37 on February 8, 2011 5:18 pm
Today I had 3 protein bars, I have the small ones and tend to eat more of them then the one large Oh Yeah bar, but I can't be too upset atleast it's a healthy alternative to eating some junk. For dinner we had nachos out of the pulled pork and lite cheddar cheese. Not exactly diet food but it was left over from the Superbowl party so I figured we would eat it, I made it as healthy as possible. I am adding one of my favorite duck pictures I took over the weekend.

Diet Day 36 on February 7, 2011 5:30 pm
I got up very early this morning and worked from home before I went to work, this means I was hungry by mid morning and ended up eating 3 protein bars today at work. Doug wanted Subway for dinner so I had a 6 inch turkey sub with veggies and southwest sauce. I had some pistacchio's for a snack. I am adding a picture I took yesterday.

Diet Day 35 Superbowl Edition on February 6, 2011 5:34 pm
It was amazingly warm today, or atleast what feels warm considering its been below zero so frequently. So after work this afternoon I went down to the cove to visit my little slice of Heaven, I hiked down the railroad tracks and found that all the swans were in the opposite cove that I couldn't reach without crossing a railroad bridge and I am too chicken to cross. So I went down to the next opening to the tracks but it was blocked with snow and ice, so I went to the third opening where you have to walk all the way down the tracks. Sadly so much ice is still in the river that the swans were still so far away that most of the pictures were not good, but I did find a couple I liked, I am adding one here. I got back in time to cook for Kevin's superbowl party, needless to say this wasn't really a good diet day. I had a protein bar while I was at work, and then ate a couple of my pulled pork nacho's, some cream puffs and some pistacchio's, there was tons of food but I didn't sample any of the wings or chili or anything like that. Not my thing. I made a few things that seemed to go over well buy never sampled, mozzarella sticks and pigs in a blanket. I made the pulled pork nacho's in the little scoop chips and they were really good, Doug really likes these. I haven't been watching the game, only the half time show, I LOVE the Black Eyed Peas. I can't really route for the Steelers but I do route for Troy!!!!

Diet Day-Off Day 34 on February 5, 2011 3:24 pm
Today was our diet day off, I had a bagel with butter for breakfast, a couple of peanut butter crackers for snack and two slices of hamburger pizza for dinner. I tried on some of my summer clothes today that I had packed away and my size 7 prom dress I bought at JC Penney a couple of years ago fit perfectly. I have two size 2 skirts that I could get on and zip but were too tight to actually wear, I bought them when I was at my extreme lowest which I guess to be about 130, never did see that number on a scale. I am goaling myself with getting back to 135 and I have 2 more months until my 6 year anniversary but I feel like its working which is good. My jeans are actually getting a little loose again which is terrific. I am adding a picture of yesterdays sunrise.

Diet Day 33 on February 5, 2011 5:36 am
I got up at sunrise to drive up the college at the University of CT to take some pictures because I heard that the deer feed in the fields near the end of the pastures and everything was covered in ice. Of course I didn't see any deer, but I did take a nice picture I am adding. It was truly breath taking. About 8 o'clock I felt so sick I called out of work, I really don't think I am ever going to get better from this flu. For food I had two chicken taco's and last night we tried some items from a new Chinese bakery, I had a few bites of a savory chicken puff pastry that was really good and a super light Asian cheese cake. I only had a taste and saved the rest for Saturday for diet day off.
Diet Day 32 on February 3, 2011 8:50 pm
Today started very early, I had to get up and drive Doug's Mom and Aunt to the airport for their flight to Ft Lauderdale and then their cruise on Saturday. It was the most incredible sunrise I have ever seen over the icy covered trees, I had my camera but I couldn't stop to take pictures because I wasn't sure how bad the drive was going to be. Needless to say I should have stopped because the ice is only in selected areas, and I was unable to get even one decent icy shot, which means I should get up super early tomorrow to go out, I am really not a morning person so that might not happen. Sadly on the drive we even saw some beautiful deer down by a stream, no place to stop to take their picture either. Ugghhh this sucks. I did take a couple of pictures of the ducks at the marina right after work which I am including, the icy is soooo thick, they were sitting on the only non icy covered spot tucked into the side of the rocks leading down to the water. Okay for food, I had 3 small protein bars at work today, I think because I got up so early I needed an extra bar to keep me going. We went to dinner tonight with Kevin and Meagan and Doug's cousin Danny and his gf, I skipped the appetizer and order shrimp in garlic sauce over pasta, I ate only the shrimp and virtually no pasta, okay maybe a tiny bit but not much. I was super good it came with a half a baked garlic clove. Very yummy. For snack I had a few crackers with my cinnamon rainsin peanut butter. That stuff is really to die for.
Diet Day 31 on February 2, 2011 4:16 pm
I am still sick with the flu, I had to leave work early because I felt so terrible sitting in my office I really thought I might faint I felt so weird. I tried buying something at the pharmacy to help my symptoms but I am now afraid to try it, I told the pharmacist everything I couldn't take and he suggest Mucinex-D 12 hour extended release. Doug said that stuff is going to make your heart race for sure, so I skipped it. He wanted a surprise while I was out so I bought us some peanut butter, he got maple flavour and I got cinnamon rainsin flavor. We both tried it on some saltines, mine was really good, I don't typically eat peanut butter because of the calories and lately I have no taste for it but this was really good. Oh well, I guess I won't buy it again. lol lol I had two small protein bars while I was at work today, a couple of crackers with the peanut butter, a bowl of the pasta I made yesterday for dinner. And for snack I had sf rice pudding with ff cool whip. I haven't taken any pictures since I got sick so I think I am gonna go find something I took last week.
Diet Day 30 on February 1, 2011 4:31 pm
I went back to work today from being sick, it sucked, I was equally as miserable there then when I am at home, but there you can't lay down. For whatever reason when I breathe through my mouth my stomach fills up with air, I have this super hard air pocket moving through my system, its painful actually and I wish it would pass finally. I have no idea why it happened, I don't think I have been this sick since I had wls almost 6 years ago. Today was good eating wise, I had a protein bar at work and made the low fat pasta dish for dinner, I can't eat much with this gas, I had a kozy shack sf rice pudding for a snack and now I feel horrible, bloated and wishing I could fart. Yeah thats classy, but its the truth, this bloating feels horrible. I looked equally as horrible at work today too, but so what I showed up and go everything I had to done. I took a few pictures over the weekend of my swans and the lighting was awful so I converted them to black and white.
