Zippity Eww Ahh

Oct 13, 2012

I made it through Thanksgiving, but not without picking up a little touch of a cold. Just enough to turn my tummy into the whiny monster from hell. Days of it not wanting anything, malaise and general yuckyness finally subsided Wednesday. Just in time for me to go back to work Thursday. I'm still having that hit or miss eating adventure, where even things that were fine before get turned away from the terrible tummy.

I did manage to break my stall, lost 4 pounds this last weigh in, one week since the last. Before that I was hovering at 1 pound a week for a couple of weeks and worried (aren't we all in a stall?) that I had hit the wall and my body wasn't going to give anymore weight up. Glad it isn't the case, because I'd like to get to 250, and will if I keep losing at this rate.

In other news there is no other news really. I've been keeping busy, walking a lot, working in more water - more and more each day as it really helps me to feel better and less chilled (apparently chills can be a symptom of dehydration). I'm trying to be busier at night, my ex - prime snacking time, that and weekends. I find it kind of easy to set a weekend goal for something to do and then avoid it by doing everything else but that. Not the best kind of staying busy but at least it keeps me out of the doritos aisle in the building's convenience store.

So far if one craving survived surgery it's the one for zesty doritos. I can combat that with other savoury things like jalapeno tuna, or taco nacho cheese with jalapeno. It's not strictly a cheese or a spice craving, it may be a cruch craving - since not much of what I currenlty eat is crunchy. It's hard to say for sure. I\m working on finding ways around it, but somedays it comes down to me and a battle of wills in that aisle in the building store. Honestly I don't always win, but I never buy more than a snack bag and never eat it all (half at most).

What can I say? I'm not perfect, but I'm doing the best that I can.
