Wednesday Cafe and Cardio

Today I have a ton of gardening to do.  Today it is supposed to be sunny and cool so it is a good day to weed.  Not the most fun part of gardening but necessary and it burns a lot of calories too.

Today I am actually in my own home chilling.  Leaving in the morning for Midland.  My daughter in law is being induced Friday morning, so I will have a new Grandbaby by the weekend !  Don't know how long I will be away from home this time.  Depends on if she has a c-section or not.  Pray for her that she can have a vaginal birth after a caesarean.  Her dr. says she is looking good for natural birth.  We will see.

My five day trip didn't hurt my weight....I weighed exactly what I weighed when I left.  ☺️  I am determined not to gain this summer.....last summers 15 lbs are clinging to me and not wanting to leave !

breakfast...................coffee/miralax elixir.....cottage cheese/pineapple

snack.........................grapes

lunch.........................turkey, veggies

snack.........................more grapes( if I don't eat them, no one else will)

Everyone have a great day....I plan to !!   It is cool and rainy, perfect curling up on the couch day !!!

On Monday I had my 6 year follow up appointment with my surgeon. My half way goal was to be at 168 or below in my doc office.  And... I met it. 

I was 166.6 on my doc scale .  wot wot .. That is 12 lbs from the weight I was in beginning of May.  I guess sticking to my diet works. 

10-12 lbs more and I will be a very happy - size 6 - 8 person.  That should take another 2-3 months ... The lower body fat % we have the slower the weight loss is. 

My goal is to be under 160... Ideal 155 -160... That will take more work. 

I am on business trip now  coming home today.  Yesterday - food wise I did great. But...I had as few glasses of wine.. But that was yesterday,  today is a new day, 

Today will be traveling.  Changing planes, etc. Food wise - I have nuts, protein cookies and plan to grab some roasted chicken and veggies. 

Food: 

Yesterday: coffee (x 3), cold cuts, tuna salad, veggies; peanuts; protein cookies; 2 small lobster tails with butter, couple bites of sweet potato; 3 glasses of wine...; 2 protein cookies..

Today planned: 

Coffee x 3;

2 protein cookies;

meat (chicken?) + veggies

Peanuts

Protein cookies

Water water water

My vitamins... And minerals... Need to make sure to replace my minerals.  The wine and Florida are both dehydrating. I had some muscle twitching in a middle of the night. 

 

 

 

I miss my tiny garden. When it was time to plant this spring my knees were no where near being cooperative so I settled on a few tomatoes in pots. They look puny & pitiful BUT they do have tomatoes on them. My new scales came in last night....unfortunately they're accurate.  I can do this!! I can do this!! I can do this!!! Drinking lots of water today and getting up and moving more often than I have been. Pool therapy for the knee tonight so I'm actually looking forward to the exercise.

Eating for Wednesday-

Absolutely nothing. Had a hideous migraine and called out for work. My head was hurting soooo bad! Did not feel like eating anything. Did have some water, but mostly just slept all day/night.

Hope you woke up feeling pain free this morning. Migraines suck!
