Check-in

Jan 02, 2014

Almost a full week and no wine!  Yeah me!   I went to the gym tonight - burned 458 calories.  I've been keeping track of everything I eat for the last week on MY FITNESS PAL - it's a really groovy app where today - it told me - I need to eat more since I burned calories at the gym.  Highly recommended.  I actually feel better.   I can't say that I've even craved wine as of right now.  I did have a head ache for 2 days straight for which I'm sure it's part of the withdrawal process.  This morning I blended kale, spinch, green apple, berries and a scoop of protien.  I had 2 hard boiled eggs, 1 chicken breast from El Pollo Loco (my staple when I was really losing weight in the beginning), trail mix, 1 SF pudding... I've gotten in 64oz of water and I've taken all my vitamins.

 I made some calls to those close to me...laid it all out on the table (to a degree).  While humiliating to tell... I was supported by all.  RELIEF. My mother of course had to put her two cents in - but I know its from a good place.  

Also - I'm now able to sleep through the night.  I really believe that why I was drinking so heavily because I couldn't sleep... well...one of the reasons anyway. 

I've gotten so many private messages full of supporters... I am greatful.  GREATFUL greatFUL!   On Saturday, I'm going to my first support group in a couple of years.  It's not my regular one though...but GB folks non-the-less.  

That's all... will keep checking-in.

Today, still happy I had RNY in 2009.  Now, I'm trying to regroup and achieve success just as I did 3 years ago.
