Day 18 9/5/11

Sep 05, 2011

Another good lazy kinda day.  Got up and did some light cleaning and went to visit a friend in the hospital from an appendectomy.  Came home and decided to make my slimfast pudding!  I mixed it up with the slimfast and enough skim milk to equal out the 2 cups needed for the directions and then I blended it and poured it into four popcicle containers and put them in the freezer to make pudding pops, and the rest I left as just regular pudding.  I started watching a movie with George and Jeremy, but fell asleep in my chair, but man when I got up, my pudding pops were so good.  George and Jeremy even liked them.  They are creamy like a fudgecicle, but a little richer, but very satisfying and a good way to get in the extra protein and vitamins.  I also had instant potatoes tonight.... Yum.  It was like eating potato soup, I still have to keep things on the runny side, so it just hit the spot.  If I wasn't such a stickler for rules, I would have melted some cheese to go with it, but that is definitely not on my list, so none for me!!!!  It was nice to get in the different textures today.  I felt like I ate more regularly today.  I still never really get hungry, so I just go through the motions to make sure I'm getting in what I need to, but Im glad that what I am eating has all tasted very good to me.  The only thing that is not my favorite it the slimfast shakes, they are ok, just seems like it takes forever to drink a full one.Gonna check to see if I can find the smaller cans around here like I bought Aaron down south.  If so, I think that would be better, because I could drink two a day and they would both be completely cold when I drank them instead of the first half being cold and the second not so much.  And I just can't stand the thought of drinking some and putting it back in the fridge, that just one of those things for me.  I don't mind any of my other drinks going back in the fridge, but just not those!  I was looking at my calves today, and they look smaller.  Don't know if they are, but they look that way to me and my rings are getting loose, so I feel like I have completely lost all of my extra fluid that your body tends to hold on to when you can't drink that much and it makes you retain it.  I am able to take regular size drinks of water now, and pretty much drink that all day.  I can still only take a couple of drinks of juice at a time becaue it does that insta-full thing on me, but I love water and it has never been a problem for me to drink it.  I haven't had any soda yet,  I just don't crave it or anything, so I figure if I have been off of it this long, I might as well stay off of it.  I did have coffee at church yesterday morning, because I was about to freeze in Sunday School, but figure one cup a week won't get me hooked back on caffeine. My tea and coffee here at the house is decaf, so only if I'm out and about do I get the caffinated stuff.  I made my friend taste my tea the other day to make sure it was unsweet.  I am still scared of having a dumping syndrome episode, so I take every precaution when I'm out, not to put myself at risk accidently.
