Everything Eaten Yesterday

No joe.. no food processor needed really. I threw mine in the blender last time I made it. simply because it was easy and already set up.
I put the creme cheese into the hot water and let it set for about a minute then turned it on.

It really is an awesome soup.


yesterday-
Good food day. Bad calorie day. I have one day a week where I eat what ever I want. Yesterday was it.

Breakfast-
homemade biscuits and gravy

no morning snack no real lunch
1 small ice cream shake. about 2 measured cups

Dinner
Chilis hamburger + fries.
Actually did not like it. Ate 1/2 the burger because i needed the protein to balance that sugar overload
Then overloaded again by sharing a piece of cheese cake because I was still hungry from not eating the food i ordered.

No exercise yesterday. Gluttony is fun.
Today though is a 2+ hour hula hoop practice day.
Im reallllly looking forward to it.

weighed today
down another 4 lbs.

banana
gingerbread bagel w butter

mini crab cakes and pizzas
clementine

granola bar
pistachios

wonton soup

hoodsie

11/175.4/+2.4

Ok, George, I'll bite. What's a hoodsie?

Sunday
B: banana, yogurt
L: leftover chicken barley chili, ff shredded cheddar, apple
D: brown rice sushi (California roll), edamame
S: ff cottage cheese

Sorry about that.
A Hoodsie is a small cup of ice cream put out by Hood, a local dairy company.
We had a bag of them in the freezer that we had intended to give as a gag
Christmas present, but left home.
(When I was a kid, Hoodsie was also local slang for a girl who was good-looking
but short)

I never knew the second meaning of Hoodsie.

Well, I went to my doctor today.

And I swear this is true, she did not recognize me. Then when she did she was ecstatic, but originally I was completely unfamiliar to her. I learned my scale is off; it's overstating my weight by some 4 lbs. My blood pressure was 112/78; she said it was comparable to that of a 20-year-old.

Hence, this week: 225.
Total weight loss: 121 lbs.
Goal weight (perhaps we can have a countdown for me, too? Maybe a separate topic? Whaddaya say, Joe?): 146

good day. This is officially Day 1

breakfast: forgot. had coffee

lunch: tomatoes, cucumbers, slice of dark break, slice of salami

went spinning, light weights, steam room, and sauna

dinner: tomatoes, pesto, goat cheese, slice of dark break

i bought a scale

i think i will aim for 15 kg down... in a few months to a year or so. that sounds doable. i think i will think about this some more, and plot out some strategy.

Wow, jes!
You must have felt great.
Congrats.

Wonderful trip to the doc, Jes! Atta girl...

coffee x2, 1 tsp sugar tot

the remaining piece of pizza

pellegrino on ice with lemon

two tilapia/onion/potato/herb fish cakes, smidge of yellow curry sauce (this bottled stuff I won't get again)

two thin slices ciabatta/braunschweiger spread

2 sm glasses red wine

I do, and thank you. The doc was asking me all sorts of qs. Who knew I was, like, an expert or somefin?

Ohmygod! I'm amazed and impressed at your achievement, jes. And amused about the doctor too.

What questions did the doc ask? I'm sure you had the answers!

It's about being aware, letting your compulsions pass and not having dinner with Frank and Kicky and Thomas and Bernie and Lola.
B: grapefruit, toast and tea
L: ham slices on a bagel, coffee with milk
D: at the the Ginger House.
Some of the chicken
some of the shrimp
some of the dumplings

Some more of everything

WAY TO GO JESPAH!!!

Thank you. We discussed how, forget the wheel, agriculture, fire, or even that Johnny come lately, the personal computer. No, the greatest invention of all time is the slow cooker.

I explained how I order fish, I get a half a pound. If the guy's not busy, he'll cut it in half for me. If too busy, I'll do it though I don't have as good an eye for measuring. Half for me, half for RP. That's a 4 ounce serving. Easy and no leftovers. It's one degree of measuring and not sitting at a table with a cup and spoon or whatever. I like the idea of, dunno if I can express it, of separating the measuring as far apart from the actual eating as possible. I want to eat, not put things on a scale.

Talked about working out, what I do at the gym, how I got started, how I progressed. Also about making sure to eat fat (a lot of people cut out as much fat as possible, then they're meals aren't very satisfying and they can end up overeating calories in order to compensate). What I typically eat for lunch, what I'd had for dinner the night before. It was stuff like that. She also wanted to know what she'd said, trying to think of, I'm sure, how to tailor the message to other people. For me, it was her telling me I'd be prediabetic. And I was receptive to the message. I suppose it's like quitting smoking; you can try and try but if you're not ready to do it, it's torture, and your chances of success and sticking with it aren't terribly high. I also answered questions about the OTC drug I'm taking; she knew of it but not the details.

Anyway -- thank you -- and onto the business of the day. Er, yesterday.
