Thursday Day 489 Food Diary

First things first- Check out the cookbook giveaway! Go here. You need this cookbook!

I got my WW P+ calculator today in the mail, and I honesty was not expecting it to be so small. The thing is just plain little. I haven’t read the instructions yet, but I was able to figure out how to enter my data to find my P+ allowance each day, and to find food values. I doubt I will be using it for actual tracking, as I like my excel sheet just fine for that.

I was pretty good on food today, though I did go 2 P+ into flex. But considering most days this week I haven’t even used all of my dailies, I’m not concerned about it. Unless I go on some crazy binge in the next two days I’m fine. I am a little annoyed that the scale hasn’t really moved at all this week, and I’m not sure why. Maybe because its nearing that time of the month now? We’ll see what happens the next few days. Hopefully it will go down for Sunday’s weigh in.

I had to make a quick trip to the grocery store this afternoon to pick up some vegetables. I realized that the only veggies I had in the house that both Mattie & I will eat were a head of lettuce, and a can of peas and carrots that are going in the shepherd’s pie tomorrow night. We also have a half bag of corn in the freezer, but Mattie’s not a corn fan. I ended up picking up a cucumber, some tomatoes, a couple of fresh beets (which we ate tonight) and a small eggplant.

Wednesday Day 474 Food Diary

I slept late today, and even though my sinus headache finally cleared up, I woke up with a really sore throat and a stuffy, snotty nose. Still, it beats the pants off of the sinus headache of yesterday, no matter how stuffy and snotty I was today. I started off the day with cottage cheese and fruit, and I’m still not sure I’m sold on the little mandarin oranges mixed with cottage cheese. Peaches are always a winner, as is fruit cocktail, and pears would probably be great, but just not feeling the orange segments. Still, I’ve only got two more little cups of them left, so I can change it up to something else soon. I’m looking forward to my next trip to the store.

I finally got an email back form my mom, who reported that everything is fine, she’s just been busy. She reported that I got some mail there, maybe something for a class action lawsuit, and that my uncle turned up to visit my grandmother, and she had some questions about adding new photos to Rafael’s website that weren’t included in the first set of instructions I sent her the other day. No mention of forgetting my birthday or anything. To say I am disappointed in her over this is an understatement. I’m extremely upset and while I’m sure you guys are getting sick of hearing me harp on it, I can’t help but voice how I feel. Besides, this is my blog, and its my place to say that stuff.

Tuesday Day 473 Food Diary

Its late, and I should be in bed, but I got up because I have a terrible sinus headache from whatever bug Mattie had, and in short I feel like crap. I’m also upset because apparently my own mother can’t remember my birthday. My birthday was the 28th, and while I got a great response from my friends (you guys are awesome!), I really expected to at least get a “happy birthday” text or email from my mom if not a phone call, but instead got nothing. Sadly, I’m not all that surprised. Before my dad died, we fought constantly, and over every little thing. After my dad died, she did a complete 180° and was friendly, but basically ignored me. And since I moved out 3 years ago, she hasn’t even called me once just to talk. The only time she ever contacts me is when she needs help with something- normally the computer. The last couple times I have called her, I’ve basically been left talking to myself because she was too busy watching TV to hear anything I said. This does not make me happy, and really makes me wish I had a better family. I sent her an email this evening asking if everything is okay, in the event there is a logical reason why she hasn’t contacted me since last week, but I have my doubts there will be one. xD

Anyway, enough rambling about my shitty family life. Food today was not great. It wasn’t even good. Between just making bad choices, feeling like crap from this bug, eating my feelings, and eating garbage to try to make myself feel better, its been a f’ing disaster. I’m not even going to try to say I did good today because I screwed up across the board. I asked Mattie to take the last of the lasagna to work today so I wouldn’t be tempted to eat it, but he didn’t, and of course I ate it. Then we had pasta for diner, and ice cream after that so the carbs (and fat- we’ll get to that) just kept piling up. :o

Monday Day 472 Food Diary

After this weekend’s celebrating (which I still do not regret at all & loved every minute of it), I had to get back on track today. I burned through half of my weeklies yesterday with two big servings of lasagna at dinner, and a few beers. Today’s plan was to get as close to being right on target as possible, without going into what’s left of my weeklies. I didn’t make my BMI under 30 goal today, but there’s still a chance I can make it before the month is out if I stay on track for the next few days. 8)

Now I thought I was setting myself up for failure on that today because when I woke up, I had a thing of yogurt, and then half of the leftover lasagna for breakfast. I was worried that in an hour or two, I’d be hungry again, would eat something, and screw up the day. But after eating the lasagna, I didn’t feel hungry at all until dinner time, which was right about the time I realized I forgot to buy stuff for tonight’s dinner when I went shopping. I could either go back to the store or find something else to make, and since I had a big can of peas (I never have veggies left on Mondays) I had a vegetable, we had chicken, and I fixed some rice to go with it. It was all good, and I ate every bite, and amazingly I wasn’t hungry for more afterwards. =]

Now, today was my actual birthday. We celebrated over the weekend, but today was the day. The dogs did not bother me one time during the morning when I was asleep, though instead of that giving me lots of peace to sleep until whenever, it made me suspicious about what they might have been doing instead of harassing me.
