I plan to force myself out the door to walk. I want to create a routine for this fall, for when my son leaves in the mornings to school, I want to leave with him and walk, maybe around the park.
I don't want to still be home without being dressed when he leaves, I want to be there for him if he needs me. I remember when I was going to school, I didn't feel like my mom was around, ready for anything. And boy, were there days when I needed to feel secure.
Growing up with an alcoholic is devastating for a child, especially in the teen years. I want DS to know that he can always count on me.
But I digressed:)
Today's plans:
Walk
Bake my muffins.
Cook.
Clean up.
Read.
I "must" give up the Jello Rice puddings. I know it must be the dairy that's making me bloated, does lactose intolerant people get bloated after eating dairy? I'm going to check that out.
I just looked it up on webmd, and bloating was the first symptom on the list.
I feel my stomach bigger, even though I have been on track for 76 days, my pants aren't even lose. I don't want to weigh myself on the 101th. day and find that I haven't lost any significant amount of weight.
I still have cheese sticks and the YoCrunch in the fridge, I'll have to finish those before I can experiment on being dairy free, however, I will cut down from this day on. The last of the Jello puddings are finished. I know it's time to give up a certain food, when one or two servings are no longer enough.
Confession time:
I bought some 100 Calorie Pretzels yesterday. I'm keeping it downstairs so that they are out of easy reach. Up to two a day, I'm allowing myself, only as an evening snack. I was looking back at my DietPower food log, and I've been consuming an enormous amount of sodium, 3,000-7,000 mg. Very scary - and that's without the pretzels. I will be working on that from now on.
Well, that's about it for now. I will post my calories later on tonight.
