Well, this last week has been nothing but challenges. It started out getting the fill two Thursdays ago which puts me on liquids for 3 days --- whoa, bad timing on my part!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Friday started "Girls Beach Party Weekend" where a good friend of mine rented a gorgeous beachhouse and invited us girls to hang out with her, way too much fun (thanks A). Though the food looked great, I stuck it out and kept on my liquid diet -- WINE and water. It really wasn't too bad, honestly, but this was the first time I really missed my beer. Then Saturday night was Papa Roach/Hinder and Nickelback at the Woodlands and what comes with that??? Beer, Beer and more beer. I was really glad to be there with the kids (even though 2 were legal driving age) because that gave me an excuse, I only had one glass of wine. Thanks T! Sunday stepping on the scale was not pleasant..... major gain! Whoa, gotta get cracking here. I was so glad to come back to work on Monday so I could eat right and DRINK LOTS OF WATER.... As a friend of mine said who is also going through this journey - a liquid diet does not mean an alcohol diet -- how funny, you would have done the same thing! (But big kuddos to her because she announced a major milestone while listening to me complain, this game me hope again)
The week was going good until it was decided to start my birthday celebrating a week early ---- oh those frozen mojitos Friday. I really have to stay away from them, they have to be full of calories but they are sooooooo goood :) Saturday it was road trip time -- went to see the grasshopper and deliver her some King Crab. That went over really good, not too far off the course but again, there was wine involved. For those who havent been to Gruene since last weekend, they opened a new winery and the fruit wine is yummie --- bought 3 bottles............. And finally Sunday- Giants and Cowboys in cowboy territory. Of course you have to come armed with good food when you enter here wearing your best Giant pj's (hey it was a night game) so here comes the Buffalo Chicken dip. The host is one of the best bbqer's around so of course he made TONS of food -- stuffed pork roast, smoked ribs, beans, pasta salad and oh something else I had to stay away from. Doesn't he know I only eat 4 ounces now??? I ate very little roast and ribs and I am feeling it today. Not only does the scale show it but I am feeling pretty full still. Liquids seem to be the only thing I even want to think of eating right now (and can you believe wine doesn't even sound good?) All I want is WATER WATER WATER!
In spite of it all I am glad to see the scale was good to me. I was getting discouraged about it not coming off as fast as in the beginning but you know what -- it's coming off so I am happy. As far as the Hashi's goes, I have some appointments coming up, the one with my endo got misscheduled so I have to wait again, oh well. I am really tired today but that comes from the overdoing it this weekend. It would have been much worse in the past. One thing I am grateful for is my newfound energy level -- before this journey I would not have been able to do a third of the above activities listed. I AM LOVING THIS!!!!! I have also weaned off of one medication and slowing weaning off of another. WHOOO HOO
This week is homecoming for Kelly and MY BIRTHDAY! more challenges to come.........
