No weight lost but nothing gained either!
Today was a challenging day because I was able to see what life will be like on this diet while I am out and about. I am supposed to give myself the injection as close to the same time every day as possible. Since I started on the weekend, this meant around Noon. I was thinking first thing in the morning since I am up during the week at 7. However, I occassionaly get a sleep in day on the weekends and I didn't want to have to wake up during these rare times to give myself a shot LOL!
I had a prenatal appointment (with a client..I am not pregnant) this morning on the other side of the world..literally (Queen Creek). The appointment was at 10 which meant I had to leave by 8:30 and meant I would not be home at Noon for my injection. Since it has to stay cold, I had to plan on how to transport it. I need to get some sort of pack that diabetics carry. I'm certainly not the only one in this world that has to carry needles around LOL! For today, since I don't have one of these handy dandy packs, I filled the syringe, put it in a sandwich bag and place that in a container of ice. The next challenge, getting away to do it. I have to laugh at this next part though Chris was a little mad at me. I left my meeting close to 12 but didn't really realize it at the time. I was tired and ready to be home so that was my main concern (aside from the thought of the LONG drive home). So I'm driving down the freeway and realize it is now 12:15. Crap..So, do I pull off the 5 lane freeway and find somewhere to park to give myself the shot? NOPE :) I lifted up my shirt, and in it went LOL! If that's not committment, I don't know what is!
Ok so for what I ate today. It just so happens there was a Dunkin Donuts on my way to my clients house. DONUTS!! Woot! What a great way to celebrate my last day of gourging! So I stopped for a coffee, which is allowed on my 500 cal diet but only 1 TBSP of milk per 24 hours...and NO SUGAR..bleh! No thanks! Anyway, I ordered an egg, ham and cheese sandwich, hashbrowns and a vanilla coffee. I also order 6 donuts. Never in my wildest dreams could I eat that much but the thought was nice. I polished off my breakfast and indulged in a donut. After the appointment, I ate another donut. I now sit here after dinner, with 4 donuts left knowing I have to finish them tonight or they go bad.
For lunch, I stopped at In-n-out burger which I couldn't finish either and dinner was my last hoorah RED LOBSTER! Woot! Complete with a lobster tail, fried shrimp, shrimp scampi and crab legs...so good! And I did finish it off!
Tomorrow starts my low cal diet and I have made plans for every day this week after I drop Braedon off at school to keep my mind off what I can't eat. I discovered today, that I could make it to lunch time without eating as long as I wasn't really thinking about it. My plan is to drink a couple glasses of tea in the morning, then lunch around 11-12 and dinner will be at 5..hopefully. I can split up some of my lunch and dinner to have a snack which I may need between lunch and dinner.
Here's to tomorrow!
I'm so sad....your last day of yummy tasting food. See I didn't say "good food" because while the food tastes good going down, it isn't good for our bodies. I will be checking in on you to see how things are going today. I can bet it will be tough, but I think you can do it. I'm now down almost 5 pounds and my work pants are already fitting better. The rewards are huge if you stick with it and I know you can!!!!
