Pretty good day

The day started off with not the best breakfast, but I was busy all morning clearing out the closet upstairs and delivering 16 bags to Goodwill.

B: 2 pancakes, 1 with pumpkin butter, the other with butter and syrup; 1 sausage patty and glass of milk.

L: Falafal sandwich and fries, diet coke.

snack: 1 small girl scout cookie

D: 2 bowls of black bean soup; 1 grilled cheese sandwich; milk

Weighed myself today--165 lbs!!!! Ugh! Gotta get this off quick, and another 10 lbs besides would be great!!!! Still have the pain in my left side, but I think it is a little better today.

Very tired tonight. It's only 7:20. Still need to change the bed--would like to shower as well but I don't think I've the energy.

Beginning

Since my weight loss effort has stalled for, oh about a year, I've decided I've got to really focus once again. My blood tests weren't great--blood sugar up and cholesterol up--the doc threatens pre-diabetes again. My eating has been awful. Fortunately, for the most part I am still exercising with Liz which has probably been my only salvation and saved me from going up in clothes sizes. However, my stomach is bigger that it was a year ago and looks bad under most of my shirts. So I've decided to try to write down all I'm eating again, what I'm feeling, etc. Maybe this will help me on my own happiness project.

Didn't weight myself today. Too afraid to, plus eating breakfast/pooping wasn't aligned right.

B: Scrambled egg with slice of cheese on sandwich thins, glass of milk
L: Burger at Willies, some pot. salad, some fries, glass of diet dr. pepper
D: Should be black bean soup and grillled cheese sandwich, milk.
Dessert: Should be an apple.

Did not exercise with Liz today--wasn't feeling great. I've got pain in the lower left quadrant that feels like some weird hernia thing.
