Irish rose and everyone thank you for your concern for my daughter and her horse. My daughter was stiff and sore this morning and I bet her horse "Harlem" was too but, they both seem fine so I am thankful. Irish I did not know you had a horse background. That is nice to know! I do love the horses and the wonderful childhood they have given my girls. There is just such a special bond between a good horse and its girl! They will work thier heart out for someone they love. Almost as loyal as dogs.
Well I learned a couple of things today. First I am up a pound and a half today. I stayed within my calories yesterday and I did sit alot (In that now roomier chair! LOL)but because of where we were at we had fast food for breakfast and I brought the small luchables and grapes for lunch and I had my addiction a shaken Iced tea lemonaid with just 2 pumps of classic instead of however many they usually put and then we ate out where I had a chicken breast and rice so I should of been ok calorie wise but I bet the sodium was shy high. It really does make a big difference. I just looked at the nutrition info plainpat posted and YIKES the sodium and calories are crazy in some of meals on there. So I am not going to panic yet I will drink my heart out today and see what happens. Sometimes it is so hard to not eat out when you are on the run.
The second thing I learned today is I am starting to really lean towards the theory that arificial sweetners are not so good. This morning I tried this diet hot chocolate with a small amount of sugar free carmel syrup and 1/2 a cup of skim milk only about 75 calories. I thought I was doing good then I got sidetracked and didn't have my oatmeal for breakfast so about 10:30 I feel shaky and starving wanting to eat everything and it has been that way all day even after eating a healthy lunch. I think I do better with real food and a small amount of real sugar if I am going to have something sweet.
nancia you are so sweet! but I am with pam H if I ever get skinny I will still be a big ole pear shape! but maybe a miniature pear instead of a roma shape!:)
Mim and Xylie you both amaze me. can you two come spend a week with me??? I can't get my dh to finish anything around here. I would be to chicken to do half of the stuff you two do. So can I steal you two for a week or so I will spoil you and let you quilt in your spare time! My house would look so much better in just a week with you two around. So is it a deal??? :shock:
Createfourpaws I hope you continue to recover at great speed. Take care.
I hope everyone else has a great low calorie day. I still keep thinking about eating so I am going to go look at plainpats nutritional info and see if I can scare myself into being good! lol
