06 September 2017

So I'm back. All the houseguests are gone. I've taken the last of my summer excursions -- this one to friends in Iowa. So now I have no excuses. I have to get back on the routine. Tonight I am roasting carrots and sauteeing cabbage for my starch substitute. I've found that a big portion of roasted carrots and/or cabbage staves off the desire for potatoes or rice or even quinoa, and it brings my carb count down. Tonight I'm having both with a turkey burger. I also bought zucchini because my friend Stephanie has actually perfected the zucchini spirals to sub for spaghetti, so I'm going for zuchinni spirals with sauce and chicken Italian sausage for Saturday night dinner. I've promised myself not to weigh in until the end of September, because I will only be mad at myself if I have to confront the impact of my summer splurges. I don't think it could be too bad actually because my clothes still fit... In fact, I'm thinking about buying a pair of size 10 jeans so I have a pair that fits. But I can't imagine that I haven't crept back up toward 155 from all this partying, and I don't really want to face up to it. I'm a coward I guess. Hope everyone will forgive me for not being as attentive to the FS community this summer as I should have been. When I made all my travel plans, I didn't expect my family to come from France this year, and the last minute schedule changes diverted my attention. So hello again everyone -- hope all is well.

Haven't been around because there's just too much going on, but I am still trying to do my best not to go too far off plan. I ate some chocolate chip cookies when I was out for dinner on Thursday night and I didn't even get through the night before my innards protested severely. I seem to be OK now, as I was very very careful about what I ate yesterday, and I will do the same today. But when my family is here from France, we eat out all the time, and tracking is very difficult. Today we're going out for brunch, but I picked the place so I know I can get food that's good for me. And tonight I plan to eat at home and have salmon and veggies. So today will be OK. I hope I'll be able to keep things under control tomorrow as well. It's very challenging, but it is real life... it's life the way one has to live it...in the world with people who don't have to monitor everything they eat, so I think it's actually good for me to work this through. Hope I still feel the same when I get on the scale in a couple of weeks.

Took a few days off from logging -- but you know, that's never a good idea. It always leads to consuming more calories than I should. But I think I'm back on track now. Got bloodwork over the weekend to try to identify why I've been having such bad leg cramps at night. My thyroid and potassium levels are both OK, so the doctor thinks it's dehydration. I'm going to make a real effort to drink more the next few days to see if that helps, but if I'm still having problems, I'm going to have to get back to the doctor to explore what else could be the problem. Meanwhile, I really need to up my discipline level in the diet department. I really want to lose another 5 pounds by Labor Day, and for me that takes a lot more effort than I have been putting out the past two weeks. Need some diet buddy support!
