17 June 2011

Preparing to meet with my practicum supervisor for the first time in person. Super excited. I just hope I don't get hungry during the meeting. Today I have to work out the details so I can put together a learning plan.

I did a quick unofficial weigh this morning and I registered 191, which is good. I think the water weight from the beginning of the week is finally down, but we'll see how it goes on Monday. I know weight can fluctuate. I'll feel strong about the weight loss when I hit 189, the 5lb mark. But I still feel positive right now.

Yesterday I didn't get enough protein in. That happened the last day I drank as well. The problem isn't that I couldn't make it because of the liquor. The problem is that I'm not finishing out all my calories for the day. Both days I've had at least 200 calories left over, and a slim fast shake or other protein-rich snack would give me the 10g extra to push me over the mark.

That's something I'll have to watch in the future. Because I'm certainly not giving up my friends Tequila, Whiskey, and Chambord.

I'll be honest. The last few days, its been more difficult to consume enough calories than to keep under my daily limit. I've been trying out new low calorie recipes and the servings are so large for what you get.

I'm still feeling pretty good about the diet. The only complaints I have are that we've had to make so many grocery trips and that I haven't had as much time to work on crafts because I'm spending so much time recording data and looking up recipes and food information.

Joe is getting sick of going to the grocery store. I don't blame him. We keep having to go back to pick stuff up just about every day. Part of it was his fault, because he didn't pick up half the things on the original grocery list. I'm to blame too, though, since I keep adding recipes and needing supplies. Last night I reeeeally wanted to make a banana caramel smoothie, so he had to stop and pick up bananas and yogurt... and he forgot the bananas and had to go back a second time. (I wasn't going to make him go back, but he did anyway.)

As for my crafts, I usually spend a good portion of my morning before work quilting or working on other projects. I've been so busy with dieting that I don't have time to work on anything else. I'm not frustrated or anything. I just have one particular project which I'm working on for someone else, and I'm not motivated to work on it. Feeling a little guilty.

Barely six AM, and I'm awake after a night of drinking. Ugh.

Yesterday's bachelorette party went well. I saved up too many calories though. Either that or I sorely misjudged how much I drank. I had three bacardi & diets (the first one I spilled halfway through... aww sad) and two shots of Jameson.

I can tell the diet is effecting me, because that was enough to get me drunk (not just tipsy). I also didn't have anything to eat before that would soak up alcohol. Not complaining, since it made me a cheap date. :) Just not used to getting drunk off five ounces of hard liquor spread over several hours.

However, I was toast by the time I got home, took the dog out, then went straight to bed without eating my last 300-400 calories.

But I was good and avoided the fatty appetizers and made sure I had a large meal (4 cups of veggie stir fry with a slim fast) so I wouldn't be hungry during the evening.

A note: The boxes to enter text for journals and forum posts is a little weird. For some reason, it keeps dropping letters off the end of my words like it doesn't pick them up when I type them.
