So far so good. sugar free peppermint mints are helping push the snacking at bay. Less than an hour til Lunch. :) Going to be a busy day. 8hrs at work. I didn't get much packed last night for this weekend, so packing for myself and a toddler only. So much easier than when the full family goes. Then an almost 4 hour drive to my moms with a toddler and a 9yr old. The 9yr old is my friend's daughter who is going to spend the weekend with us, my older daughter is 10 and spent spring break with my Mom. :) Fresh air, farm life, and Family for a whole week.
Some good news: All the brownies are gone. The bad news I had a small piece last night. And the other good news is I was pretty low in calories at the end of the day so it was fine. :)
I have to say I love publix delivery for general household items. I did order some healthier options to help with sweet cravings. 60 calorie pudding cups, some caramel corn popped rice snacks. Fresh fruit and veggies are usually gotten from the farmer's market up the road from my house. Meat I like to select in person as well. So I'll shop for that once or twice a week. Usually buying things that are on sale that week.
So it took hours to write all this and actually post it. lol. Already went to lunch and came back. :)

Completely forgot to weigh in this morning. Not sure exactly how much sleep I'm running on, but I guestimate around 2-3hrs. -_- I went to bed around 11 last night, and the baby woke up at 11:15 and would not go back to sleep. cuddling, snuggling, rocking, cuppy, blanket, humming, patting the back. the whole 9 yards. Eventually gave up and she went into the pack-n-play in the computer room where there is a decent amount of white noise and she fussed for about 15mins before going to sleep. I feel about as energetic as a sloth on xanax. But I'm at work today. Surprisingly, my pain level is low today and I'm very thankful for that.
So going to focus on making good choices, and not falling asleep at work today. Chicken or turkey are in the cards for dinner tonight. Still haven't fully made up my mind.
Going to own up to eating a brownie and icecream last night. Didn't even try to substitute it. Need to push through that tonight, stick to fruit if I have a sweet craving. Wish me luck.

So...back again. Kinda got a wake up call when my primary care physician rec commended looking into weight loss surgery at my appointment last week. I'd rather not have the surgery. I'd rather do it on my own. But I'm kinda in a catch 22 situation where exercise is concerned. I fell while doing yard work in Feb 2018. And kept ending up at the doctor's for steroid shots to help with inflammation roughly every other month for about 6 months. Turns out I had injured my sacroiliac joint on the right side when I had fallen last spring. I ended up doing 8 weeks of physical therapy over Thanksgiving and Christmas, but almost tripping and catching myself caused it to flare up all over again. I'm currently dealing with daily pain that fluctuates in severity. Walking stretches it out, but turns into very painful joint inflammation the next day to the point of bringing tears. And I'm already on a daily regimen to help with the joint pain.
So I'm going to try to change up my diet first and see if I can bring some pounds down that way. And attempt to add some exercise, which will be trial and error to see what my joints will allow me to do but still leave me able to go to work and take care of my family. Carting my 30lb toddler doesn't help it either. I also get muscle spasms in my lower back, so wish me luck people I'm going to need it. I'm at the highest weight I've ever been. Doc's scale said 390, but I'm going to weigh in tomorrow morning on my own scale so I have an accurate number from the scale I intend to use.
1. Cut the junk, eat more veggies and fresh fruit, make better choices.
2. Cup of green tea a day. Water intake is already over a gallon a day.
3. Trial and Error exercise. Feel the burn, learn to love the pain.

I just want to say a big THANK YOU!!!! to everyone who gave me support and encouragement yesterday. I was really down, I had fought pain and lack of sleep for 4 days while taking care of things at work, and my family at home. I was at the end of my rope so to speak with making healthy choices. But some how everything worked out yesterday!
Yall will be happy to know I did NOT have pizza last night. I ordered pizza for the whole household, but didn't even have a smidge or a sniff of it. I guess the universe, karma, whatever was looking out for me.
I had called in an order to have meat and cheese sliced at Publix when I went to my doctor appointment, it was right across the street from publix, so I was just going to swing in pick it up and go back to work. But. Big But!! I had left my wallet at home and only had my checkbook, usually they ID you for a check, so I needed that with me.
So later in the day I ordered pizza for everyone, then I left to go pick up the meat and cheese at publix, I was gone about an hour since I did other shopping while I was there. I ate about 3oz of meat and 3 slices of cheese on the way back to the house. Then I had a cup of really good blackberries when I got back. ^_^ Everyone had eaten by the time I got home, I wasn't hungry so the pizza had no power over me. (This was my Labyrinth moment, minus the flowy white shirt and with pizza portraying David Bowie's Goblin King) So it all worked out in the end.
I feel much more like myself today. Hopeful, happy, productive. There has been a huge reduction in the level of my back pain. The constant throb/hurt is gone. I'm still a little stiff today, and a bit sore, but I can deal with that. ^_^ I'm retaining fluid though.
I thought maybe I should address my goals with eatting habits. I'm doing a low fat diet. I do not have a gallbladder, and have issues if I don't consume some type of bread/rice on the regular. O.O If I skip all bread/grains then I'll basically induce a colon cleanse. lol If I skip a meal, same results. If I don't have a snack, same results. I didn't have grain last night for dinner, so I may have some issues around mid morning today. Ugh.
The idea of using egg as a crust is a great one, but unfortunately I no longer eat eggs. Scrambled, fried, boiled, etc. It triggers a gag reflex and I have tired to get over it, but I just can't. :/ I had a bad experience cooking fresh from the coop eggs when I was 9yrs old, and haven't eaten them since. I still remember loving the taste of them as a kid, but at the same time my guts give a wibble wobble and a hard NO to eating them now. lol. Breakfast on the go is rough for me, but with frozen turkey sausage, some potatoes, a little cheese all pre-proportioned into bowls, I make it work some weeks. :)
So tonight's plan is homemade chicken soup (one of my favorite go to recipes) featuring slow cooked chicken breast from earilier in the week, matchstick carrots, onion, garlic, celery, and a variety of spices. It'll be served hot over jasmine rice. I may make some homemade hoecake, which is like a fluffy buttermilk biscuit bread cooked in a cast iron skillet in the oven. Two family recipes, one from my mom's side, and one from my dads. :) Together they are excellent.
For lunch I'm going to toast some lower calorie flatbread in my oven, then top it with a little marinara, london broil, and cheese. And have a side salad with some tomatoes, and the thai inspired dressing that I make with ginger, soy, siracha(sp?), basil, and some roasted red pepper dressing as my base.
No real plans for exercising today, mostly focusing on being mindful of not over exerting the muscles in my back. Not an easy feat with a 1yr old baby to care for, but we'll make the best of it. She has a doctor appointment this afternoon, it's her 1yr check up. :) Pic below from last night, couldn't help it. lol.
