Well 0 readers, it was an easy and hard week. Easy diet wise, hard emotionally. In the past I would have eaten so many calories during this time. I would have shoved meats, cheeses and bread down the gullet, and part of me still wants to, but no frakking WAY. All this hard work will not go in vain.
My sister is doing better every day, but it's a waiting game for like 15 days until her doctor is back in town. I talk to her every day, keep it light and happy. Check in with my niece and brother-in-law as well. Making plans for late July. This will be ok...it has to.
You know, during Sunday after that call with my sister in crying hysterics, it was the first time since our father died that I really really needed him and didn't know what to do. I knew that if Dad were still around, he would know exactly what to do to help Anne. He would know what to say and how to calm her down.
When she was 6 my mom shut the van door on her fingers. She was crying in pain, holding her fingers sobbing. My father carefully put her in the car, every movement produced a yelp from her. He tells her to wait one minute, runs back inside and grabs a can of Orange Soda fresh out of the fridge. He takes her hand and gently cradles her hurt fingers around the soda and then popped the top and said "Here Peanut, Now you can sooth your fingers and your belly." and off they went to the hospital to check out her hand.
The smile on my sisters face was electric. He could have put an ice pack on it, he could have just driven to the hospital. He was a doctor, he could have handled it at home. But he knew just what to do to help my sister and how to calm her down. I wish a cold Orange Soda could help her now. :( Miss you Dad!
So...on to happy stuff, today is my weigh-in!! I'm thinking my number will be below 5 lbs for two reasons. 1. My Chew and Spit experiment. 2. I have my period this week and feel a little bloated, probably retaining water. But as long as it's a drop in weight I will be happy!! I really hope that it's, at the least, over 2, that way I can say I've lost 20 lbs in three weeks! haha!!
Work is going better too, realizing that work stress was causing so much of my food cravings so I spent all weekend catching up. This week has been SOO much better stress wise and I'm on top of things again. Plus the boss just left for 18 days, so Happy Days are here again!!
This next week is gonna have to be when I start really exercising. I'm gonna try the exercise program on my TV (Samsung Smart TV has exercise apps - cool, huh?) and my Wii Fit.
I also got a FitBit for my step tracking. The other one I got was OK, but it didn't communicate with my phone or tell me calories burned or any of that fun stuff, so I'm getting an upgrade.
Alrighty 0 readers, Here's to a good number for my 3rd week!!!
