I am sooooooo tirred. It has been a really long, hard, busy week. I'm glad it's over, and I get a day off tomorrow. I was surprised, after eating so much last night, but I actually went down .2 pounds, to 199.6. Amazing! 'Course, most of what I ate yesterday was vegetable-based, even my burgers. It's great.

Day Four - July 4, 2014
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY, EVERYONE!
I ate waaaaaaay too much today, but I really tried to eat healthy and not cheat (I did eat a hotdog, which is BAD, but just plain, no bun or anything). I had a nice time, and except for the wonderful ice cream that I made, I did NOT feel in the least cheated. Let me try to remember. I have weighed 199.8 for two days in a row, which is higher than day 1....bummer, but it won't break me.
1 banana
1 "lean" frozen meal at work with pasta, broccoli, and Romano cheese (it had no meat, no sugar, less that 300 calories)
Some veggies chips (about 2 servings)
iced coffee....same as the other days, 8 oz coffee, 1 packet S.F. cocoa, 1 stevia packet, about 1 cup of rice milk.
2 Boca burgers, 1 plain, 1 with lettuce, mustard, tomato, onion...no bun
1/2 cup of pasta salad (made healthier by DIL's mother)
1/2 c of broccoli cole slaw (some mayo, but I drained off some of the "juice" when serving)
1/2 c watermelon
approx. 2 handfuls of "healthy" potato chips
about 5 tortilla chips
1/4 c salsa
quite a bit of that yummy dill and garlic dip....definitely overdid that stuff.
at least a cup of fresh veggies...cucumber, carrots, snap peas, sweet peppers, celery
1 cup of rice milk and honey "ice cream"
2 chunky monkey (?) treats that daughter made (healthy)
1/2 cup of pineapple juice in a glass of decaf iced tea
I can't remember anything else...there probably is something.
water - not much, only 16 oz. I think

Day Three - July 3, 2014
Pretty good day, but I had some of what I shouldn't....
Brown rice with honey and cinnamon
banana
Iced coffee with stevia, SF cocoa, and rice milk
Large southwest salad from the store (it says five servings...I'd say 2) it includes lettuce, shredded cheese (about 1 oz), pico de gallo (about 1/8 cup), chicken slices (plain, about 2 oz), crunchy thingies, chipotle ranch dressing (now this stuff is fabulous, I can't resist it...container holds about 1/4 cup)......the five servings is supposedly about 1250 calories, but I do cut it some by taking off the cheese and only using about 2/3 of the dressing. So it was about 1000 calories, probably. Yes, I know I should also cut the crunchy thingies and even less dressing. I'll try. It's my favorite salad, though, so I will still eat it once every payday (twice a month). It's the best tasting salad I've ever had (that's just me, probably).
Veggie chips - I read the label, nothing bad in them, I had about 2 servings.
2 small smoked ribs (1-2 oz of meat)
1 c quinoa
some chicken stuff, about 1/2 cup (crockpot)
1 1/2 c veggies, cooked w/ 1T of butter
1 c watermelon
exercise: rest day....muscles SORE!
water: 32 oz. so far, I plan to drink one more glass
I didn't weigh today, because I forgot until after I'd already eaten...I'll be sure to weigh tomorrow.
Kiddos
I have a question for the generation below me (let's say, anywhere from 25-40). Why do so many of you, when posting on Facebook, call your children "kiddos"? Why not children or kids? I'm just curious, because it seems to be the "in thing" these days. Most of the women (just women, I haven't seen a single man call them this) call them kiddos. There must be some unwritten code that I'm no longer privy to, being much older...I guess I'll have to start calling my grands "grandkiddos". Okay, that just sounds stupid.

Feeling good
That's it....just, FEELING GOOD! I know the initial just-started-the-diet-and-feeling-good-about-it high won't last long, so I will enjoy it while it's around!

Day One, July 1, 2014
Today went okay, as far as food goes.
8 oz. of coffee with sf hot chocolate powder, 1 packet stevia, 1/4 c
half and half, 1/2 cup 1% milk
1 1/4 cups brown rice, with 1T honey and 1tsp. cinnamon
1/2 an avocado
1 cup (+) fresh veggies - carrots, grape tomatoes, snap peas
3/4 sweet potato with honey and cinnamon
(honey and cinnamon are supposed to be VERY healthy and lower
cholesterol, which I need to do)
1 bunch of grapes
3/4 cup rice with 1/2 cup beans
rotisserie chicken - 1 leg/thigh combo
1 small smoked pork rib
1/2 cup watermelon
16 oz. of water (and I'm working on a second 16 now)
Well, I realize I will have to alter my coffee drink...no more half n half, and I will make it with rice milk, to make my latte. Water will be a problem. Because I ate mostly healthy yesterday and this morning (I guess), I had to go to the restroom at work SEVERAL times today, even though I only had my usual coffee and one bottle of water which was spaced throughout the day. I can only imagine that I'm shedding water weight that I have been holding on to. But having to pee every half hour while I work as a cashier just won't do. I will have to figure out how to make it work with my schedule....maybe drink most of my water in the afternoon between work and dinner. I'll figure it out. And maybe I won't have to go so much after I have shed a few water-weight pounds.....I'm feeling good about eating healthy again, although I could have eaten more helpings of veggies. Only a few brief cravings when I passed some sweet stuff at work!
