I made the salad for dinner but opted not to make the dipping oil for the bread and went with butter on the bread instead. My knee and back are hurting and making the salad was enough standing for me. The salad had romaine lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, red cabbage, low fat shredded cheese and for David, dressing. I have my salad dry. The bread was a pretty flat load but it was delicious. I haven't had real bread in quite a while. I've only been eating the Sandwich Thins bread. It was nice to have a fluffy piece of wheat french bread with butter. I topped it off with a Skinny Cow ice cream sandwich for dessert. I'm am quite satisfied and not feeling over full. I can still have a piece of fruit later if I need to but I don't think I will. I've had enough food for today. (I can't believe I'm saying that!)
I think I over did it today on my legs though. My knees are very sore. I took some ibuprofen, the only thing that helps, even though I'm not supposed to take it. I'm hoping it won't effect my kidneys since I'm drinking more now than I was months ago when my GFR was 35 (should be about 60). It's about 60 now so there's no issue but taking the anti-inflammatories could make it go down again. I'll only take the ibuprofen when I really need it and tonight I REALLY need it.
I'm not sure if I'm going to a WW meeting tomorrow. It will depend on how I feel. I may not put Bayou in daycare either. She is one tired dog after 4 days straight. I can always put her in her kennel if I want to go to a meeting though since they are so quick. I'll have to see who is leading tomorrow. Looks like Karen has the morning meeting at 10am. I think I'll go then, if I go. I'd like to sleep in tomorrow if Bayou will let me. Judging by her tiredness tonight she'll probably let me do that.
I had a good talk with Lisa about WW today. She was very supportive and encouraging. She had a friend years ago who was on the plan when they had to calculate and write everything down. I don't know that I could have done it if I had to do that. eTools just really suits me. I love tracking online. I told Lisa that the only thing that I'm really having any trouble with is being around so many people. I'm so used to being by myself or with David that being around people is taking some getting used to, especially in a WW meeting. People talk during the meeting when the leader is talking (just related chit chat), they eat and drink (sometimes with noisy ice filled cups - grrr!) and they get up and leave sometimes before the meeting is over. All things that are against the rules for me but totally okay in a WW meeting. LOL I'm getting used to it though. It's a very flexible environment. I'm sure someday soon I'll eating and talking in meetings and may have to leave early or arrive late. Can't really imagine it but stranger things have happened. ;)
I would like tonight to be an early bed night but the World Series is on and I'd kind of like to watch it. I feel like I had a whole body workout today. I"m aching all over. I hope the ibuprofen helps.
It's funny but I'm already looking forward to my next shopping trip so I can think it through more as I shop and of course, weigh in day. I know I'll be down in weight (at least I hope I will be). I go to the ortho next Wednesday. I'm going to lobby for an MRI so I know for sure what is going on with my knee. I don't think I've torn anything but I don't want to get going again in the pool or walking and have it start hurting and have to lay off. It's frustrating to not be able to go hiking. I just hope the weather doesn't turn too quickly. I don't want to be stopped by injury. Oh yeah, Lisa told me she walked on a banked track once and needed 2 months of physical therapy. NO more walking track for me! Pool or treadmill and that will probably have to wait for a while. I'm sure I'll be in the pool for a while before I get back to land exercises.
Okay, enough for now.
