David and Bayou are hogging the bed and my covers! They both are sore and tired from playing and working yesterday and I can't get either to budge. So I came out here to blog. Bayou and I stay home today so it's not a big deal if I'm up during the night. I'm sure Bayou will sleep some later too since she played so hard at daycare yesterday. I can take time and make David's lunch while I'm up. I don't mink making his lunch. I usually do it Monday through Thursday. He gets paid on Friday so he eats at the cafeteria at work or eats out. This week I only have to do it Tuesday through Thursday since yesterday was a holiday. Woohoo for the holiday!
I'm not craving food. I just realized that. For a while when I was waking up in the middle of the night I was craving food. Not tonight though. I'm actually craving water/tea. It's too late to be making tea so I'll have to stick with water. I'm going to try to drink a half bottle of water (about 8 oz.) while I sit here. That will help me get my GHG checks in eTools.
One thing I've been having a lot of difficulty with is taking my supplements. I need to take my multi vitamin and oil pill each day. I was having difficult taking them and taking all my other pills too. And when I added in the Osteo BiFlex humungous pill I about gagged every time. So I'm going to take my morning pills before I eat, my supplements after I eat and the OBF humungous pill later in the day when I'm not filling so full from all the pills.
My knee is actually feeling okay tonight. I'm looking forward to going for a walk with Lisa later this morning. I'll call her around 8:30am and see what time would work for her. I'd like to walk with her because walking alone these days is a better dangerous. A lady got attacked on a trail yesterday in broad daylight with people around. She said that no one helped her. I'd like to think that people up on the Mesa Trail would help someone if they heard a person in distress. But since I can't be sure of that, walking with Lisa would be a good idea.
I'm going to have to face my bed sooner or later if I plan on going back to bed this morning but moving Bayou is never any fun. I could just crash on the couch and get up when David's clock goes off and jump back in my bed. Bayou usually moves to David's pillow when he gets up and opens up my space in the bed. I should just go in there in move her. I'd want to make David's lunch first anyway so I don't have to get up at 4am to do it. I'm already up so doing it now makes sense.
I was thinking more last night about getting connected to the WW meeting on Wednesday night. I could talk to Dori and ask her how to go about doing that. I've already had some good suggestions from people in the WW online community - after the meeting go congratulate people who have received awards or who have lost a lot of weight, just smile and say hello to people. It's pretty simple stuff and I should try it. I also need to sit amongst the crowd. I usually pick the back row or aisle chairs. I do that because I spill over the chair and hate to be rubbing up against someone during the whole meeting. I get there early enough before the meeting that I could move a chair so that I'm in the thick of things but that there is enough room on either side of my chair for me and my overage. Then I'd just have to have the courage to speak to people instead of just sitting there like a bump on a log. I could ask people how their week went. Maybe they would talk, maybe not, but I've got to try or I'm never going to feel connected.
I just weighed myself and I'm at 280.4! I hope I can ride that number into the weigh in on Wednesday night. I'm going to have to eat light Wednesday for breakfast and lunch. I'll need to drink a lot of water too. Not so much that I'm waterlogged but enough that I flush out my system. Half a pound more and I'll be in the 279's. A new decade. I was there before I quit. I know I can get there again. I really want to hit that 20 lbs lost mark (278.4). I've got a couple of pounds to go before I get there. I could walk more and eat less to get there this seek but I want to get there honestly and not by pushing myself. It will come off. I just have to be patient.
I'd like to get another 5 lb star and then work my way toward the 25 lb circle thingy. I'd feel like I was on my way if I got there. First things first though. I need to keep these 2 lbs I've lost off of me for good. I need to eat healthier this week. I did get a lot of fruits and veggies at the store. I just have to make sure I eat them. And I HAVE to drink water/tea.
Getting the GHG's in is key to losing weight. I know that. I can do it if I put my mind to it. I can drink 48 oz. of water/tea a day, I get get in 5-6 fruits and veggies per day too. I can get in the dairy with my cereal milk and a slice of cheese at lunch time. I can take my vitamin and my oil pill and try to get in one more oil each day. Then all I have to do is add in a walk every day or some housework to get my AP's in. I also need to follow the Power Foods list as much as I can. I don't want to do the Simply Filling technique where you don't track, you just eat off the Power Foods list (you track the stray food that's not on there that you eat). I like tracking. But eating off that list gives me more food to eat without racking up a lot of points.
I keep saying I'm going to look over that list and I never get around to it. It would help me with my grocery list and meal planning too. There's a grocery list pdf file on the WW site but I can't find it. I'll have to keep hunting around for it. That would also be helpful. Found the grocery list and printed it out.
David just got a call on the duty page and has to go into work. I made his lunch and now I can go back to bed. More later.
