Necessary Mutilation

Weight: 210.2 lbs.

Well, I am holding steady at 210 ish lbs. I tried to lower my carb intake and up my protein yesterday, and here’s what I throughout the day: 2 turkey dogs (leftover), a cheese slice on them, one slice whole wheat bread, 2 cheese sticks, a pear, an orange, some unsalted peanuts in the shell, and a stir fry chicken dish with over 20 grams of protein. Still not food of champions, but a little better, I am thinking. We still haven’t shopped, and until I get better foods in the house, we are stuck with susviving on leftovers and frozen products, mostly.

Last night I had a marathon phone conversation with a friend, meaning that I neither snacked or MOVED in like 3 hours. This can be good or bad, depending on how you look at it!

Today we are awaiting news on whether Tom’s friend “B” will return his call and ask that we join him at his father’s memorial this evening. It is a touchy subject in many regards, and due to “issues”, we remain uncertain what the correct protocol is in such a situation and need him to let us know what he finds suitable.

In other news, I recently reordered my supply of Celebrate vitamins, and continue to find this company and especially its president, so helpful and informative. I feel liberated from the doubt and concerns I had regarding lesser known products, or exactly what I should be taking in the first place. Not only that, but I like the taste and texture, and have developed a reasonable and workable routine, even when away, that ensures I am taking everything I need to and in the proper amounts and with the proper spacing. If you are post surgery, you know how complicated and difficult this can be, especially with “rules” like iron not being able to be taken within 2 hours of calcium, calcium having to be of the citrate type, multi’s and calcium tablets having to be spaced several hours apart for maximum absorbtion etc. etc. I am grateful that Celebrate products spell this out on their labels, and seem to have boosted my energy level and overall feelings of well being, since I switched over to them entirely. I love that there is no more guesswork, and if I have any questions or concerns, ever friendly and helpful “Vic” is very accessible and kind.

If I weren’t so needle phobic, I might actually be looking forward to my blood work-up! I can’t help but believe that both given my great supplementation and my decent diet, that I should fare well. It certainly will be interesting when the time comes!

But, for today, there are more emergent matters to tend to…like dragging my lazy butt to the basement to give the machines a whirl! Then, off to work for the usual ya ya.

I’d rather stay and write endless blather here…..  Aren’t you glad I have a job!!?
