I broke the 400 pound mark! Yahoo! This is a big deal as 400
was never the number I ever wanted to surpass and when I saw I had, that’s when
I started to think about getting real with this losing weight thing. I’m hoping
I didn’t screw it up. I’ll get to that in a minute.
Breakfast didn’t happen this morning other than a Skinny Cow
mocha latte. There’s only one day a week I actually have to get up and be
somewhere and that’s today. I slept so poorly – third night in a row – that when
I tried to fall back asleep at 4AM (“Yesterday’s gone and tomorrow’s come way
too fast…”), I set my alarm for 8 and slept right to it. I didn’t leave myself
enough time to get a proper breakfast in so I just downed my mocha latte and off
I went into the rainy day.
For lunch I decided to change up the salad a bit and had a
taco salad. I stupidly thought that I could handle having a Diet Coke as that
sounded better than lemonade to go along with the salad. When will I learn?
Diet Coke just makes me want to eat more and I snacked the afternoon away on
sweet pickles, turkey slices, and cheese.
At 4pm, I had a doctor’s appointment where I found out that
my A1C number (one of the diabetes numbers they use) went down a point so that
was a yay moment. Another yay moment was when a stranger who saw my name asked
me if I was Dana Mansfield the Author. I was elated by this! I should have
asked if she had bought my books though. LOL
Anyway, I had to get another prescription at the pharmacy
where I’m frustrated with my insurance company because a written script just
isn’t good enough; they have to have written and vocal okay. The script is for
Rittalin which I’ve been told has high street value and that’s why it’s a pain
to get. I’m also waiting on my sleeping pill prescription to be refilled and
the doctor’s office is dragging their feet on that one. Looks like I’m going to
have to call tomorrow and get up in their business. Well, probably not. I don’t
know how to get up in anyone’s business but you get the point.
So anyway, after my doctor’s appointment I was feeling very
happy and decided I needed to splurge for dinner. I actually had a conversation
with my therapist about this. I told her how eating healthy kind of
metaphorically blows me up into a balloon and it feels like I’m going to pop if
I don’t indulge in at least one non-healthy meal. She thought it was a good
idea to designate one meal a week where I can have anything I want so because
it was such a good day between breaking 400 and being asked if I was Dana Mansfield
the Author, I decided on the beef and cheddar from Arby’s (yeah, yeah, I know –
totally unkosher) and then from the pharmacy I got two Lindt balls (the blue
ones – HA HA, I get it, blue balls). Instead of a Diet Coke, I got a regular Coke
and I’ll see how bad that affects my blood sugar before I go to bed.
So I’ve had my free meal of the week but I’m hoping it doesn’t
put me back over 400 again. I’m preparing for that so it won’t be such a shock
in the morning. I did get five minutes on the mini-cycle but it was rough on
the legs today. Can’t believe such a little thing can be such a pain!
