Day 5, Monday May 21<\/b>
<\/b>
I’m so glad I didn’t have to go back to work last night. \u00a0I had a page at 1:50 am that just needed some discussion on the phone. \u00a0Ben made me fried eggs this morning, alongside my usual bacon and sausage.<\/p>\n
I lost more weight – down to 158.5. \u00a0I’ve never been lower in the past two years except for when I’m sick. \u00a0To celebrate I’m taking Jack to Target to buy some new exercise clothes. \u00a0I get to do Zumba today!
I’m excited to dance without the usual carb-water bloat I carried.<\/p>\n
Zumba was awesome! \u00a0I had great energy and a lot of fun. \u00a0I hope I burned some real fat. \u00a0I worry about how much my weight loss so far is just do to water weight. \u00a0 Earlier today I bought some new exercise clothes as a treat, for sticking with the diet so far. \u00a0They were comfortable and looked good (it helps to take classes with women over 50).<\/p>\n
I went to trivia in our neighborhood at Teller’s Taproom. When I walked in the door I had the sudden urge to order something even though I already had a full dinner. \u00a0After all, you really need to order something at a bar, it’s like rent on the table, even if I was only staying for a couple rounds of trivia.<\/p>\n
I had a coke zero (first caffeine since the diet, and an hour before bedtime) and a fried artichoke. \u00a0It was delicious. \u00a0I later discovered an artichoke has 7 net carbs. \u00a0Yowza! \u00a0That put me way over my limit for the day. \u00a0But for the moment I enjoying being in a restaurant with friends and enjoying myself. \u00a0I helped nail the 90s Billboard Music round then went home. \u00a0A three minute drive home.\u00a0 I’m going to like having trivia here. <\/p>\n
Day 6<\/b>
A long day at work. \u00a013 hours and I didn’t get a lunch break until 4:15 pm because we are short staffed. \u00a0That’s 10 hours without a rest.\u00a0 I ate my snacks at my desk while working. \u00a0String cheese. \u00a0Atkins shake. \u00a0Mini cauliflower salad. \u00a0Almonds. \u00a0Lots of water. \u00a0When I finally got down to the hospital cafeteria the salad bar was incredibly limp and depressing. \u00a0But it was my only choice, aside from the leftover bacon-cheese-jalapenos in my lunch bag. \u00a0The lettuce was wilted, the cucumbers turning mushy, the egg and chicken were most certainly partially fake and possibly injected with dextrose and who knows what. \u00a0I’ll stick the Adventist hospital salad bars from now on. I packed a big lunch for tomorrow where I’ll be working the same shift, some place.<\/p>\n
At home I made a sandwich wrap with low carb tortilla. \u00a0While eating it I realized consuming a whole tortilla, while only 6 grams of carbs, is probably not kosher for induction week. \u00a0When I tallied up my
dinner I went over the daily limit again. \u00a0Feeling pretty bummed out. Also, Ben is having a harder time on the diet without me around to help make meals. \u00a0The rest of my week will be rough. \u00a0Two more shifts and then I have a long stretch off of work for Jack’s birthday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
