Day 22

I am entering Week 4 feeling totally broken. I will keep up the fine habits I've adapted these past few weeks, but my back is hurting so much that I can barely stand it. I am tanked up on Advil and wishing I could just lay in bed for days on end eating and eating and eating and smoking and smoking and eating and smoking.

But!!! I've worked this hard for this long, I can't let a bum back get me de-railed. So, more Advil for me, and I will soldier on. Wish me luck!

Yesterday I ate this big chicken salsa guacamole vege mess, and ate it all day. I didn't quite finish off the entire thing, but I came pretty close. And I just picked at it all day, rather than have it as one set meal. I also, and this was sort of gross, ate a few mouthfuls of the beef and rice I was mixing up for the pup (who's still got the runs, poor dog). I also snacked on some of those rice cakes, and for the first half of the day forgot to drink water.

While it was a tough day, I think I survived. I could not weigh myself this morning, mostly because once I was dressed, I didn't want to undress. And no photographs. (I'm sure you're really missing them...)

And, obviously, no run. But I did manage to get in a few long walks (albeit slowly and crookedly).

So, the facts:

Day 21 food:

Grilled chicken in salsa with peppers onions guacamole and a little cheese (1/2 lb chicken tenders, full jar of salsa, half green pepper, half red pepper, half red onion, 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese, about 5 tablespoons gaucamole)
Water
Quaker Quakes rice cake snacks (about 2 servings)

Day 22 exercise: Three walks, plus a few shorter ones

Daily weight: Didn't do it, too painful to undress...


So, I'm at work now, drinking water. I had a shake this morning, and will have a salad for lunch. Perhaps soup for dinner. I can't wait to get home and lay in bed. Ugh.

Thanks for reading.
