Day 25

So I think things are returning to normal, thankfully.

The back is just ever-so tender, but I'm pretty sure I will venture out and run again tomorrow (I only work a half-day so I can do it mid-afternoon at a leisurely pace). Also, my dear dog is (sorry for being graphic here) finally pooping like a normal dog. Phew. She still has to keep up wtih her antibiotics for five more days, but she's at least feeling worlds better.

Yesterday was a good day for me. I had a shake for breakfast, a can of soup for lunch (I'm sort of enjoying the soup at lunch thing), and made that same chicken thing that I made on Sunday again this evening, only this time I made it for a friend and I eat. It came out good, though this time I made my own guacamole, again I used cheese (remember: not going to live out-of-bounds), and this time I didn't eat almost the entire serving. There was even left-overs.

And, I managed to put the leftovers away without shoveling a couple of spoonfuls into my mouth while nobody was looking. I consider that an accomplishment.

The only down thing yesterday is, I don't think I drank as much water as I should have. I've got to keep a bottle of water on me at all times... That makes the difference.

So, just the facts:

Day 24 food:

Shake (blueberries, banana, strawberry yougurt, ice, splash of OJ)
Water
Chunky chicken and rice gumbo (entire can)
Water
Chicken dish (chicken, rice, green pepper, red pepper, onion, guacamole, cheese)
One beer (!! - I drank a beer, but lordy it was delicious - Newcastle Brown Ale)
Water

Day 24 exercise: Three long walks

Daily weight: 259 lbs. (down 28)


So today should be a fine day too. Going to see my therapist (we'll have much to talk about from this week), then work and work and home for some sort of dinner (t.b.d.).

Thank you for reading!
