I had to leave the house tonight when my family was eating dinner. I'm starving. I have no idea how people who starve themselves on a diet do it. Or how people who don't have money, go without food. And it's only been a whopping 19 hours. I'm a wimp, I admit it.
I made the mistake of getting up and working out this morning. There's another 350 calories that won't be sticking to my ribs. I should have followed Cyndi's lead. She just rolled over and went back to bed. Smart woman.
So far today, I've had diet orange soda, a carton of chicken broth, diet 50/50, Healthy Blend Apple Juice, several small cups of Jello, and a Popsicle. Oh, and I also had the Magnesium Citrate, with its "pleasing lemony flavor". False advertising. It tasted like salty, sour toilet water. I had put it in the fridge before we left for vacation, so it was nice and cold, which didn't add to the non-pleasurable experience.
I went to the grocery store instead of eat dinner. Another brilliant idea. Surround myself with food product at every turn. I decided to beef up my caloric intake and get some full strength soda, apple juice, and white grape juice. I also picked up some powdered Jello to make large bowls versus small cups, and more broth.
One thing I will miss tonight and tomorrow is the evening snack I have had just about every night since the end of March. It was a recipe I got from ChaLean Extreme: sliced strawberries, two tablespoons of lite cool whip, a cup of sugar-free Jello pudding, and a cup of sugar-free cherry Jello all in a big old bowl. It's delicious.
I'm waiting for something to happen, plumbing wise, as well. So far, nothing. I look forward to seeing how entertaining my post gets tomorrow. I'm sure I'll be in a ripe mood by the evening. Good news is I am keeping my spirits up. Work is keeping me busy, which I love, so I have that to keep me positive. And Cyndi and the kids help too.
I'm so weak/tired right now I feel buzzed. I really don't know what I am writing. Is that a good thing?
