So the birthday is over, and it's on to 38. Yesterday was a really crappy day. I'm not entirely sure why...it's so frustrating to be feeling so bad and not even know the reason. Part of it may be residual disappointment with my first week's loss, no matter how unfounded the disappointment may be; I think another part was that a birthday with no presents, no special dinner, no going out, and no cake isn't really much of a birthday. That really doesn't account for how bad I was feeling, though. I don't know.
Anyway, I did manage to stay on my program, but really only by accident and the fact that if I'd tried to send Chad out for non-allowed food he wouldn't have gone anyway. Even once we finally had dinner, it ended up being very frustrating, because although I'd eaten nothing but breakfast and a cheese stick, I ended up having to cut my portion of ham down by a third in order to be able to have more than 1/4 cup of vegetables. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong...if I'd eaten lunch, which isn't really optional no matter how many times I've skipped it, I'd have ended up with practically no dinner.
Breakfast: 2 eggs, scrambled, 1/2 lb sausage - 6.68g
Lunch: None
Snack: String cheese - .8g
Dinner: 5.25 oz ham steak, 1/2 cup peas - 12.12g
Dessert: None
Total: 19.8g
On a happier note, I'm really loving my new FatSecret app and website. Much, much nicer than what I was using before. Hopefully today will be better than yesterday...
I am sorry. I hope today goes better! Love you!
ReplyDeleteSigh! My birthdays seem to be getting more and more anticlimactic as well.
ReplyDeleteBut on the bright side: Imagine if you lost only 4 pounds a week every week. On your next birthday you'd be ...well...what's 52 weeks x 4lbs? ;)
