Brownie

ok, not to perseverate on the brownie, but, today was the beginning of all the purim celebrations and I enjoyed a delicious 310 calorie brownie that came in the Purim basket from our temple today. It was good! We went to a diner after the party and I had the tilapie. I brought most of it home. i really tried to stay away from drinking while I ate. It was good. I had about: 3 oz of tilapia 130 cals 1/2 cup spinach w/ white beans 51 cals (had to butter in there!) 1 tsp butter 30 cals 1/3 c. ma

Worked out!

I actually did the elliptical today (funnily while dh was at the gym w/ the kids) and felt so good! I have got to figure out a way to program the elliptical so I can still do the weight-loss program but for a longer time. Right now, it stops after 20mins. There was such a good, mindless show on (VH1 80's) and it made it really easy. I was also studying and so happy to have a break from that.   Aside, found a study website that made studying actually fun! I transferred 25 flashcards onto the s

Getting in the groove.

Helpful to read posts about fbs (first bite syndrome). I definitely get this. I seem to be prone to gas bubbles which collect in the opening of my band. I think I may have a slight allergy to dairy which causes this.   In any case, today has gone well on the food front. Am working my way through a protein drink. Had lentil soup (well the broth, luckily it was brothy and not dense) and a bit of my dd's chicken nugget.   Really have to get the shakes down. Got really tired this afternoon. Sur

Day 3

Headache started around 2. The protein drinks from Costco are tasting gross. Fake sweet. I had 2 cups of popcorn. I have to drink this protein drink but it is gross. Forcing myself. I am going to drink it.

End of day 2

2.5 protein drinks consumed. Not the most satisfying or joyous of eating experiences. But I need to clean out and simplify and change priorities about what gives me pleasure in eating.   Also had about 5 pcs of trident, 3 big glasses of water, and 2 cups of cheese popcorn. That last one is not so ideal. I just hit a point about an hour ago when I was just craving salt. Like I wanted to drink pickle juice. I guess calorie-wise it's about 160 and 9 grams of fat.

Day 2 continued

So I have been to Costco (That was an experience. Forgot my debit card. Had to apply for an amex card. Wasn't going to let an hour of dealing go to waste. have to cxl that amex card asap.), purchased the protein drinks.   It was an interesting experience focusing only on buying food for my family and not for myself. I am so conscious of feeding them all healthy food and have gotten into such bad habits for myself.   I really let the band drive and took the backseat. Not making healthy choi

Day 2

I am going to Costco today to get the protein drinks to start liquids for a week. I wonder if I should try to find a better blender that really grinds up ice. Mine always leaves big chunks. I will see what they have.   I will also look for sugar free/lo-cal gum and candy. I am so orally fixated. I have never been able to lose weight w/o something to chew on. When I was 18, I lost a lot of weight and got in great shape. I chewed Hubba Bubba grape sugarless gum constantly. It was sweetened w/ I

Day 1

Well, I would love to be posting with excitement and enthusiasm. It is there, bubbling under the surface. It wants to come out. I just have to be careful. I have started so many many times before. I remember sitting in a weight watchers meeting in a basement of some office building, being led by a woman wearing a dress that looked like it went out of style 20 years before she lost the weight she was when it first fit her. I remember the sadness I felt being there and the desperation and sense of
