Daily Dose 16

227#.  Unbelieveable.  I don't even know what to say...yesterday I counted every calorie that I put into my mouth.  Here's the breakdown:  Breakfast/327
Lunch/435  Dinner/562  Snacks/119  Total after dinner:  1443 calories   I was pretty hungry about 9pm-ish so ate some Smart Pop w/ peanuts, then was still "peckish" and decided to just go ahead and eat some carrots and dip, thinking "Oh well.  This will probably mess up the morning weight."  And yet I was truly shocked to see a gain of a pound!!!  :{  From VEGETABLES???!!!!  :O  Aarrggh!!  I was so....PISSED (sorry) that I stomped downstairs, made two pieces of regular toast w/ peanut butter and raspberry preserves, ate that with my coffee and then defiantly ate a (small) bowl of Frosted Cheerios with skim milk.  Thinking "I just don't give a _ _ _ _!  Why even bother???"   So there you have the ugly truth of my bad-tempered, whine-y attitude when things don't go my way.  Pretty pathetic, huh? 

On a positive note:  I don't work till 1pm today.  This morning I'll buy a pair of cheap water shoes at WMart, then scurry off to a morning Water Waves Challenge class at The Edge.  I'm looking forward to that~ it also means I'll probably do cardio this afternoon at Planet Fitness with Erin.  **Didn't get to the water class after all.  Left the house w/out my cell phone, and couldn't recall which location the class was at, so had to go home again.  Then zipped to WMart for the shoes, realized I still needed to pick up Becca's insulin from the pharmacy, return some items, and by the time all that was done, it was after 9am, when the class began.  SIGH.  The shoes though, were only a buck!!  How cool is that!  Of course, they're cheapo and ugly, but that's okay!  For a buck, I can do ugly!!  :D 

Also, three more "fat" books came in the mail yesterday so I have plenty of encouraging stuff to read and learn from.  Think I'll start with the one about the woman who lost half her body weight!!  Wow!  Perhaps her story of challenges and frustrations will help put my pathetic diet "woes" into proper perspective!
