Day 64

It would be nice to get a bit more consistent.  I ended up waking up way too early, getting up twice and eating and trying to go back to sleep.  I had a handful of Wheat Thins (not good for WW), a piece of bread with about 1 TBS peanut butter, and a Nutri-Grain Bar.  I went back to sleep, slept a few more hours.

I was up very late, then had pancakes for breakfast.  I think all of that was 900 calories.  I didn't eat anything else until dinner.  I decided to be good and had a grilled chicken salad with light Italian dressing.  It also had a boiled egg and some avocado along with a bunch of veggies, greens and the chicken.  Later, I had another piece of bread with peanut butter.  I'm going to bed soon and will have some kind of snack before I go to bed.  I think I'm still well under my calories burned, which FitBit shows to be about 2400-2500.  

I obviously need a better mind set in the mornings!  Before I put one bite in my mouth, even in the wee hours, I need to think about what I'm doing.  Lesson for today.

I had about 8000 steps, well above my 6450 average I planned for.  These steps are boring.  It's getting time for me to get outdoors.  I've been walking around in the house, doing 1000 or 2000 at a time.  But I'm glad I'm doing them!

Well, we'll see if I do better tomorrow.  I may have a brunch in the morning if I get going in time.  But I need to behave and not eat or stick to fruit and anything that works well on WW.  

Until tomorrow!

Day Six

 Woke up about 10:30 after a very late night, just couldn't fall asleep. Had a Cliff bar early as usual.  Had carrots, grapes, chips and salsa for lunch.  A few animal crackers before dinner, then chicken breast, green peppers and onions, greens, queso, Mexican rice, Oreos, chocolate covered pretzels.   Ok, tomorrow, I'm going to try to watch my snacking tomorrow.  Let's see how I do. No walking, but we went to our storage and dug out household stuff, so I did get some exercise.   One regular Diet Coke, one Zevia, quite a bit of water.

Day 5 - Some New Steps

A little more background: During this funk I was in, I stopped doing almost everything.  All I wanted to do was stay in bed, or if up, watch TV or read.  That's a terrible place to be.  I suspect many of us have given up on life for at least brief times in our lives.  I don't have to work, and there was very, very little I absolutely had to do.  Any trips out of the house were usually to the grocery store.  When we traveled to see the kids, I would manage to come "alive" for a few days, and then go back to my hole when we returned home.  I guess it's a perfect description of depression.   Jake didn't pressure me, pretty much left me alone.  I was glad about that, though I did from time to time tell him what was going on with me.  I just could think of nothing I wanted to do, interested in nothing.  I tried to keep my communication with God open and honest, so I least I wasn't totally hiding from Him.   If something ne...

Days 27 and 28

 The last two days are not really worth recording.   This is like one of those times in the past when I arrived at a point where I never got back on track, and my aim is to change that pattern.  So many times in the past when I would start on Weight Watchers, I would be perfect for the first three weeks or so.  Then as soon as I cheated the first time, it seemed like I could never get back on track.  And then I would quit.  That perfection thinking defeated me. Also, the first time I had a weigh-in day when I knew or thought I would be up on the scales, I would not go to that meeting because I wanted a loss every time I went.  Then the next week might be worse, and the missed meetings would stretch out until I finally just quit. Now it's very obvious to me why I have not succeeded in the past.  With those kinds of expectations, who can measure up?  Any kind of journey is dotted with slipups and failures, usually many, along the way....
