Hungry Day

I woke up hungry and pretty much stayed hungry all day. I ate breakfast - cream of wheat and nectarine. I finished my 1/2 portion and then had my coffee. Three hours later on the dot, I was hungry again. I ate some homemade hummus and some snapea crisps. It was delightful. Snack sometime in the afternoon was string cheese. Then I had some green juice from yesterday. Dinner was pasta with meat sauce. The meat sauce was ground chicken basil mixed with onions, green peppers and garlic and when done browning, I added some organic tomato basil red sauce. It was so yummy. That was at 6pm. About 9:30pm I was hungry again and so I had the tiny bit of meat sauce with a noodle. Eleven o'clock I just had a slice of cantaloupe. It was almost like a normal person eating day, but more often.



I'm supposed to eat small meals five times a day right now. I think when I go for my six week checkup I'll be changed to 3 meals a day. That will be nice. At first, I struggled to eat five times a day and today I looked forward to eating my five times a day. Oh, and no stomach pain, either. No dumping. I must've chewed well enough and ate small enough bites. That means you CAN teach an old dog new tricks!



So the next thing I have to work on is getting my ass out of a chair. I'm either sitting on the couch, computer chair, desk chair, patio chair, etc. You get the idea. I'm sitting and my butt hurts today. I think tomorrow I will go to the gym. I need to get back into the groove, so now's a good a time as any, I'd say. Besides, I don't want to lose weight this quickly and be all flabby when I'm done. Nope. I'm definitely going to need a boob job, but that's a story for another day, kids.



I also have to work getting my meds in during the day. Can't take the medication cocktail like I used to in the mornings. Doc says if I do that, it'll just turn into a medication blob and sit in my stomach. I don't want that, so I found these cute little containers at the $1 store and I put all my meds for the day in it: Synthroid, Lexapro, Ranitidine, B1, B12, multivitamin. I make 3 containers at once so I'm ready to go for 3 days. I try to have this container out in the open all day so when I see it I can take a pill. Spread them out over the day, you see. Well, I get all the pills in the cute little container, but I forget to take them, so I end up taking most of them between 6-10pm. Not what I wanted to do. I'm working on that. Oh, and I'm supposed to take Calcium with vitamin D but do you know how HUGE those pills are?! I have to ask the pharmacist about something smaller. That pill will not pass through my small stomach opening and I don't want problems because of a pill.



Down to 252.8 today. Not a big jump from yesterday. I won't weigh again until Friday.
