yes lightly toasted with peanut butter and bit of strawberry jelly.
yum!

Tonight At planet fitness=tred mill at mostly 10%incline, 51 minutes, 2.6 miles, heart rate 120's-130, most importantly, I SWEAT!!!!!this was the hardest session yet. I held on for the most part other wise would fall flat on my face. So I know that the calories burned number is false...fun to wish but I won't even mention it anymore. It is too late to have pop corn. And I think it was too late to go to the gym, maybe not. We will see how I sleep.

Actually I am doing billing tonight, I only got ready to bill(stamp envelopes, stamp return addresses, gather supplies,etc.) tonight I actually write out the bills and send them tomorrow.
I stopped by my friends Doris house yesterday. Visited her and she asked me what was wrong. I told her nothing. She said you are quiet. I reassured that I was fine. So she said this is what you are like calm, I agreed with her. She did all of the talking after that which was fine. I guess she has never seen me like this before. I guess this means I am stable.

We are having some company over tomorrow for a shrimp boil with sausage and potatoes and corn, kale/coleslaw and strawberries.
Tonight, chicken with curry sauce, half an avocado, veggie soup, I ate too much....too much chocolate for desert. 200 calories of chocolate.
Need to drink a ton of water tonight so I can get a good accurate weight at my pdocs visit tomorrow morning.
I am hoping to have lost 5 more pounds, in 2 months.
I really thought the weight would fall off. nope it is stubborn. Doesn't help with thin mint girl scout cookies all last week and now andes mints every night this week.
sigh
bizi
I can hardly write this...I should throw away the rest of the thin mints andes chocolates....I will do this! Left over from christmas, kept in the fridge. I will do this...i just did.

I saw my pdoc today.
She was very happy with my report.
Don't have to see her for 3 months.
17 pounds lost since november.
AF since valentines day.
We decided to continue the naltrexone, she thinks it is contributing to my weight loss, and controlling my urges to drink alcohol.
Maybe so.
I cooked up a big shrimp boil tonight for company.
It turned out really good everyone said.
It was nice to hear the compliments.
WE had shrimp, red new potatoes, Corn on the cob, mushrooms and andoui sausage(which was spicy). Also had a kale, brussel sprouts and cabbage salad and a bowl of fresh pineapple and strawberries.
I am stuffed!
You have to cheat every so often, can't deprive myself all of the time.
I am thinking of going to the gym....

I kept a log of what I'm eating for a week......now I know where to start. My doc has sent in a script for Belviq but so far the insurance is resisting. Still following you progress and relishes food you post is inspiring me to start a lifestyle change. Keep it up!

thank you nammu.
Is that the combo med welbutrin and naltrexone?
The naltrexone alone may help you and your insurance may easily cover that, mine did.

No, that's a different one. But thanks, I might ask about naltrexone if he needs to change the meds.

167 this morning.
Last time I weighed this amount was may 2017.
So I had put on 18.5 pounds in 10 months time.
Most of that weight gain was from drinking fattening dark craft beers and the medication abilify.
We increased my meds and added naltrexone and I have finally been able to control my drinking for the most part and able to diet and lose weight.
What a blessing!
I am working Saturday, no complaints, love my job.

Well I survived going to whole foods for trivia night in the bar.
I drank too much cho flavored water, 3 big glasses full.
It was very difficult to stay AF. One of my favorite beers was on tap, a coffee stout.
I also ate too much food.
WE split a cheese tray and then I had 2 grain patties with cheese and a side of salad with ceasar dressing. Ugh!
At least I did not drink.
I am miserably full.

The play was greek mythology.
WE enjoyed it.
I was a little bit cold but mostly warm, I should have brought a scarf!
I am cold natured though and am waiting for the heat to arrive. Although it was 79 today.....The wind is what made it chilly tonight.
WE ate a lot of food for dinner.
Had almonds before dinner then went for char broiled oysters which were not as good as usual. Something about the cheese....I did not really like them.
I complained to the waitress and wrote it up on a comment card.
I had steamed veggies with crawfish ettoufe on top with melted cheese, the good kind of cheese.That was delicious! Hubby had boiled crawfish and he really like them. He shared half of a red/new potato and I dipped into his dip that he made with horseradish. IT was really good. AM trying to watch my carb intake.
anyway....
I will get back to really dieting on monday. Jeff leaves on wednesday to fly to INDY to see his mom and give a talk about eddy van halen at a conference. His colleague is speaking about steely dan.....
Indy had 6 inches of snow which is unheard of for almost april! Wonder if it will all melt by wednesday.
It is time to think about getting ready for bed, I want to read some about refuge recovery. from a Budda mindset.

just realized hubby will be gone 8 days!!!!
sigh
I could be really disciplined and lose 2 pounds like try a fast and intermitant fasting. Maybe just try one meal a day.
I don't know That sounds more reasonable and doable than a complete fast..
This also falls after easter. I gave up alcohol for lent but could try for longer.... like a dry march. Well actually april 1st is easter and that would be a dry march!
My husbands best friend gave up alcohol for lent too. He does this every year to prove to himself that he is not an alcoholic. I know that I am an alcoholic/binge drinker. He has invited me over for an easter party. If I go I will take an uber there and back from my house.
I may decline but I don't know at this point. Being sober feels pretty good. Like I said, jeff is gone so I could really keep up with a healthy week if I try. I am giving myself permission either way. I have not said yes to his invite. He really wants me to come.
He will get s@#it faced.
Do I really want to watch that? Who else will be there? I should ask him. Perhaps that will help me make a decision. I can't see drinking by myself. What is the fun in that?
I am more of a social drinker, but have social anxiety. I usually drink to deal with the anxiety.
But I definitely have gone to bars by myself to drink.
sigh
I have time to decide.
Jeff gets home the thursday after easter at 11pm.

I think I will go and just bring non alcoholic drinks like oduols or sharp if I can find it. And some of my zenia(fizzy drinks sweetened with stevia.)_
I like the ginger root beer. I can always leave early too.

I have been having hot flashes pretty regularly. This is why I got up so early today.
sigh
When will they stop?
