both snoring devices were a no go. tore chin vice at 2 am and removed tennis ball at 4am...needless to say that I did not sleep well at all.
oh well.
on to my next cup of coffee. Yawn.

I tempted fates today after work. I stopped by the local grocery store and bought a big bottle of captain morgans spiced rum.
Brought it home and stared at it. took out the shot glass and figured the calories for 1 1/2 ounce a normal drink would be 86 calories as stated on the back of the bottle. I would mix it with zevia carbonated pop. Cream soda is good as is ginger root beer. I also have black cherry.
I think I will try the cream soda one first......
But not today!!!! I want to get to the gym and walk on the tred mill again and hit the stair master. That will be after dinner. so I survived a big craving and am proud of myself.

no drinks until friday.

great lunch: triple tail fish with tuscan sauce on top which was delicious!
side of ceasar salad and green beans and bok choy smother with onions.

12 almonds for snack

dinner: tilapia lemon pepper, kale with hot chili red pepper sauce that was very spicy.
brighten up the kale. nice kick to it.
snacked on some zero net carb ice desert, it was fair and called wink 100 calories for the whole pint mostly ice with some stevia to sweeten it and other ingredients.
a fudge pop-2 carbs and a truffle for 3 carbs.
I had 2 cups of coffee for breakfast with half and half.I may not drink anything this friday
Will see how i feel.

I went to the gym tonight and walked on the tred mill for 5 miles in100minutes and made it 6.5 minutes on the stair master.
home by 930 to see seinfeld which was funny. I have been using the heating neck pillow on my lower back. when i am finished watching tv, I get ready for bed and leave the heated pillow on the couch and hattie has discovered it and it laying on it.
I wook my meds and am typing poorly so it is time to go to bed.
sweet dreams all!

Weighed 176.3 this morning so happy about that. I think it is water weight but I will take it. It is amazing how much the numbers change after a couple of weeks of partying. I was up to 187 and panicked. Have been following a fairly low carb diet for a week and the weight just recalculated it self. Back down to where I was a couple of weeks ago.

I hate to see this yo yo effect. It depresses me so. I need to stay in control of my eating. And that means in control of my drinking too.

Tonight at trivia, I will have the salad bar because the bar food is very fattening, and not on my diet. Lunch is a salmon day at sandras, 4 oz of wild caught marinated with sammies magic touch. yum!
After work I will try out my new drink rum and diet cream soda.

At trivia, many of our friends will be there. Some acquaintances, so I will have some social anxiety pop up. Wine will be my choice instead of fattening beer.

I do work tomorrow out of town so tonight I need to stay moderate in my drinking. Jeff drives to trivia, and doesn't have a problem staying moderate in his drinking, I am the one with the problem.

Saturday morning I have only 2 people to see. Jeff is going to a foot ball game with colleagues of his. They get to walk in with the band, it is a lot of fun for them. I am going to try to get together with a friend of mine who is in a bad relationship and needs to talk. Her name is Doris and is the woman who traveled with me last year to north carolina.

Sunday we will travel out of town over an hour to morgan city for their shrimp and petroleum festival. There is an arts and crafts area that we like that is under an over pass so while it does have a 70% chance of rain, the vendors will stay dry...and we will too!

"Shrimp and Petroleum festival" I get it that those are probably what the town is known for, but it cracks me up -- like the shrimp will have petroleum sauce or something(!)
Have fun at it! Glad you will stay dry.

bizi, your meals sound mighty good! It goes to show that we can eat very well and still watch our weight.

[bizi]

well
the truth is I drank too much.
Had 3oz of rum with a cream soda mixer at home before going to whole foods.
then went to trivia and drank an entire bottle of wine by myself.
And ate a pound of ground beef casserole off of the salad bar with some spinach. Had 4 squares of 85% chocolate that I did not like.
Came home and ate left overs little bit of chicken salad, half cup of mixed veggies. cup of chopped kale and the rest of the ice desert( no carbs).
I fell asleep watching tv and hubby is in bed.
I have to get up at 7:30am tomorrow and go out of town for a couple of clients.
I took my night meds and 4 advil because I have a head ache.
Drank 2 glasses of water and will try to drink more before I go to bed.
I hear hubby snoring in the other room, I usually do that. Hope I can sleep.
anyway had fun, sat with other people tonight dorothy and jim and nancy.
They are very nice and we won trivia, no thanks to me...I am miserable at trivia.
Need to go to bed.

Saw 2 clients out of town this morning then came home and had:
lunch: 1/4 cup of chicken salad at 11;30
then at 1m I met Doris at this nice restaurant called Zeas. She had never been there before. So they gave her a sample of corn grits and then a sample of the ribs which was so nice of the server. I knew how good they were and ordered the thai ribs and corn grits and broccolli . She ordered the shrimp pasta with cream sauce.
the ribs were delicious! My friend Doris treated me to lunch, just for being her friend for listening and trying to help her with her new phone. The manager came around and was so nice, he was very personable. We will definitely be back!!!
I took home half the ribs and had them for dinner tonight. they were so good, every thing was delicious!!!!
Am having a rum and cream soda.
It is really good!
Jeff is at the foot ball game with colleagues of his from the school of music.
The game just started. So he won't be home for a few hours. What to do?
I guess I will search the internet for entertainment.

Just ordered another home food delivery from home chef.
6 meals delivered sept 12th for $30. $5 a meal including shipping.
these are our 3 days meals: pork egg roll in a bowl, italian sausage pesto noddle bowl, chicken enchilada skillet. mostly lower in carbs but they sound really good.
This was a discounted price for first time buyers. We have done this 3 times before: sun basket was the best so far.(organic veggies and sustainable meats and packaging recyclable.)
We like it because all of the ingredients and recipes/instructions are given and we cook together. So that makes it fun.
He and I both work so having meals delivered is great!

I use to get angel food boxes once a month and they were so worth it. That was before there were many food delivery places.

[bizi]

I actually signed up for 2 of the meal plans, one delivered on the 12th and one delivered on the 19th.
It was kind of impulsive as I was a bit messed up with drinking all of that rum.
But anyway, need to cancel them in a timely manner so we don't get charged full price and have them come again.

Jeff and I went to the shrimp and petroleum festival in morgan city about an hour and a half away from home. We ate good bbq pork chop and white beans and potato salad. hubby had a crab burger and chicken on a stick which was delicious. We drank hurricanes and a punch drink which was good. watched a small parade, got several cups and some candy and a few beads. So that was fun! Walked under the overpass where all of the arts and craft vendors were selling their goods. Stayed out of the rain. Had boiled shrimp and corn and potatoes which were very good but too much. Gave the rest of the shrimp to some table mates.
Listened to the band play for a bit and headed back to lafayette.
Ate the rest of the chicken salad which was very good. We were invited to a cook out tomorrow. I am seeing a couple of clients tomorrow afternoon.So we will go there after I am finished.

warning Drinking behavior disaster last night:
warning drinking behavior disaster last night:



I saw 2 clients in the afternoon, then we went to a friend house for a cook out. Prior to leaving I had 2 rum drinks quickly and jeff said I was drunk before we even got there. I had brought along some rum and a few cream sodas for mixing.
I don't remember much,After getting there because I blacked out. I threw up before we had dinner and after we had dinner.

I do remember throwing up in the living room and bathroom and almost in jeffs car coming home.
Jeff told me that I had called apologizing to paul(don't remember that), I did text him later and got a nice text back.....

I think my drinking plan on the weekends sucks

and need to come up with a different plan.
I need jeff to help me. He said he tried to get me to quit but that did not work out I grabbed the drink out of his hand he told me.

I apologized to jeff and thanked him for helping to clean up the mess.
He was very quiet last night when we got home. I had to drag the sordid details out of him.
This morning is a light morning, had a cancellation one of my clients passed away....
so I have time to type this out.
No hang over this morning, I feel great, guilty.... but great.
Hubby kissed me good bye like normal all is forgotten/forgiven.....

got cellulitis from a fire ant bite on my fore arm.I went to a walk in clinic and got put on antibiotics and bactroban ointment 3 times a day. already took 2 doses. I am to use warm compresses 4 times a day. I used the moist heating pad tonight which worked like a charm though the rest of my arm is red from the heating pad. Jeff bought it for my neck and I have been using it on my back and it feels so good. You just heated it up in the microwave, 1min20seconds. the when it cools down I reheated it again, some how it produces a moist heat. It is a mystery to me. You don't get it wet. It creates its own moisture.
I am supposed to use warm moist compresses 3-4 times a day, which means I need to come home at lunch time to do the heating pad..
So get up early and do it then. 7;30, 12 :20, 5pm then 11pm
my friend gave me some skin care products that she uses which was really sweet of her but I used the cleanser and the mask and was oily one hour later. it is for dry sensitive skin. I have rosacea and hate to switch up my routine,. she said she thought the benzoperoxide was causing my face to be ruddy.
I agreed to have kelly do some procedure on my face will have that done when we get home from our trip the end of the month. It is a BBL, and she has to numb my face before she does it. She said it will lighten my face particularly my nose.I a little scared as i don't know what to expect. I am a wimp when it comes to pain.

Jeff is a good man. Thank you for saying that. I apologized to him about him having to take care of me and ruined his evening too.
The swelling has gone down on my cellulitis but the redness is still there though not as much. I am using the bactroban 3 times a day and hot moist heating pad 3-4 times a day as instructed. Will do it again this evening before bed
I got a new electric tooth brush and got the kind oral b with a rotating head and an extension so there is more area that it brushes..hard to explain. the first one I did not like because it was too small and I could only put a small amount of tooth paste.
Since I have been on this diet I am hungry. I see Dr. Orazio my pdoc next week, she will be very disappointed that I have not lost weight since I have seen her and gained weight, which I am upset about too.
When I drink I gain weight.

It is as simple as that.

What is it going to take to stop drinking?
