Day Five....

and yeah.... I'm pretty freaking sick of this already... maybe I'm just in a mood today or something but it's killin me... I know what we are having for dinner and I know it's really really good so I've been eating extra light all day in anticipation for our pulled pork on french bread sammies.... and well it's killing me...

I'm sure it has a lot to do with tomorrow being Christmas Eve and knowing what goodies are going to be at my aunts house tomorrow and the day after... knowing that my husband is making a red velvet cake (one of my favs) tonight or tomorrow... I haven't researched what all is "allowed" very well so I've been eating peanut butter sandwiches like they are going out of style and making sure I do things by the letter as much as possible...

UGH... I'm just frustrated....

107oz

So I knew that keeping up two blogs would be a nightmare... and well it's not a nightmare just hard to keep up with both when you are busy... and busy I have been...

So I finally got to see the dietitian, yippie... I was worried that she'd tell me to go on the south beach diet or something nasty like that... but nope... she said she wants me to choose foods that are low on the glycemic index... which makes since, since my body doesn't do with carbs what it's supposed to...

So here's the break down... I have to drink 91oz of fluid, perfectly water, juice and milk but Coke is NOT out of the picture but regular coke is high on the index and diet is acceptable... but I can't drink diet so I'd rather drink water and then cheat with a soda every now and then :D

I also have to get in 6 grains (rice, bread, etc etc) 2 fruits, 3 veggies, 3 meats and 2-3 dairy products... seems like a little bit of food when you look at it like that but my lord I'm eating all the time!!! Supposed to have like 6 small meals or snacks a day... which I like cause I'm a grazer anyway...

So today I had wheaties (which I had in the house anyway, I don't eat horribly bad really) and a cup of milk, then we went to church... yes church it's been like almost two years for us! Ummm anyway came home and had a sandwich, and a tangerene, a huge thing of water then off to Nanna's for a little while where I downed some pork rinds (NO CARBS YAY!!!) and a few mixed nuts. We were all hungry so Wes went and got us subs, mine on wheat no mayo, and loads of pickels! And finally when we got home I had a bananna, half a peanut butter sandwich, and a load of raw veggies to finish out my day...

All in all not to shabby!!! I know that there will be instances where I cheat (aka Holidays) and I know that it's alright as long as I keep trying, the weight will come off and I'll get healthier.... which is the goal...
