Day 13

Hi WLB's,
     I have struggled and forced myself to write my blog tonight. i let my husband talk me out of the gym !  (of course it is all HIS fault..haha ...). My body feels like it was worked pretty hard the last couple of days and my muscles are sore and tight (as hubby pointed out ). Tomorrow is another day.   I really don't feel horribly guilty about not going. I do need to get a swimsuit ordered and get my a** back in the pool! I made sure I did a lot of stretching today.
     My calorie intake sucked and believe me--I know better than anyone else that  I need to eat a little more. I've struggled  having any appetite because of the broken tooth. It is more challenging to find mushy foods that don't gross me out.  The protein mix I  bought yesterday isn't even gackable.
Todays menu consisted of: 1 can tuna w/may: 100   1 can cream chicken soup 240 1 serving clam chowder 280 crackers: 100 total 720
I drank over 100 oz water.
I will try to eat something else before bed.
Have a good night everyone and a great day tomorow.

Day 12

Yesterday, I was "enjoying" my lowfat/lowcal/turkey sub. loaded with veggies and on healthy oat bread.
 Amazing how expensive that bread turned out to be for me. I somehow crunched oat just wrong and cracked my filling and my entire tooth down the middle. No dental insurance, to fix it 1,800-2,000!!! (I am on kind of a pity pot at this point) They offered to pull it but since the stinking thing is in my smile line, and I am horribly vain about my teeth and facial appearance, I chose to leave it until I can figure out an option to not feel insecure about smiling. My diet is now changed drastically as I refuse to eat anything solid in fear that the tooth will come out completely. I invested into some protein mix, and am using chicken and tuna salad for proteins. I guess I'll be boiling veggies for now. I simply can't chew without fear.  It is really hard to be interested in eating at all at this point.
On a positive note, I did make it to the gym again today for a total of 45 minutes of cardio/weights. I'm so glad to be back to working out again. For me it is such a stress reliever and gives me a break from  worrying about things. I can just listen to my ipod, concentrate on breathing, and count my reps. I almost believe it is better for me mentally than physically!
Food:
380 protein shake    400 Blenders in the Grass Mocha       200 chicken salad & few small pieces of avacado  980 total

Keep hanging in there WLB's

Day 11

Hi everyone,
I started back at the gym today. I spent an hour doing cardio/low-weight on  nataulis. I should have been happy with that but had to push it 15 minutes on the recumbent bike (no resistance). Am icing knees now, I think I'll stick with weights and try the pool instead next time.
I really tried to up my calories a little bit today. I am sure I need to do better,. Phentermine is maybe working too well. Thinking about investing into protein mix.
6" subway/veggie loaded no dressings 280     chicken breast, cranberries, salad 400    pudding  250       930 total

HANG IN THERE
