Tuesday- Boo

Well, today was a CRAPPY day.  Food wise, I did pretty good. I had a lean cuisine for lunch and for dinner I had green beans, carrots, an apple (I know, sounds like horse food so far) a bisquit and...here's the kicker, Mac and cheese.  

Because my kidney's are having issues, i'm not aloud to eat much protien for a while.  I went to the Doctor today and had some more tests. Not good.  Tomorrow I go in the hospital for 3 tests on my kidney's. If it shows what they think it will, I will be sent to a nephrologist (kidney doc.) for a biopsy, etc.... Not great, and I've been off the lexapro so all I do is sit around and cry about it.  Crying is not what I do much of, but for some reason when I got off the lexapro I cry all the time. I know this b/c today in the doctor's office... they had Finding Nemo on the big plasma screen and at the end where the father finds nemo... I began to cry, the ugly cry. The nurse came in and said, "Oh my gosh, are you ok, what's wrong"  And I said, "oh, nothing I was just watching the movie."  That's when she turned to see what was on... and when I realized I needed to get back on the lexapro.  (Well, that and the fact that when the nurse told me she lost my 2nd urine sample I asked her "if she wanted me to pour it over her head this time to make sure she knew EXACTLY where it was."  Then I started to cry.... and the dr asked me if I wanted an IV of lexapro. lol (Good thing he loves me.)

Hope tomorrow is better, b/c today was depressing, scary and it sucks.

Love ya.

Monday....how'd it go for all?

Today is Mari's turn to post:

My Monday was not good food wise. A friend came up from Alabama who was training to be a gourmet chef, and so...it was no salads for him.

However, I will say now that Mallori did great, despite all of the food offered.

We ate our decent breakfast of the cinnamon swirl toast, coffee, juice, etc. And that's when it went down hill.

Jason/Drew showed up at lunchtime and we went to Genghis Grill. Mallori had some shrimp, scallops and chicken in hers and ate about half. I had the chicken, oversalted at that, and ate about half. Not too bad.

On the way out, I found a Ben & Jerry's and insisted on ice cream. Mallori had about 1/3 of a small scoop and I had a large scoop, nearly finishing it all.

At dinner, we went to Applebee's and Mal had about a half place of some spinnach ravioli and grilled chicken, and I had half a plate of lime crusted chicken and rice....NOT healthy by any stretch. Then I proceeded to have about half of a large serving of a malt butter blonde (Mal had a few bites and was done).

Today I woke up feeling extremely bloated and feel like my fingers are little fat water logs trying to type.

Today's plan is a better one (with no one here to interfere!). I had 2 small biscuits (and i mean small) with margarine and jelly, a few bites of this egg casserole stuff and my coffee.

Lunchtime shall be either a salad, or a gluten free panini from Greenlife, and dinner will be roasted chicken for me (fish for Mal) and some green veggies in there with a salad.

Plenty of water shall be forthcoming as well.

Today starts with good intentions. Let's hope they stick around.

Menu for today

Subway- turkey/swiss and baked lays- 7points (Im doing weight watchers)

Dinner- pork chops/ broc./ mashed potatoes 8pts

zone bar 4points (snack)

I still have 10 points left... but we'll see how hungry I get. I was so hungry I was about to eat the keyboard last night... Luckily the only thing I ate was the #seven and two. (If you eat it with ketchup... it's not that bad.!) lol

Healthy Living Miles Apart

We can post our food choices of the day- exercise- feelings- things we're trying- menu's and recipes... and of course... general bitching. I miss ya'll! Lots.
