The weekend was busy.....though it's not like there was much happening. Mostly a lot of SNOW! Ugh. Guess who gets to shovel. And shovel, and shovel. I've had enough of the shoveling already. And it's only December. The weather gets to me too, last few weeks I've been stiff and struggling with walking Jax. It's like my body is lead - so hard to move. There's no lightness in it. By night time my right leg is so painful I could cry. Sometimes walking Jax, I wonder how I'm going to get home because of being so sore and stiff. The shoveling doesn't help. Today I fell twice and slipped numerous times walking Jax. I don't even want to eat chocolate because it won't stop the pain.
Speaking of eating - I've been doing well. I got keto sticks, I'm monitoring and I'm good in ketos. Hopefully the weight loss will show too. I'm still on plan. On Saturday we went to my mothers - she's well and active as ever - I brought an egg pancake, had some chicken, cheese, some pork and a few veggies available. She never noticed my short hair, or any weight loss on me - guess in a way that's better as I don't have to explain anything.
Yesterday we had company for dinner. Made a casserole - chicken, turkey sausage, mushrooms, cauliflower and I added spinach. Also, a green bean salad, and broccoli, for dessert - jello with a few blackberries. Today I had 2 spoons of last night's dinner before shoveling, then an omelette for breakfast, and a bar for lunch - just didn't have it in me to eat anything else. Tonight for dinner (not last night's dinner again, think I will freeze that) but my favorite famous low carb 'split pea' soup. I found the recipe years ago, and still make it as it's so good. Especially since when we were in Pickering I remembered Bruno's Meats and thought my chances of getting a smoked turkey thigh would be good. It was!!! I got two. The best way to make the recipe is to have smoked turkey - which, surprisingly is very hard to find (at least around here). I'm making it between writing this. Looking so forward for it tonight......maybe I will make some protein bread to go along with it. Oh, excellent idea.
Think I hurt my right foot and hip more with that last fall. I feel like my foot is swelling a bit. As it is I'm almost waddling when I walk already with the pain of that right leg on a good day.
Yeah, I'm not too up today. Noticed lately I'm not happy? joyful? excited? light? I not sure what, I am mostly content. I'm happy with my choices and decision of weight loss, my way of doing it, my foods, my family, my home, basically my health. I'm not depressed, I guess just a bit down. For no reason that I can relate to. Might be the season - not enough light outside? Christmas? Snow? I don't have the drive to exercise YET. Though I clean the house, walk Jax, and shovel, shovel, shovel. Maybe not enough dopamine hits. AJ says it's looking like snow/not good driving at Christmas Eve or Day. That means not seeing my family or his this Christmas if I don't drive. Sobey's had a turkey on sale last week - looks like I'll make that for us. Today that sounds like the best idea.
Talked with Wendy today - she was a patient at RH when I was there, different program though. Nice woman, enjoyed her company. Plan to visit her in the summer, she lives near St Jacob's Market. I thought we could go - take Jax with - see her/her husband, go to the market and stay overnight at a hotel. Make it a mini vacation. Would be nice. Something to look forward to.
Tomorrow we go to Dr Poon. Even though I know I've been eating on plan, and in ketos - I am nervous. Optimistic that there will be a weight loss. If not, well, I will continue working on it. Hope there's no snow to shovel.
Think that's about all my tired, sore, soul has to write today. Off to make that protein bread before it gets too late. Will let you know what happens tomorrow in a day or so.
