How dry I am.... Remember that song? Ok, it really wasn't about water, but still..
I'm lacking water. Ha ha ha. Drank for a few days, and then slowed down. Have to re-water myself. hee hee hee.
Will help (drinking more water) to wash out salt from the body.
I saw Dr B Friday. I was actually GLAD to see her. After wandering around doctors at Dr. Poon, I was happy to be back with her. And I think I will aim to continue to aim to see her. She was / is warming up to me, being more friendly and open, and I'm more comfortable and friendly with her. Even when she's quizzing me on what I'm eating. I changed me Wed March 29 to Thurs March 30 so that I could see her. Didn't want to give up my art day, but funny thing - I have known for weeks that I wasn't going to March 30th art class as I would go to Dr Poon. Don't know why, but just knew it at the beginning of the month.
I am down 1.5 lbs in fat, but up 2 pounds in water. Retaining water because.... she asked if I was having deli meats, premade meats etc. Nope not my thing, not on my list of foods I eat. I do VERY occasionally have like a deli meat or ham but not in the last 2 weeks... or in the last 4 weeks. I admitted it must be the salt. I like real salt. I agreed laughingly to try the half salt - especially after she said that if it wasn't for my water retaining I'd probably be down a pound or 2 more. Makes drinking more water another reason to drink more water - will help drain water out of the body.
I admitted to increasing my snacks again this week too. I was doing well at having just 3 snacks a day, but the last week snacks increased. Mostly because I was emotionally upset with pain, and lack of sleep etc. Unfortunately I still deal with things (emotions, pain) with food/eating. I continued to explain that we had started with an exercise trainer, and that I personally not because of the trainer, hurt myself. Dr B in a friendly way, reminded me of the 3 snacks only, and not to let the trainer make me do something my body isn't able to do. And to give up salt - at least use half salt. I broke down and bought the half salt - I'm going to try with the salt, with the 3 snacks again, and water -water -water.
We came home (AJ and I) and did our cardio and weights. Decided today we will do cardio. Along with cardio on Sunday. Monday we meet Josh at the gym for cardio and weights. Cardio on our own time. So glad we got to doing our cardio/weights on Friday. Was concerned with the drive we wouldn't get to it. Felt so much better afterwards. We also, as it was Poon Day (aka cheat day) went to DQ. Yup - burger/fries and a blizzard.
Back on track today - eggs/sausage for breakfast. As it's Saturday, hot chocolate and marshmallows day. Soup and bagel (low carb) for lunch. Roasted Cabbage and chicken for dinner. Dessert is jello/donut. My 3 are - marshmallows, bagel, donut.
I have a new treat plan too. Meringues. Egg white (unlimited and allowed, not a snack) and sugar free jello (unlimited and allowed, not a snack) whip whites add a bit of jello and bake.
Next - going to try: bit of protein powder, mixed with almond milk (bit), and a bit of frozen lemon curd jam - mix together. Like a pudding. Original recipe had fruit instead of jam but fruit is too much carb/sugar for me.
Ah, feel better today then yesterday. 😺
