So I have been here for two weeks and 3 days and have managed not to go crazy food wise, though I admit to a slip-up here and there (Baskin Robbins ice cream anyone?). And it is a little harder since I have to feed Mom actual food so that she will gain weight when I need to lose it. I have tried to just make a protein and veggie and stay away from the starches. Last night though we had chicken from Boston Market with mashed potatoes and corn and a squash casserole, so I sorta blew it there with the starch and carbs. Oooops. And tonight we had grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato rice soup....yeah....I know.....
However, I have not been eating or snacking during the day at all, except I have had my Starbucks which is something I need to stop doing again and just having coffee here. Such a hard habit to break...love my iced-quad-venti-upside-down-in-and-out caramel macchiato.
What I would love to do is just have a smoothie day every other day but then I have to think what am I going to feed Mom, and what will she eat since she has a hard time with eating anyway. Which is frustrating so it makes everything out of whack for me. Yeah this has been a blast. Not.
In terms of exercising I think may just start going out to the pool and exercise in it; its pretty good resistance and while getting it done, even if you sweat, you don't know because you're in a pool. Going to google pool exercises and see what I come up with (besides swimming of course). I figure it is still going to be pretty warm here for a while and might as well use the pool while I can, and then go to the gym down the street.
So nope I am not giving up (how old is this blog again?).
