New Low

204.2 - Yesterday I had eggs and beans for breakfast, then we took off for the Twin Cities. I had a chef's salad for lunch and bean soup late at home. I didn't get my three servings of beans (only about 2), and I didn't get my 3 servings of Psyllium (only about one) and I sure didn't get 5 servings of veggies. But, I didn't make up for it by adding in all kinds of bad stuff. I just didn't eat as much.

205.2 - I seem to have picked up a bit of momentum again. Today I'll be out of town for most of the day. It will be almost impossible for me to eat everything I'm supposed to and drink as much water. We'll see what happens.

205.8 - A little motion, but not much.

206.5 - I seem to be at a stand still. And, I had absolutely no nuts yesterday.

206.6 - Have I mentioned, I'm really starting to detest beans.

207.8 - Had another consultation with Karen Hurd last night. She predicted to within a pound how much weight I should have lost by this time. No changes to the recommendations. We asked if "milk-based" soups were ok to eat and she said yes, cream of broccoli etc. That will add a lot to my choices for meals.

New Low

206.8 - I think I had an unusual fluid build-up yesterday that threw my weight off by about a pound. This number makes more sense for today.

A Little Increase

209.6 - I had some canned soup for lunch yesterday. I think it was pretty salty.

208.8 - I'm really getting tired of beans, but I can't let that increase my desire for nuts and decrease my resistance to them. Nuts are on the "allowed" list; they neither hurt nor harm the process. But, they have a lot of calories, so too many can't be good.

Happy New Year!

208.6 - I thought for sure I was going to be heavier today because I snacked a lot yesterday afternoon and evening. I weighed myself 5 times just to be sure. (Throw out the high and low, then pick the middle of the remaining three if they're close.) Nice way to start the new year. I think I'm about 10 lbs less than I was at Thanksgiving time.

I've noticed lately that my BP is higher in the morning than later in the day. Not sure what's up with that.
