doing better
Today was much better. I am back on track so far and it's 7 pm. I had a granola bar and diet tea. For lunch, a frozen yoplait, a granola bar and v8fusion juice (came in under 400 cal). For dinner I had one serving of spaghetti. I didn't check the calories, but it was home made so I have a good idea. I kept it lean. the rest of the evening I will probably have some iced tea and if I get hungry I might have another frozen yoplait or an apple (depending on how I feel) I slept in till noon today. My new meds just knock me out, but I did get the kitchen cleaned. Also when I woke up I did my treadmill. I thought I would be weak for not exercising the 4 days I was at my moms but I did 120 steps then rested and did another 60. I also did 2 chair aerobics exercise routines. It felt really good to be able to take care of myself. I thought it would be a battle to get back on track but I guess I'm realizing taking care of myself feels good. Also the scales showed only a 4 lb gain instead of a 7 lb gain so that made me feel better too. My doggie is calling me to take her out, so I guess that's all I'll write for now. Thank you all for your support.

So glad to hear you had a much better day today! Good for you for getting right back on track. Doesn\'t it feel good to take care of yourself? I am learning how to do that, too, and it is a wonderful feeling. Sorry I didn\'t figure it out about 45 years ago! HA! Oh, well, better late than never! I plan to make a concerted effort to work on this every day, and I hope you will, too!!
Hugs,
Becky
