I am so delighted that the weekend has finally made it here! I am ready for a long weekend and catching up on some much needed rest! Last night, our Pioneer girls took 2nd place, losing to Woodland High girls softball team. It was a great effort on both sides, but a little sad to see our girls so beaten down after losing the championship.
I have discovered that certain places bring back cravings of certain foods. For example, Sacramento Softball Complex is the first place I tried french fries with mustard and ketchup on them. So, as soon as I walk in the front gates, I am craving those fries. But, I wasn't going to buy them only to eat two and besides, I don't want to get started on the junk food or I know that I will be sorry. I had eaten before we went to the game, so I wasn't hungry. They just smelled soooooo good when people would walk by with them! Ha ha
I'm down another pound today. I've been working really hard to get my waters in because I've had some blood in my urine. I know that the blood is from the kidney stones that I have in my left kidney. And, not drinking enough water is probably causing some irritation in my kidney. So, drink, drink, drink is my new motto. Too bad it can't be a margarita every now & then! lol
I also figured out that the only time I get angry now is if I have to go through a drive thru because fast food places offer nothing that I can eat that is both nutritious and satisfying, so I am going to work harder at preparing meals at home so I don't continue to feel like I'm left out when it comes to my meals. I only eat twice a day with breakfast being my protein shake. My cravings are few and far between at this point. And, they are not overwhelming like they were in the beginning. This new self-control that I have come across amazes me. This "tool" of a tiny stomach is working wonders! I'm also inspired by one of my BFF's, Cathy, who is down 64 lbs. since her surgery in January and she looks amazing! She's always been beautiful, but now she just glows and her self-confidence shines brightly. Love you girl! Keep up the great work, I'm so proud of you!! By this time next year, we'll be the skinny bitches we've always tried to run over with our cars! Ha ha ha ha...
Enjoy your three-day weekend people! Happy eating! ha ha
