So from Friday through yesterday I wasn't the best at not eating dairy. It was actually a huge issue with me because we had a game night on Friday night where we made sour cream & onion dip which I of course had and then I made brownies and I had one of those. The one good thing that came from Friday was to cut out on the dairy I was eating I didn't put any cheese in my stuffed hot dog. I know it isn't much but hey its the little things.
Saturday- I ate pretty well for lunch. I had Chicken noodles & sauce which I didn't put any butter in so it was dairy free then I started to graze and ended up having some left over dip and a small piece of brownie. For dinner on Saturday we went to Bethh's Christmas party and I ate one of the chicken caeser wraps which had the creamy caser dressing and some grated cheese inside. I tried to pick out the cheese and didn't really use too muc h of the dressing but I kinda failed on that one. In addition I had one of the small chicken salad things and I ended up feeling guilty because of the mayo. Even though I do have to say that Saturday wasn't too too bad. oh yeah when I got home late that night I made myself a peanut butter & jelly sandwhich--not any dairy there but I was eating late so thats a huge no-no.
And now for Sunday. For lunch on Sunday I was really craving Don Pablos so Stan & I went there after we did some Christmas shopping at Target. He absent mindedly got the blanco dip and I thought to myself "everything in moderation" so I had a little blanco on some nachos every now and then and really tried to just eat the chips and salsa. Then when my fajitas came I had a little sour cream on them and then no cheese at all. So I think even though I was cheating I did good in terms of lunch. That night, we went to Antrim (where we got married) to celebrate our anniversary and had a super wonderful dinner there. I got the crab cake as a starter and then there was a salad (which already was cheeseless) and then for the dinner I got a bousin steak thing. Anyway it was really good and the sauce was excellent. Stan got the calliflower soup which was so good I wish I had a bowl of that. We actually split our appetizers together and then we got the same main course so that was all mine. There was mashed potatos on the side which was so reministant of our wedding well so was the boursin since we asked that they put boursin cheese in our mashed potatos. Anyway the meal was great and at the end they brought out a sampler of desserts. They too were really tasty and choc-full of dairy. I wasn't too upset though since I had talked to Paulette, my nutritionist, on Friday and we had agreed that Christmas and my anniversary are free for me to eat how I want. I just have to balance this out with more catiousness.
Oh and when I met with Paulette on Friday we set a goal of me working out at least one day this week. I know that sounds lame like I am so not committed to working out that I have to set such an easily attainable goal. When I first started trying to lose weight it was small goals like this that really made the difference to me. Starting out slow made sure I knew I could do it then the habit kionda creeps up in your brain and you feel totally capable of achieveing more than just that small goal. I am going to go to the gym on Wednesday this week. I think its a perfect time because I usually get out of Joan Carol around 4 or so and then I can go straight there and be home by the time that Stan gets home around 7.
My Goals for This week:
- Do not miss any doses of medicine
-begin taking metformin again (2 pills a day)
- Take multi-vitamin everyday
- Work Out 1 Day This week (Wednesday)
- Take sug out for 2 nightly long walks
-cook dinner at home
-avoid dairy
-Eat Healthier Lunches

So far so good as of today! Although I forgot to eat breakfast and I am having some metformin issues. I haven't done my 2 sug walks yet, and we will have to see if I go to the gym tonight. But I have been making dinner at home! Go Gracie Go!
