I missed a work meeting today. I thought it was in the afternoon, but it
was early-ish in the morning. Luckily, I was forgiven, but I was angry at
myself.
Lately I’ve been late to many things and forgetful of others. I
periodically slide into ditziness and I hate when that happens.
Because of my lap-band, it’s harder to get ditzy on my eating. Oh, it’s
possible to gain weight with the band, and I’ve done it. There are certain
foods that aren’t that good for you that will go down easy, like candy and ice
cream. They’re called “sliders,” and not those cute little hamburgers. But
luckily I can’t do the bulk as I’ve done in my binging past. I won’t be downing
whole cheesecakes in an evening or finish off a package of cookies.
I’ve gotten a little sloppy in my eating. Lately I’ve been tired when I
get up, so I’ve skipped my breakfast protein shake in favor of coffee and held off
eating until lunch. I’ve had my regular lunch and then I’ve been hungry the
rest of the day and maybe snacked on some sunflower seeds, or made a dinner of
brie and blue cheese on crackers. I don’t think I’ve been getting enough
protein, and when that happens, no matter how little you eat, you still don’t
lose weight.
Well, one of the reasons I started this blog was to confess my “sins” and
keep on the straight and narrow. Readers,
forgive me, for I have strayed.
Starting tomorrow, it’s back to the shakes for breakfast, no matter how
cold it is in the morning. (Note: I’m a native Southern Californian, so my cold
is a Midwesterner’s brisk. When it gets down to the 40s, we panic.) That’s why
cars have heaters. And when I’m at work, I can have all the coffee I can drink.
There, I’ve put it out there. Now I just gotta do it.
See you tomorrow.
