Yay! Josh stopped by after his work today and got rid of those pop-ups that were stopping me from doing my myfitnesspal and writing my blog. I don't understand why my pop-up blocker didn't catch them, but I don't know all that much about computer stuff. I will be the first to admit that, and that is why I call my brat! But, yay! He fixed it! I think I missed writing it as much as people missed reading it. But, never fear, good people, I was mostly good on these two days - I didn't get to do any real exercise because I still can't breather too very well, but I did watch my eating.
Wednesday. I don't remember too much about Wednesday now. I should have written myself notes, but I guess I thought that whatever was wrong with my pute would go away overnight (yeah, I should have known better...) and I would remember. I had my chicken salad and walnuts for lunch, but don't remember supper. I think - I'm pretty sure we had leftovers from the luncheon for our supper, because we had that one day this week, and we had the chicken breasts on Tuesday, so it had to be Wednesday. So, I had tuna noodle casserole (1 cup), Johnny Marzetti (1 cup) and Ron had a whole bunch of stuff - a little bit of everything. Pork Chops from Saturday, too. Baked beans, corn pudding, rice, chicken-broccoli, and and and...
Thursday.
Oh, what a fantastic day! I had a heart doctor appointment in the morning. An echo (echocardiogram) first, then my six-month (yeah, I know. Heart attack was in January. October - January = 9 months. You know how dr.'s offices are.) follow-up. The echo. Ugh - that slimy gel stuff. But the pictures and stuff all over the screen were cool. I wish they meant more to me - they looked like huge gaping holes and volcanoes to me. The tech and I even talked about volcanoes during the process. You gotta talk about something, right? I was still mildly concerned - after all, I haven't really lost all that much weight. Some, yes, and yes, I am eating better - much better - and I am getting more exercise and all that, but...
Finally, in to see the doctor. He came in, asked some questions, then told me that my heart was 'beautiful' and did I have any questions? Come back and see him in six months. I MUST have danced my way out of there. I MUST have, I swear.
I then stopped at Butterbee's for my lunch. I finally chose the big cod (fish) entree as my meal. I even went so far as to have potato wedges as a side. My other side was chili - see, making better choices (okay, not totally, but I figured I deserved some kind of treat!) - not long ago, both sides would have been potatoes of some sort!
For supper last night, I heated up leftover beans for Ron's supper - gotta get them out of the fridge some time!!! A couple hours (yes, I was still THAT full from lunch) later, I finally had me a can of chicken salad and some walnuts - my usual lunch. I was back-assward yesterday!
Friday.
I woke up at 8:30 this morning. 8:30!! I laid in bed and read until after 10. I was so nice and cosy, I sure didn't want to get up, but my back was starting to hurt, so thought it probably a good idea. I put on my flannel nightgown (I think the house is always cold when I get up, don't know why) to wear instead of just a housedress (muumuu to most, tablecloth to my son). I wore that sucker ALL DAY. Oh, was I comfy! I got out all the bills and recent mail I haven't opened, my ledger, my calendar, all that paraphanalia and spent the next 3 or so hours catching that all up. NOT FUN. But - it wasn't any worse than I expected, and that, my friends, is a good thing. I do think, if I watch what I am doing, it may just be possible to get caught back up. Possibly by the end of January, if luck holds. Cross your fingers for us! Of course, we may not get to eat during this time period, but....(I'm joking, I'm joking!!) Groceries come out of the monies first, never fear. Groceries and gasoline. We know what we need to survive.
I got me some lunch (I fried myself 3 eggs (in my little square cast iron skillet) and made 2 slices of toast with a little packet of Orange Marmalade). Then, it was (finally!!) pute time and I did that until Ron got home. Then I told him, since we don't have Corgan tonight - he had a dance at school tonight (and from what I understand, he didn't have a good time, poor fella) - we are going out on a date! Not that we don't go out when Corgan is with us, but it is a little different. So he showered, changed, and off we went. We finally decided to go to Olive Garden. He hadn't been there in quite a while, and since I have been recently and he knew I had enjoyed going, thought he'd give it another try. He didn't want a tomato-y dish - that's not kind to our stomachs later in the evenings any more - and finally tried the seafood mezzaluna, which is the dish I've been getting there. So, we ended up getting the same thing. Hmmmm. Wonder if the waiter thought we'd been married a long time? No wine or anything, we both drank tea. He loved the breadsticks! We also shared only one salad - I forgot to tell them hold that vinagrette crap they put on it. <shudder> When we got close to the bottom, that stuff was swimming. <<double shudder>>
Back home, we put together the dish for our all-day excursion tomorrow. Then he fell asleep in the recliner. I got on the pute. 'Normal' evening for us, but NO TV. I was proud of him!
I was under on my calorie count, so I am giving today five stars for food. Exercise gets its usual. I sure hope I can breathe next week. I am so dreading getting on the Wii tomorrow morning.
