Well, yesterday would have been a perfect day to go OFF my diet plan and to drink EXTRA Diet Coke! My grand daughter (ELEVEN!!!) was caught sexting - vulgar lewd stuff. She is grounded for a month from her phone and computer. But, as soon as she got here to go to the pool, she opened my laptop when I was out of the room. I reprimanded her, and she acted like she didn't know anything about the grounding. Then, when I went out of the room again, she opened the tablet! It was very disheartening to see this lack of respect for me and her outright rebellion!
But, I stayed within my calories, and I didn't drink any extra DC. WHEW! Close one, though. Those donut holes were really calling me!
This morning, I was down from 248.6 to 248.2, PTL. I'm not used to this SLOW weight reduction, but I'm TRYING to be satisfied with it, knowing that it IS progress. So far this week, I've been in the 1,500's every day (down from 1,700's before that). I'm still able to get in my fruits and veggies, but it's a challenge keeping my calories that low.
Today, I'm making Chinese Casserole (at my husband's request). There's nothing really "Chinese" about it except that it is supposed to have soy sauce in it (but we use Worcestershire). I'm trying something different than I've ever done. Instead of using the ground beef, I'm using ground Jimmy Dean sausage. We started making that substitution in our homemade spaghetti sauce, and we don't know how we ever ate it any other way. The challenge will be to not use too many Asian Rice Noodles on top. A half a cup is 130 calories!
I was awakened at 4:15 by a text from my son that they haven't gotten their EBT food benefits, which were supposed to be loaded on 8/1. They've called every day, but haven't been able to get ahold of the case worker. I guess I'll need to give them some grocery money, or go get some stuff and take to them. Sigh. Who says you only have to take care of your children until they're 18! My daughter is 37 and my son is 34, but we still end up "having" to help them both in some way or another each month. Next month, my son is getting much-needed glasses, and his Medicare only covers like $75 of the cost of the lenses, and he needs anti-glare because of severe headaches.
And, there may be more expenses coming (please God, NO!) The guy who lives with them, Josh, has just had his cancer reoccur, and he has to have radiation and chemo which will mean he misses a lot of work. He pays in full the rent and utilities each month (in exchange for having the whole upstairs of my son's house to himself).
OK, well, I've got all my bemoaning off my chest. I know that some people don't think things like this "belong" in a Journal entry. But, it's MY Journal, and I can write whatever I want to, and it's up to each person whether or not they want to read it. Things like this DO affect dieting and weight loss, and many people can relate to the effect of STRESSORS on their success or failure. So far, thank the Lord, I've been able to hold it together. There comes a point, though, where ONE piece of straw is the one that breaks the camel's back. I can feel the straw getting heavier.
