I went to the grocery store this evening with my extractions in mind, looking for soft sources of protein that were lowish in carbs that would allow me to still sort of balance out my diet. I think canned veggies should be soft enough (carrots & asparagus in particular) to eat easily, and then cottage cheese and the new greek yogurt fad are dairy sources that should be easily eaten. I got stuff for my semi-homemade chicken soup and a chicken pot-pie, too, which should be easy. I've also got an email in to the nutritionist for suggestions; we'll see if she adds anything I didn't think of (I could do just straight broths, but they tend to be a bit salty, and I can do peanut butter, but for the rest of the week, I still have just water to drink, so peanut butter would be a slow go).
Haven't done my wii fit today... didn't get it in yesterday, either, but I did get that walk in with the dogs. Hubby is on the PS3 playing another game at the moment. I may shoo him off if he can't clear this area to get in some time on the fit.
My weight is up, even when I weighed first thing this morning. I'm still convinced that's muscle weight; I've been more active in the last month than I've been since I was in high school, and that's bound to start building muscle, which has more mass. I'm still feeling really good in general, more confident and sexy.
I struggle with insomnia, so I tend to medicate myself to sleep, both with the prescription I have, and with benedryl. I sleep 9-10 hours a night, and then I'm still exhausted the next day. I've been diagnosed with mild sleep apnea, and I sleep with a CPAP machine to help treat it. I'm looking for other ways to soothe and relax myself to sleep (music) so that I can rely less on the meds and maybe actually rest while I'm asleep so I'm not exhausted the next day.
Still, I think I'm on the right track; I'm at a net loss of calories every day, I'm active, I'm making sure to eat the right sorts of things (whole grains, vegetables, etc), and I didn't put the weight on overnight. It won't come off that way.
