So I read Dr. Furhman's book, Eat to Live. He basically says to eat a TON of veggies and fruit and legumes. He says that the nutrient density (being full from nutrients and volume low cal foods) will fill you up versus the overall caloric intake. I'm going to do this for about a week or so and see how my weight changes. Eating is definitely my hardest issue, but if I can eat a ton of food, I may be able to do what he suggests. I went out to eat and had onion rings, which is not what I had initially planned to get, but I will not do another cheat/reward day until the weekend after next. Oh, also ate half a bar of chocolate. :/ I think for the next couple of weeks I'm going to kick meat to the curb (for the most part) So much work to be smaller!

Still getting in your workout, even if it's different than your initial plan is still an accomplishment! Very Happy

Blah. So I decided I would donate blood today. Last time I did it was probably 4-5 years ago. I got preeetty sick. I felt super lightheaded, had techs putting ice packs all over me, bad smelly stuff waved in my face, vomited, I nearly passed out all the way. They gave me a cup and told me to drink it -- while I was still halfway out of it. I realized it was coke but didn't care at the moment. I never drink pop. I think I drank about 8-10 ounces during my time there. I told them I brought raisins to eat for afterwards b/c I'm not fond of the processed snack cakes they provide. They said ok, but still eat some of the junk. I found a granola bar and ate that too.

When I got home I ate a banana oatmeal bar (that I made myself) and a bit of chocolate. Still feeling sickly off and on. I feel like today may have ruined my weight loss progress. I'll TRY not to worry about it and just focus on being healthy and having my blood sugar return to normal.

Cassandra: Good for you for donating, I'm deathly afraid of needles so I avoid them like the plague!!!

Work, school, gym, homework. I've got 2 10 page essays, 5 assignments, 1 test and 5 exams looming over my head. The papers and assignments are the most immediate. Yay school.

Today should be pretty uneventful. Thursdays start my work week. And it always feels super long. (That's what she said.) 4-12 Thursday, Friday, and again on Saturday. But my Saturday is really a 16 hour shift, because I work 12am-8am. Sundays I come home and sleep until noon, and then I think I'm going to a card making party. Anywho, right now I'm just hanging out before I have to go into work. I did a face mask, and cleaned my room up a bit. Work will probably be slow, so maybe I'll work on some homework.

so i woke up when my alarm clock went off and i did get up but i layed back down and fell asleep and i woke up to my mom knocking on my open door saying the lady from the temp place i am trying to apply for is on the phone, that went well then i got on FB and read something very happy/sad ( well say emotional ) about "Red Fridays" and the story that was attached to it was so emotional that i started crying so for only being up for about an hour ive already had a roller coaster of emotions. lol so the rest of my day should be intresting.
HAPPY FRIDAY Exclamation
