Before I begin this entry I would like to thank every one for well wishes and condolences. Though I have gotten to a point where I am emotionally ok, Lil Bit has not quite gotten there. I am literally pulling patience and tolerance from every place I can in helping her work through her little grieving process.
Moving on...
My co worker had hipped me to this semi liquid diet plan. The reason why I say semi liquid is because I actually do eat two 250 cal meals per day in addition to protein shakes. I basically consume a shake every hour and at the times I am supposed to eat, I stop and eat. So far so good considering my last meal is between 5 and 6 PM I am not hungry.
Today I called myself trying to purchase pre made salads in order to take the stress off of me having to measure, weigh etc; and what do you know?? I skimmed over the nutritional value label and ate 2 more servings than what I should have. *sigh* I should have taken a closer look...reading is really fundamental.
Anyway I am not to worried about it as the original plan requires 7, 100 calorie shakes a day in addition to the two meals... a sista can't do 7, I can only drink 5 maybe 6 so I had some extra calories to play around with.
I will be back with updates as I continue with this. In the mean time I will tell you that day one was hard eating every hour on the hour (an hour goes by fast) by the time I made it to my last meal I seriously had the itis and wanted a nice warm bed to fall asleep in. Today (Day 2) was difficult in the sense that I had things to do during the early part of the day, so running around in the snow and having to remember to drink my shakes when I should was a tad bit difficult. I may have to leave some packets and water in the car for when I am out and about.
Anyway...right now I am teetering between going back to the gym or getting a Wii Fit. Decisions, decisions, decision...
I like Wii I have not done Wii Fit but that boxing and tennis is NO JOKE!!! Either option just get moving!
ReplyDeleteAlso Re: Lil Bit have you thought about getting her someone to talk to? Most schools have social workers that have the trianing and skills to deal with loss and that's why you pay your taxes!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I am looking into buying the Wii Fit within the next week or two. I will definitely give an update on how it is.
ReplyDeleteLil Bit already has an appointment set up to see a behavioral specialist; this appointment was in place before Candy's passing. So I am going to have her sit and speak with Rileigh about that as well.
So far she has been ok at school. It's just at home more specifically around bed time is when she gets upset...
