Good God given blessed Friday morning!
I feel like a little kid on Fridays! I get excited to get the day over with so I can start my weekend fun!
Wake-up: 5:50am utoh running a touch late but no biggie…. Very little stresses me out on Fridays!
Weight: 252.2 wooohoooo another -.8lbs! I’m only .2lbs away from 20lbs! Why couldn’t I have just pottied a little more this morning :/
This brings me to an interjection of a funny store… The other night I was at the pet store and there were two young adults… maybe 18-20 getting stuff for their first dog… I thought it was cute and was ease dropping on their conversation…. The girl says ‘what does lib mean’ the guy ‘I don’t know why’ the girl ‘It says 4.99 per lib.’ The guy ‘I have no clue’ ….. I was dying laughing on the inside…. I mean really I think more than anything I’m thankful they were only getting a dog and not having a kid… I did turn around and explain that LB was pound…. They found that odd…. J
Coffee….. 2 TBSP of SF Non-Dairy Creamer + 2 sweeteners……
**NEW Protein Shake Recipe: 1 scoop of chocolate protein whey + 1 TBSP of Peanut Butter + 6 ice cubes + 1 cup of water
I needed to bulk up a bit on this morning’s calorie intake! I decided for the first time in my 28yrs that I was going to donate blood. There are some loved ones in my life who have had to have blood transfusions. I felt it was my duty because I have an ample amount that I should donate! YIKES! I was a scurred! It oddly wasn’t bad…. Not at all…. In exchange…. I got a certificate for a 6piece chocolate covered fruit set from Edible Arrangements… YUMS! It says I can pick it up at my convience so I will wait a little bit….. :P
I went with something new this morning for an extra energy boost… FRS is a natural energy drink that is mostly vitamins and minerals very low on calories. It was well delicious…. I mean I’m not 100% sure on the energy thing but for 25calories the taste was worth it!
For breakfast I went with a Dannon Light & Fit Vanilla Yogurt and I mixed in 1/8cup of cranberry&nut trail mix… Something unique and well I liked the salty crunchy sweetness!
I also tried a new supplement today… here is the claim ‘ Apple Pectin will help you feel fuller longer by slowing digestion’ oh ok… well I’m always starving… so I guess maybe this could help… To my surprise it did seem to help… however… it doesn’t warn of a severe side effect…. GAS! I mean serious….. wind… worse than any fiber one bar or fiber cereal… It was bad….. would I take it again…. I might…. I plan on trying it on Monday again… Maybe I’ll team it up with some GAS-X
I then gave blood…. The silly guy made me eat… I told them I was fine…. Grrrr…. So I ate a pack of Keeber whole wheat animal crackers and a bottle of water… I feel really good about giving blood… and I’m glad I had the opportunity to do so! Here is the small downside…. I needed to up my calories by about 200 and not do any exercise… Well I did cheat a little on the exercise… But still I did bump up my calories! Grrrr….. The ‘nurse’ for the Red Cross said it was important that I eat more because I need to remake my blood…. Well maybe I don’t wanna Mr.Male Nurse!
Once comfortably back at my desk I ate two cups of grapes….. Then it was lunch time! Yum…..
For lunch I had 4oz of chicken…. Plus a salad which consisted of cole slaw mix, light poppyseed dressing, and nuts… It was tasty. I also had a couple of celery sticks….I also had mixed some light blue cheese dressing with hot sauce for dipping.... yum!
I mentioned yesterday that they were doing a food day at work. I’m sooooo glad I decided to not participate…. There was nothing healthy… All sugar, carbs, and fried chicken. I didn’t need or want any of it… except…. The cake… mmm I love cake… for a while I had a serious cake addiction… So I had a bite… just one… I ate it slow…. It was good and just enough to satisfy that craving!
By this time I was stuffed…. I completely skipped my normal after noon snacking and hunger pangs…. So maybe ‘apple pectin’ does work. Now I’m not endorsing it or saying to run out and buy it… For me today it seemed to help.
I decided to run some errands and shopping after works. I bought myself a couple of new tops…. Then hit Sam’s Club….. mmmmm rotisserie chicken and chopped salad for dinner! I heart chicken! This helped me at least get a little walking in today!
Crud traffic! I needed to potty bad!
Dinner: Rotisserie Chicken 8oz and ½ of an Asian chopped salad
I worked on my Sunday School teaching for Sunday morning….
Now I’m sipping a cup of coffee completely exhausted… I have to get up relatively early tomorrow as we are going to Kennywood. I’m excited I have gone to Kennywood since I was a kid and my BF has never been. If you don’t see a blog tomorrow you’ll now know why. I will try to get to the blog, but we’ll see!
I’m a little nervous about Kennywood tomorrow. There is going to be tons of unhealthy food readily available… Additionally it’s a lot of walking… way more then I’m used to..... and well my biggest fear… probably one of the reasons that I haven’t gone to Kennywood since I was a kid… what if there are rides I don’t fit on… What if I go to get on a ride and it doesn’t latch because my cuncky legs or big tummy get in the way?! Just praying that doesn’t happen. Lord knows I embarrase myself enough!
Calories: I'm just shy of 1,500 for the day. So over my norm by about 200calories.
Water was spot on today. I probably drank 40oz more then needed. YAY for H2O!
Praises: So thankful for Friday! I’m glad that the Lord made my body healthy and strong enough to be able to donate blood to others, I’m also thankful he made it not painful! I’m thankful for my friend Karen who texts makes me smile. I’m thankful for not going potty in my pants in the car. I’m being strong in the Lord with the choices I make. I’m most importantly aware of God’s love in my life. I feel it, I see it, and I’m beyond thankful for it. How it took me this long to realize it was there all along I’ll never know but I’m glad I’ve found it now!
xoxo
