Lunch: Huge salad, greens, vegetables, little bit of roast beef, no dressing
Dinner: Crab legs, broccoli, 4 pieces of sushi, some pickled ginger, some wasabi
I did fairly well, considering the cravings that yesterday's first two meals brought. I guess that I cannot eat off plan without paying some kind of consequences. I am fine now, but slipping like that kind of scares me now. I am being foolish, even for me, but I was thinking during dinner that maybe even a little bit of the right-now-wrong-foods might make me stroke out or something, especially this early in the whole weight loss thing because getting to reasonable health is a long way away. I did not want this to be about losing weight, although becoming healthier hinges on exactly that.
I have to wonder why the concept and admitting that shedding some serious poundage is what I need to do and why I am so reluctant to just own up to that. It does not help that two things, one last evening and one today, reminded me that I am just one, ugly person. I guess I must have been feeling too self assured there for a few moments and forgot that. For some reason, I need to keep reminding myself lately. Should not be so hard.
I still need to sleep, although I wonder how possible it is to catch up on lost sleep, even in the very short term, like over a few days. I think that I read that lost sleep cannot ever be regained by sleeping more or longer on subsequent days/nights. It makes sense. Not like a bank account or anything.
Speaking of which, my credit card company bumped me up to a higher level of membership, or whatever they call it, and sent me a new card, with an extended renewal date. Cool. Except I never received the new card and found out that it was all messed up when I called them for something else and was reminded that I had never activated the new card. Uh, what new card? Then the explanation, then the explaining that it was a security issue and now, on a long, holiday weekend, I am without a credit card because I authorized them to cancel the current one, create a new card number and overnight the new one to me. The account stays the same, everything carries over, so no problems there. But, with the holiday, the chances are excellent that the new card will arrive next week. Still no problem, but I and my CC company are wondering what happened to the other one.
One funny thing from my conversation with their representative, or whatever they are called :), happened when she was explaining my options. One was to do the cancel and reissue, one was to hold on until next week to do it and the third was, "Well, the other option is for you to activate the card you never received." I started laughing and had to tell her why. O.K., tiny, lame joke, but it still is funny to me. Wonder what happened to that card?
I made reservations for three more day trips, which is how this whole thing with the CC started. They are little excursions to fairly interesting places, but the main focus and energy for me is that I will be out of town and out of contact for three, lovely days over the next month or so. Paradise. Bliss. And, I did not have to be left behind during the Rapture to experience being left alone. Like I said, bliss.
Well, off to look at a few web sites, bother some people and an early bedtime, hopefully to pretend that I am catching up on all of that lost sleep. Oh, and I am feeling better health-wise. Less ear pain, less coughing, less goo clogging up/coming out of me. More bliss.
Today does have a GP. It is a thunderbird.
