In all my life I have never seen anyone eat ceral so fast as the girl I mentioned before in my office who is morbidly obese. And Sugar Frosted Flakes no less. And multiple bowls, one right after the other. I had to get on her for several things....the multiple bowls..no good. The brand...no good. I suggested Cheerios or oatmeal or bran flakes......something with no sugar. My lord, she is big enough and not doing anything about it. It bothers me. She is a nice enough person, funny, ghetto but had not made the choice to make a lifestyle change for the better. It just worries me.
I was good so far today. I had a bowl of yogurt and granola--pecan and cranberry, coffee and lots and lots of water. I got on the scale and I have lost about 4 pounds. Not anywhere near my goal swimsuit, but a little at a time. Slow and steady wins the race. The water or rather the river of water I drink each day keeps me up every hour to the bathroom. I get tired of going. But I know that water flushes away fat as well.
Have you ever had a bout with bad sushi? Last week I did. I was in the grocery store one moenign about 7am and decided that I would get fresh sushi for lunch. I love sushi and in all the years I have been eating it, never had a bad piece. There was an interesting squid tentacle salad with bamboo shoots made up also. I got that with my normal platter of california rolls, tuna and shrimp and went to work.
I was in seventh heaven when I ate lunch. The squid salad was devine and so was the sushi. I felt a slight queasiness about 40 minutes after eating. It was slight and I was fine after that. About 2 hours later I had a lemon and ginger tea cookie....maybe about three of them. Then the heaving, rolling and churning of my stomach really began. I guess it was all that exotic sushi and the lemon ginger together. Not a good combo.
I began to drink water, lots of it, hoping to push it all down. Needless to say I began to feel that feeling that I needed to keep swallowing and I knew it was time to get up from my desk and sprint to the bathroom. Why is the office bathroom so far away and locked with a key that you have to sign out. By the time I got to the hall, I only had a few seconds to open the door and get in.
Projectile. That is the only word to describe what happened. Needless to say better was the only word I felt after. Needless to day I have not even wanted to THINK about any sushi or lemon ginger english tea biscuits in combination or by themselves. Just won't go there for a very long time.
Well, today started off very well. I left home with 2 apples for breakfast and a small jar of caramel. That was to be my great breakfast. I had one apple and began to get kind of full. Then low and behold, one of the managers from next door brought in egg mcmuffins for all. I had one. The calories from one of those is 370. That is an entire meal. I did not look any furthur to see the fat content. Boy was it good. Normally I do not eat them. I am not a fan of english muffins. It sure was good today. The poached egg was especially good. I do not think I have had an egg in a month. That was why it was so sinfully good.
Now I am filling up on water. I did bring a microwave dinner for lunch. And I have the 2nd apple and a little more caramel. Back on track I am.
