The weight part is fine. Been having some FSP (froth, spew pooh) days for no understandable reason. No change in diet, no change in calories or grams of stuff. Just icky sick. I don't "feel" bad, just suddenly -- there it is.
That said, here are my "rules" for now, which I follow 100% Calories: 1100; protein grams 90-110 daily 64 oz water/liquid
1. Take small bites
2. Eat slowly
3. PAY ATTENTION to my body. I can always eat again later. This is not the only time.
4. Get a box with my order at restaurants, not after. Preview the menu and then decide before I go.
5. Use a small plate at home
6. PAUSE between bites. Put down my fork; talk; get up and walk around or something. Do not eat like you are in the prison dining hall.
7. Learn and REMEMBER what full for me feels like.
8. Live the 30 MIN drink rule
9. Stop immediately when you are comfortable full, not full full.
10. Stand firm - don't let someone convince you one more bite, or a piece of dessert or fries you didn't plan on.
Then some life hacks:
1. Shower everyday; wash my face and brush my teeth twice a day (floss and fluoride rinse)
2. Moisturize (all of me) daily
3. Use my favorite perfume, even if I'm not going anywhere. I am important.
4. Keep my nails trimmed and toenails polished a happy color (not as easy as you think in your 60s)
5. Wear make up just because I like it
6. Exercise regularly (at least 3 x week) and walk a definite number of steps daily
7. Spend time with a heart-friend and do it face to face at least once a week
8. Remind yourself you are unique and beautiful in your own way
SO that's kind of my life as I turn 66 in 2 weeks. The picture is from Sunday this week, with my lovely husband, Jim.
Thank you all for being part of my journey. You are awesome!2018-05-05 home.jpg
